For Those Who Are Interested

I know when I was in high school, I was dying to put on muscle in the weight room and learn how to train properly and effectively, I just didn’t know where to look to find this information. For those of you ball players (and non ball players who just like to feel good and workout) out there going through this right now, here is a great site to check out with all kinds of baseball related material by one of the best professional baseball trainers around, Eric Cressey. Our very own Pacifics pitcher, the flame thrower known as Will Krasne in the real world and @Pinkpoloshorts on Twitter (I’ve been meaning to ask him where he got that Twitter name from), trains with Cressey in the off season and his fastball that can run up around 94 MPH is proof that this guy builds baseball machines for a living. (I have always wanted to have the privilege of training with Eric Cressey, so I am pretty jealous that Krasne got to and will be picking his brain constantly about it)

I’ll just leave this here… Knowledge Dropped

I am recommitting to the smaller things that I sometimes gloss over at the gym like a proper warm-up routine and some corrective exercises that I have slacked on in the past few weeks. Join me in re-committing to your training routine and continuing to grow.

Keep filling up those stands, we love winning in front of a packed house.

Cheers

Welcome To My Domain

Hello Pacifics fans, Marin Citizens, Bay Area inhabitants and baseball junkies,

Welcome to my blog! This will be a meandering, mesmerizing and maybe even exercising adventure for myself as well as you the reader. I am looking forward to bringing as many fans along with me on this ride through professional baseball by touching on all aspects of my experience here in San Rafael, from my own performance and growth, to my teammates and their personalities, to our travel experiences, to our workouts, to the local eateries that I fancy (I love good food and thankfully there seems to be an abundance of great eateries around here), and anything else that you want to know about that comes along with being a pro ball player. This is my little space to tell stories, share cool things (baseball and non baseball related), expand your world and hopefully you expand mine, to reach out, and most of all, to have fun. Just like this site would be if it were in print, I’m an open book, er..periodical, so get at me.

So lets get to know each other real quick.

Here is my short bio

Here is my personal blog that if you so choose you can visit to catch you up on my journey that got me to exactly where I am now. Briangump.blogspot.com.

Here is my Twitter page if you are a member of the “Twittersphere” and want to get REAL interactive. https://twitter.com/#!/BrianDGump

Well, now that you know a little bit about me, I look forward to meeting all of you, in the community, at the gym, or out at the ball park. Come say hi, I’m not as menacing as my fiery red hair might look, in fact I’m not menacing at all, unless I’m on the mound, then don’t talk to me because it’s business time.

Feel free to comment and tweet me, I am pretty good about getting back to YOU.

Thank you for finding my page and taking the time to look around, this might be your first time here, but hopefully if I do it right, not your last.

Cheers,

Brian Gump
