@@Heidethrowz The secret is bodyweight, not even more muscle per se. I don't know of anyone who managed to significantly increase their velo in a short time period without also adding some weight to their frame.
@@Heidethrowz yah I think it's more about your weight relative to your height that matters, not weight in absolute numbers. so both short and all people benefit from more weight because you're adding torque. torque = radius (your arm length) * force (mass*acceleration) * angle of throw. you can't control the angle you throw at, cuz you have to aim in one direction, or your arm length. but you CAN add mass.
my friend went on a bulk went up a good 15-20 lbs his velo increased by 15 mph
Interesting, I've thought about that a little bit for this offseason.

@@r0nchmeister right. I'm already 210. maybe adding some more weight wouldn't hurt.
