Why TUFFCUFF?
More than a workout routine, The TUFFCUFF Strength and Conditioning Manual for Baseball Pitchers is a 52-week, comprehensive program reveals the pitcher that has always been inside of you.

TUFFCUFF shows you how to develop balanced pitching fitness — strength, muscle mass, flexibility, power, and endurance — without overemphasizing or shortchanging any component. It shows you how to recover from workouts and games so you get leaner and stronger when everyone else is just getting tired. And it shows you how to eat the right foods to get the energy you need to dominate the competition.

This is how big league pitchers are now training for more strength and flexibility:

Training and nutrition plans.
Daily exercise and workout programs.
Daily menu plans and grocery lists.
Performance checklists.
Exercise technique demonstrations.
Throwing routines and bullpen plans.
Hundreds of pictures, charts and diagrams.
And more!

TUFFCUFF is like having your very own pitching coach, personal trainer, nutritionist, strength specialist, and motivator all rolled into one.

You will learn how to condition the baseball pitcher for strength, power and flexibility using flexible tubing, weight training, functional training, plyometrics, medicine ball training, neuro-muscular training, balance training, stability training, explosive training, and physio-ball training using specific schedules for off-season training, preseason training and inseason training all for increasing velocity and boosting overall performance while decreasing the risk of pitching arm injuries.

Does This Program Really Work?
Yes. Since 2007 more than 7,427 coaches and players have used the strategies and exercise programs in TUFFCUFF to get stronger and more flexible for pitching. Some pitchers have reported velocity gains of 5 to 6 mph in as little as 6 to 8 weeks.

"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."
Vic Roberts, Lincoln, Mass.

The difference between TUFFCUFF and other pitching workout programs is that TUFFCUFF actually is based on big league conditioning programs. This is how big league pitchers are now training for more power and speed while reducing the risk of pitching arm injuries.

And it covers EVERY ASPECT of year-round pitching fitness: strength, flexibility, running, throwing, nutrition and recovery. It also has separate programs for junior high, high school, college and professional pitchers. This is a book you'll refer to again and again, as you advance in baseball.

Of course, if the strategies, workouts and information in the manual are not helpful to you, you can get an immediate 100% refund by emailing info@thecompletepitcher.com.

Why Is TUFFCUFF Priced At $64.95?
Let me share with you what Julie, a baseball mom from Minnesota, says:

"TUFFCUFF is 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 it."
Julie S., Minn.

The single biggest cost of publishing a book such as TUFFCUFF is the cost of making it available exactly when people are looking for it. It's published locally— so it can ship immediately when you place your order.

Yet, you are getting 52 weeks of prime pitching workouts and throwing programs for less than the cost of one private pitching lesson with a pro instructor. And $64.95 is a fraction of what it costs even for one hour of personal training at most local gyms.

But TUFFCUFF is your personal trainer. It's all here in 188 pages and more than 509 pictures and illustrations. The manual is your step-by-step guide to better performance, improved velocity, quicker recovery, and healthier pitching.

Of course, since you don't have the advantage of picking up the book and browsing through it like you would at a bricks-and-mortar book store, we offer a 100% money back guarantee, so you're not risking buying a book that has no value to you. If TUFFCUFF isn't what you're looking for, or if it's not helpful to you, just email us at info@thecompletepitcher.com and we'll immediately refund your money.

Do You Offer Team Discounts?
Yes. If you think the pitchers on your staff might benefit from this workout plan, please email us. You must purchase four (4) or more TUFFCUFF manuals to qualify for the team discount, but many high school and college coaches have already participated in the program.

Do You Accept Purchase Orders?
Yes. If you're a junior high, high school or college coach and paying by a Purchase Order, simply send it to my address below and I will send an invoice to you or your school's treasurer or bookkeeper. Just communicate with me via email what works best for you.
