A Strength And Conditioning Program
For Serious Baseball Pitchers
Still, it's not for everybody
From: Former pro Steven Ellis
Dear Pitching Friend:
Let's get to it. I've developed a comprehensive strength and conditioning program for pitchers 13 and up that'll show you:
- How to develop balanced, "pitching-specific" fitness.
- How to build functional strength, lean muscle mass, dynamic flexibility and explosive power — without overemphasizing or shortchanging any component.
- How to improve athleticism and agility, and achieve peak performance on the mound.
- How to recover from games and pitching workouts quicker, so you get leaner and stronger when everyone else is just getting tired.
- How to increase your body's capacity to perform at its highest level — longer.
- How to condition your arm 52 weeks a year for more speed and less stress, with simple yet effective throwing and pitching routines that can help you throw harder.
But it's going to cost something. And you're going to have to put something into it. Most pitchers aren't up to the challenge. That's why by the time a player reaches high school, only 1 in 10,000 will make it to the pros.
Are you a statistic?
If you're looking for a shortcut or "magic bullet" pitching solution, this program isn't for you. But if you're 100 percent committed to becoming a complete pitcher — and if you're willing to work hard at it — TUFFCUFF will transform your career and your life!
That's because this proven, "pitcher specific" workout program delivers strength and muscle mass, stamina and a lean body, balance and flexibility, athletic quickness and power.
I'm proof that it works. I did it. And it's the same step-by-step plan that allowed me to gain more than 12 mph on my fastball from high school to pro ball.
Now, you may gain even more!
Take the guesswork out of your training program
and finally get the results that will pay off
on the mound
What worked me will work for you, too — if you put in the time.
- For junior high and high school pitchers, that's about 45 to 60 minutes a day, two to three days a week.
- For college and pro guys, that's about 90 minutes a day, four to six days a week.
Yes, you will get bigger muscles, develop better flexibility, and add more strength. But you'll also be targeting the "rotational power" in your core – your abdominals, lower back, hips, and quads.
The detailed nutrition guidelines guarantee that you'll know what nutrient-dense foods to consume for maximum energy when you need it most. And the attention you'll pay to recovery from your workouts will give you a straight path to the results you want.
More than 193 simple yet effective
pitching exercises
I'm offering you the EXACT SAME exercises I used in college and professional baseball to improve pitching velocity. And they couldn't be easier to do. Here's what I mean:
- You take the TUFFCUFF manual to the weight room, baseball field, or back yard.
- You follow the step-by-step program that's outlined for you on the weight training and throwing charts.
Now that's easy!
Unlike other workout programs that I've seen, I'm not going to overwhelm you with pages and pages of cookie-cutter pitching mumbo jumbo, just to make my product look large and worthwhile.
If you are looking for an expensive sleep aid, buy their program. If you want to start developing "explosive" pitching strength TODAY that utilizes more than 193 of the best pitching exercises available, buy mine.
In my program, I cut to the chase with just over 188 easy-to-read pages of my prime strength and conditioning exercises and training strategies — those that you can begin using immediately and see results even quicker.
More than 509 pictures illustrating
correct exercise technique
And if you're like me and don't like to read, check out the more than 509 pictures and illustrations that make the exercises easy to understand. This is important because your FORM – how you perform your exercises – is just as important as the TYPE of conditioning you do. All these pictures in TUFFCUFF allow you to start off on the right foot, improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injuries.
If you can't throw harder and minimize the risk of injury with this workout program, I seriously think you're in the wrong field. SERIOUSLY. It's all here! And it's laid out in an easy-to-follow format so you can get to work, right away.
And it's for pitchers ages 13 and up. TUFFCUFF has different workout programs for junior high, high school, college, and professional baseball players. That way, whether you're 13 or 30 years old, you will know exactly what to do each day of the year. I'm talking about having a specific plan to follow in the off-season, pre-season, and "in-season" — for all ages and skill levels.
Learn how to train more explosively
The act of pitching is a series of explosive movements followed by short breaks. That's how you need to train. How much better could you be with training program that actually helps you how to do that, day in and day out — for all 52 weeks a year?
Do you have the work ethic and motivation to get bigger, faster, and stronger, but need someone to supply you with a guide that'll act as a "personal trainer," walking you through your workout, step by step — with full pictures, illustrations, and exercise descriptions?
That's TUFFCUFF.
Take it to the weightroom, baseball field or back yard and open it up to the correct page. It will tell you what to do on that specific day — from what exercises to perform (lifting, running, stretching, throwing) to what foods and supplements to take before and after your workout. You'll learn proven ways to speed up recovery from workouts and games, too.
What's more, TUFFCUFF even has separate, individualized pitching workouts for starters and relievers during the in-season program. That's because different pitching roles require different training techniques — something that you'll learn about in the book.
Plus, it's completely safe and effective
This is how big league pitchers are now training. It was developed with my good friend and certified athletic trainer Dave Motzer, who works at a hospital in southern Illinois. Before publishing this manual, we put more than 40 high school pitchers in the St. Louis area through the program over a four-year period. The results speak for themselves. The complete program, of course, is in the manual.
Here's what a former Chicago Cubs trainer says about it....
"TUFFCUFF is an excellent resource for young pitchers trying to develop strength and flexibility. As a certified athletic trainer, I feel that the information Steven is providing is safe and well-researched. I recommend TUFFCUFF for high school, college, and professional pitchers." —Steve Aydt, ATC/L |
Now you can follow the same system used by big league pitchers to condition their entire body for greater power and flexibility
This complete pitcher conditioning program can help you improve, too! But it won't happen by "osmosis." You've got to get TUFFCUFF. Then you've got to do it. But it couldn't be easier. Inside, you'll find this:

More success stories from pitchers
using
this professional workout
program in 2008
"After two months of TUFFCUFF workouts three days a week, my 11th grade nephew has added 5 pounds of muscle and is throwing the ball harder and farther. ... This guide proves getting to the next level requires work, not steroids." |
"If you are seriously conditioning as a pitcher, I think this book has a lay out that is easy to understand, graphically, it's easy to follow and he provides a great variety of charting and tracking material so that as you measure your work you can see the impact. This puts pitching specific workouts as well as whole body conditioning techniques in a nice package." |
"There are so many different exercises that you can do and, most important, it comes with complete workout logs. Each day is set out for you. You know exactly what you have to do. If you have any kind of will power to become a stronger and better athlete, one that will make it to college and professional level, you will have no problem using this guide." |
"This is an excellent book to have if you don't have access to those expensive baseball clinics." |
"My son who is a college pitcher has a copy of TUFFCUFF and thinks the material is very good. It's not cheap, but when you compare it with the cost of even one pitching lesson, we thought it was a very good value. I guess I could put it this way: We would not be interested in selling his copy." |
Throw harder by spring
Remember this, a weight-training program is a very small part of the total picture for your success on the pitcher's mound. But if it is done right, it can be a positive factor in your future endeavors on the field. TUFFCUFF can help you gain considerable strength and flexibility. It will also show you what you need to do to throw harder — longer.
The number one thing that most pitchers are concerned with is velocity improvement. This is an area that TUFFCUFF has had excellent results with. But just as important as high velocity is endurance. Endurance is important in two areas:
- First, you need to sustain your average first inning velocity into at least the sixth or seventh inning.
- Second, you must be as strong at the end of the season as you were at the beginning of the year.
A good weight-training program will do these things, as well as helping to improve recovery time and decrease injury possibilities. It's all here for you in TUFFCUFF, laid out for you in an easy-to-follow format.

P.S. Here's a few more comments from people who've already used the program — I thought you'd be interested:
"The program is very effective — it really works the whole body and not just the "obvious" muscles like the rotator cuff. There are some great exercises in here, especially the scapular stabilization. If you are serious about conditioning your body, buy this book — no question!"
A.S., college pitcher
"I've done other pitching workouts in the past and they'll simply say, 'warm up' at the start and 'cool down' at the end, without any specifics. This plan gives you the specifics, which is great!"
Matt McKenna, Chico, CA
"The nutrition plan is easy to follow and full of good knowledge."
Dan James, Springfield, Ill.
"I feel like a totally different and better pitcher! Thanks, Steve!"
Russell Harrison, Maryland
"I like how every four to six weeks, I get to do different exercises. This keeps it fresh!"
Shaun Bradley, Naples, Fla.
"I found the manual to be very well laid out. The pictures and explanations
for each of the drills were easy to understand. I have been using the program in our winter gym sessions and the players not only show improvment but are having fun doing the drills."
Joe Wiwchar, Canada
P.P.S. I know you'll be happy with the program — and even more happy with your pitching success. I can help you get stronger, throw harder, and be more flexible, but you've got to take the first step. Click here to order your copy today!
