College Freshman in Need of Direction

#1

Hi everyone, haven’t been on this in a while. Well here’s my story:

Next week I will be off to college as a freshman. I’ve decided to not try out for the baseball team, but train and focus on my studies for a year. I know if I want to pitch next year for this team, I will have to add some velocity to my mid 70s fastball. I’m 5’8 and 155 pounds, with an average body that has fat to burn. I was considering spending time cutting fat, and then go from there to packing muscle. I own tuffcuff, but not sure if that is good for what I am trying to do. Does anybody have a program or advice I could follow? Any help or anything is greatly appreciated, thanks!

if you have a high body fat at 155lbs you have little muscle mass and shouldn’t be doing a fat loss diet. Work to clean up what you eat (think Paleo diet) and start eating more. Get on a solid lifting program for baseball like what eric cressey offers. Set up a throwing program you can follow for the fall winter and spring, 4-5 days per week. The more you commit the more results you will see. Low 80s in a year is a realistic goal for just about anyone in your position

I would focus so much on burning fat as in gain muscle. Things that build muscle will generally burn fat. Things like lifting, sprints, plyometrics.

Just my opinion though. Good Luck
