What exercises should I be focusing on in the weight room as a new thrower?

The big compound movements.
For more specificity, not that it's really needed without any additional background information, check out the training logs or the posts on this forum. There is more information that you can use on this board.

Try the beginner or intermediate 5x5 Billl Starr routine assume it's all over the web. Stick with it for 12 weeks. Fight the urge to start adding extra movements. Power Clean instead of Rows every other week. Bench Incline and Military ( Push ) Press as recommended. Ramp the weights at first. Core 2-3 times per week. Can't power clean hi-pull, can't hi pull, light fast deads. Again hold off on the special movements and heavy deads for awhile. I would have a squat goal of 315-405 for 5!
Good Luck ! |

thanks for the advice, I did overhead presses today 5x10, and deadlifts 5x10 with about 60% of my estimated max.

I'm going to be the grumpy old man of the group and get this in here right now:
Do this. Routinely. After comps too. Work the little stuff. Starr's 5x5 is great for the majors but seriously: put some time into high-volume bodybuilding kind of stuff (NOT heavy) after the real work is done. It's like armour for the body. |

I do the Texas method. You can Google it and download to excel, plug in your max and go. It's real easy to follow and will kick your butt.

[]Stretching
Do this. Routinely. After comps too. Agree 100%. Injuries can bother you for months or years even, so avoid injury by taking the time to warm-up and not over train (in the weight room for more than a hour, or throwing too many reps). And, a tip from several guys is squat as low as you can. |

Good advice about warming up extensively first. A very inexpensive used book from Amazon called Nolan Ryan's Pitching Bible contains many photos of stretches for the entire body. The weightlifting in the book is basic stuff. Old Nolan pitched until he was 46 yrs old and was still throwing 95 mph in the late innings.

Nope. Be warm WAY before stretching. I meant post or during for stretching. Or if you've done enough movement that things are warm and moving well already. Never stretch cold. |
