Hello Flow Masters,

In the ever-evolving world of baseball performance, one question echoes in the minds of pitchers: Should pitchers bench press? As with many aspects of training, the answer is not a straightforward yes or no. It is a nuanced exploration of movement patterns, chest musculature, and individual variability.

The Bench Press Conundrum: A Patterning Puzzle

Why the dilemma? Because bench pressing is not a universal prescription for pitchers. The suitability depends on your unique movement patterns and structural considerations. To unravel this mystery, we introduce our secret weapon—the Global Patterns Screening (GPS) tool.

Assessing the Landscape: Understanding Your Patterns

Pitching prowess isn't just about the strength of your throw; it's about the flow of your movement. Bench pressing, while a potent exercise, can become a tricky companion. For those with suboptimal movement flow, it might unwittingly solidify a 'push' pattern, potentially restricting the coveted arm external rotation.

The Global Game Changer: Mastering Movement Patterns

The key lies in the big picture—global movement patterns. If your patterns are in harmony, and your chest muscles are conducting a symphony of movement, bench pressing could seamlessly integrate into your regimen.

Pro-Tip: Navigate Your Path with Precision

Here's the pro tip: Get to know your body intimately. Understand your movement patterns. Engage in the art of self-discovery with our (GPS) tool.
