The Athletic Republic Warm-Up Cord
Athletic Republic presents the ultimate tool to strengthen and loosen the muscles associated with throwing.
A majority of baseball and other throwing injuries occur during the deceleration phase of a throw. After the ball is released, arm deceleration forces are estimated to be twice that of acceleration forces while acting over a period of time that is twice as long. Conditioning the decelerator muscles (the Teres Minor and Infraspinatus of the rotator cuff and the Posterior head of the deltoid) should help reduce the likelihood of injuries of these muscles.
Athletic Republic's Warm-Up Cord™ is designed to train the accelerator and decelerator muscles used in throwing and are suitable for every position or any sport such as baseball, softball, football, water polo, volleyball, golf and tennis that involve a throwing or hitting motion.
Year-Round Training Solution
Athletic Republic developed the Warm-up Cord for athletes as the ultimate tool to strengthen and loosen the muscles associated with throwing. The cord has been developed for athletes of all ages, from little leaguers to the pros. There’s no reason every athlete who throws, hits or serves a ball shouldn’t have a Warm-up Cord in their bag. The cord can be attached to a cord station or even a chain link fence to help groups of throwers get ready to practice or compete.By providing resistance to both upper arm and forearm, the Warm-up Cord helps athletes:
- Reduce warm-up time
- Reinforce correct mechanics
- Strengthen critical throwing muscles
“Here at Loyola Marymount University, the Athletic Republic Warm-Up cord is an instrumental part of our pitchers' pre-throwing warm-up routine. Our pitchers enjoy a level of flexbility and looseness that is unparalleled to any other band on the market. Further, it plays an intricate role in our posterior shoulder strengthening that is vital in keeping our pitchers healthy throughout the year. I highly recommend the Warm-Up cord to any player who takes pride in the care, nurturing, and strengthening of their arm.”
- Danny Ricabal, Loyola Marymount University Pitching Coach
"We have used the throwing cord in our program for the last 10 plus years. I have found that it is the only product available that can meet the needs of our athletes. It has been pivotal in developing velocity, increasing arm strength and stabilizing the shoulder to prevent injuries. It also is an important tool for athletes that are in the rehab phase."
- Chris Conlin, University High School, Irvine Calif.
"We've used the bands now for a short period of time, and during this short time I noticed a big difference in my pitchers with how loose their muscles become. It takes less time for them to get loose, when compared to normal warm ups. The biggest difference I noticed from using this product is their ability to whip down with their arms. The new bands, when used correctly, force the individual to whip down and fully finish the pitch. I like that it's very close to game-like throwing."
– Anthony Ferro, Butte College Baseball
"I have either played or coached quarterbacks for the past 30 years and I have always been a huge fan of just working hard and throwing to get better at throwing. I have seen several gimmicks that say they'll help you throw the ball harder and farther and I have never supported any of them. With that said my own son Brock has seen amazing strides in his arm development and strength using the CORD. His arm strength has literally doubled in 5 months and his form and arm speed are clearly a direct result from using the cord on a regular basis."

"Wow! As a PGA Golf Professional that has been teaching for well over two decades, I have seen a lot of products that claim they help players. Of course very few ever reach the results that players expect.It is wonderful to find a product that produces results quickly and easily. The Athletic Republic Warm-up Cords are a product THAT WORKS! I am using the cords with players of all ability levels to increase flexibility and strength. By using the cords players are able stretch out prior to practice sessions as well as their rounds of golf. What I am most impressed with is that they are valuable for players of all ages and abilities. The Warm-up Cords are an essential tool for my students and for myself. I encourage everyone that wants to improve their enjoyment of golf to use them. Today!"
