Why Armored Heat?

There is no better way to get ready for next season than to improve your Arm Strength and Arm Health! Come into your next season turning heads and punching tickets! Armored Heat is developed by the former Doctor of Physical Therapy for the LA Dodgers and is the trusted Arm Care program for many Big Leaguers, Top Colleges, and Youth Athletes looking to gain an edge on their competition.

There were 3 main holes in Arm Care that we wanted to improve:

1) Stop Doing The Same Program Day after Day, Week after Week, Month after Month
2) Incorporate better Scapular Specific Strengthening Principles
3) Design Programs that correlated with the Throwing Workload for that Specific Day

If you want some support with your Arm Care, let us introduce you to the BEST Arm Care App and Program Available that comes with video and written instruction for every exercise in your programming.

It’s like having a personal Baseball Physical Therapist in your Pocket guiding you through our 4 programs:
- Pre Throw Activation (Prior to Throwing)
- Full Armor Program (High Workload Throwing Day)
- Scapular Emphasis Program (Moderate Workload Throwing Day)
- Recovery/Mobility Program (Low Workload Throwing Day)

The programs are laid out in 2 week blocks so athletes don’t hit the normal Arm Care Plateaus and also don’t get bored by simply going through the motions. Armored Heat is designed to fit in perfectly and complement your current Strength/Conditioning and Pitching Philosophies. Learn More.

🔥 There are a TON of different Nerve issues that can arise in the throwing arm Here are the most common issues we see: ✅ Brachial Plexus Traction (Low Sitting Shoulder) ✅ Compression at Scalenes/Pec Minor ✅ Ulnar N: Arcade Of Struthers (Triceps Fascia) or between FCU Heads ✅ Median N: Compression from Biceps Fascia OR running between the Two Pronator Muscles ✅ Radial N: Compression Between Brachialis and Brachioradialis OR Compression under Extensors/Supinator Quick Description of Each⬇️ ✅ Brachial Plexus Traction (Low Sitting Shoulder) Nerves HATE being overly stretched! This is why step one is identifying if the Athlete has a depressed Scap/Shoulder which Pre Tractions all of the Nerves going into the arm making them hyper sensitive to compression/traction ✅ Compression at Scalenes/Pec Minor The Brachial Plexus (All of the Nerves before they split up) can also be compressed by the Scalenes (Neck Muscles in the Video) and the Pec Minor (2nd Muscle Flipped over) **Video Credit @instituteofhumananatomy It is important to address any restriction or excessive tone present ✅ Ulnar N: Arcade Of Struthers (Triceps Fascia) or between FCU Heads The Triceps Fascia can compress of adhere to the UN It also runs right between the two heads of the FCU and we know how important that muscle is in throwers! This can cause the bowstring in the Cubital Tunnel ✅ Median N: Compression from Biceps Fascia OR running between the Two Pronator Muscles The Median Nerve which provides sensory to the index, middle finger, and thumb is commonly compressed by 2 of the most active muscles in the throwing arm🤯 ⚾️Biceps (Fascia) ⚾️Pronator Teres ✅ Radial N: Compression Between Brachialis and Brachioradialis OR Compression under Extensors/Supinator In our experience these two are the most pinpoint presentation and plate usually reproduced with Max Co Contraction 🎯 It’s also worth noting that Double Crush Syndrome is a common occurrence where compression or traction in the first couple examples can make the arm Hyper Sensitive to the Last 3 Both need to be addressed!

🔓 UNLOCK YOUR TIGHT PECS ⚾️ We are not part of the Anti-Bench group for most Pitchers ⚾️ The Pec Major is a primary accelerator of the Arm and needs to be incredibly strong and powerful ⚾️ We also acknowledge that acutely after an upper body lift, the Pecs can get tight and restrict Range Of Motion ⚾️ This can be an issue in Postural drifting (For comparison, think about how you lose full elbow extension right after a big Biceps Workout) into a forward shoulder position ⚾️ Just adding in quick movements of: ✅ Pec Elongation ✅ Mid/Low Trap Shortening Between sets can prevent these short term drifts! ** This is far more important if you trend toward a Forward shoulder or Anterior Tipped Scapula OR if your lift before you throw 🚨 These are just exercise examples! Mess around and find a combo that works best for you

⛽️ Armored Heat Facility: High Performance Training (Wixom, MI) We are fired up to partner with the 100+ Athletes at High Performance Training and provide all of them with Armored Heat 🔥⛽️📈 We look forward to watching these guys dominate the Off Season and Shove next Year!

THE BEST COMEBACK STORY THIS YEAR🤯🤯 Here’s the Timeline⬇️ ⚾️ Complete Tear of The Lat + Surgery: 5/1/2019 ⚾️ Spring of 2020 was back in Big League Camp Dealing Before COVID shutdown happened ⚾️ Complete Break of Humerus Playing Long Toss Back Home: 4/20/2020 ⚾️ Return to Milb Game: 8/22/2021 ⚾️ Back to The Show: 9/13/2023 🔥 The guy is Built Different BOTH Physically and Mentally 💯 Just as impressive, throughout this entire process he was the first guy that would take a young player under his wing and teach him how to work, how to be a pro, and how to pitch Longer form Video with Zach is in the Works!!

🔥 The Pelvic Rotation around the Front Hip is a Combo of Closed Chain Hip IR and Horizontal Adduction ⛽️ This is rotation is Primarily accelerated by the abrupt stop by the lead leg sending the force up the Femur and into that hip which aids in spinning the pelvis 🛑 This motion is decelerated by the Front Side Glute Max, Glute Med, and Deep 6. Structural Impingement of the Hip and Oblique Activation Above The Pelvis may also act as a stopping force of this rotation. 🔓 Those same hip structures with the addition of the Posterior Capsule can limit the Range of Motion of this rotation 🔥 Hip Airplanes are Multi Dimensional ✅ Add Load (done manually in Video, but can also use 3D Straps) on the Way up to Challenge Concentric Strength ✅ Apply Heavy Overload on the way down to challenge Eccentric Strength ✅ Add A Speed Component ✅ Use it as a Posterior Capsule Mobilization (Love This technique as A PT!!) ✅ End Range Training at both the top and bottom of the range 🔥 Make sure the Athlete and Coach are on the same page with what the athlete needs in their body/delivery before implementing (Ex: If an athlete is hyper mobile in this movement already, it is unlikely you want to mobilize this. You need to hit the point of stiffness to optimally transfer the force) 🛑 If You Feel a pinch in the groin at the bottom of each rep, you are just impinging the front of your hip. Address that first then resume

Fired Up to Continue our Partnership with: ✅ @wkubaseball ✅ @ekubaseball ✅ @fordhambaseball ✅ @tommiebaseball These guys killed it last year and look forward to building on that foundation ⛽️🦾🔥

✅ BIG TIME CLOSED CHAIN PROGRESSION There are two primary ways to progress a closed chain Upper body Exercise: ☝️ Increase the Load/Weight going through the Arm ✌️ Increase the Stability Demand 🎯 This exercise targets the second one in MANY different ways: 1) Single Arm Weight Bearing Through Entire Exercise: In a movement like the bear crawl, the time where both hands are on the ground is a time of less demand and is far easier on for the Shoulder/Scap Musculature than the Single Arm Transitions. This movement removes those “easier” segments 2) Total Body Rhythmic Stabilization: The oscillations with the top hand provides a rhythmic stab to the entire body. Far more difficult for the weight bearing shoulder than the tapping on the Arm Rhythmic Stabs 3) 90 Degrees of Abduction: The full trunk rotation toward the sky move the shoulder load from the basic out in front, Push Up position to the 90 Degrees of Abduction out to the side position. Huge position for Throwers! 4) Knees Off Ground: This will increase both the stability demand on the trunk AND is increasing the total load going through the shoulder. To regress the exercises, take this part away 🔥 If you don’t have a Small Water Ball, using a Shoulder Tube or Body Blade can provide a similar stimulus

Armored Heat 🤝 @jmubaseball Juiced up to be providing Armored Heat to the entire Pitching Staff 🔥 Looking forward to working with @travisferrick and the rest of the Coaching/Performance Staff Armored Scaps Headed to Harrisonburg⛽️

✅ Pre Throw Activation🔥🔥🔥 ⚾️ Thanks to the feedback from the Armored Heat Family, we added a Pre Throw Activation Series to the Armored Heat Program about a year ago and the feedback has been Amazing! We designed each Pre Throw Activation program around 4 Main Goals with each consisting of: ⚾️ T Spine Active Mobility ⚾️ Scapular Activation ⚾️ Rotator Cuff Activation ⚾️ Total Arm Dynamic The Activation Series will Progress every 2 weeks just like the Full Armor, Scapular Emphasis, and Recovery/ Mobility Programs 🔑 Key Notes: ⚾️ Should be completed after a total body general warmup and before plyocare work/throwing ⚾️ You should not push to fatigue before throwing as the goal of this portion is muscular activation
