Rajbeer Singh who made his presence on
small screen with the reality show Lux Perfect Bride is soon going to be seen
in the upcoming fantasy show The Adventures of Hatim on Life OK.
TellyBuzz got in touch with handsome Rajbeer to know more about the show and he says, "I always wanted to do films and I was waiting for quite some time to get some opportunity but when I got this opportunity of playing the role of Hatim and there was no second thought on it. I am glad to bag a role of Hatim and to work under such talented people who have made a television show like Devon Ke Dev. Mahadev which is a milestone."
Rajbeer is very excited about his upcoming show as he shares, "Hatim is a larger than life project and it's bigger and better than their earlier project of Devon Ke Dev. Mahadev. I feel very lucky to be finalized for such a big show and it's prestigious to be a part of it."
When we asked the handsome hunk that is there any pressure on him about his new show due to Devon Ke Dev. Mahadev doing so well, he says, "I never compare anything in my life. I believe the hard work always makes you succeed in life. I along with my entire team are giving 100% to our new show and I am expecting it to do well."
We wish Rajbeer and his entire time with loads of luck for the new show The adventures of Hatim!

Dear Readers,
Not once I saw this guy smiling in the promos. He looks agressive. But hatim is the contrary. He is calm composed poised and golden hearted with all boyish charm but manly principles. He is not about six pack abs. And sagar arts never made him shirtlessfor trps. Story is the ultimate hero and so are characterizations. Not the ao called agressive shirtless beefed up hero.
This show might end up being good but this will never reach the level the old Hatim reached. The old one was a masterpiece and no one else can portray Hatim as good as Rahil Azam. When people mention Hatim, I can only think of Rahil Azam. I have a lot of good childhood memories with that show.

This guy looks like a beefed up hulk :/ although I loved him and priyanka in PB! Looks like this hatim is abt masochistic power !
Rahil will remain Hatim for me :) Hatim was not about muscles and power but charm, cuteness, and a golden heart which had hobo and jasmine in it ! Dawww ! Best show from Sagars after PRC for me !
Miss you Rahil ! All the best Nikhil Sinha's team ! Hope this Hatim makes a place too ! :)
I hear Hatim and I think Rahil Azam...he is hatim for me, forever!!
That image of Rahil as Hatim will forver be stuck in my mind. I loved that show as a child. Thus,for the love of that show(the sagars have given me so many shows i have loved!),i shall watch this version of hatim too. And Nikhil has doen a fab job with DKDM,hopefully this wil be good too.
Only Rahil can be our Hatim!
He was awesome! :)
Have so many childhood memories of it! I have his music in my phone.. :D
This guy looks weird :/
Edited on:18 December 2013 at 11:28am
I have such fond memories of Rahil's Hatim He had put his soul and heart into it The BGM was so soothing! It was such a beautiful show...such a delightful journey Kiku Pooja Tom Nirmal...it was an amazing teamwork...the effects...sets...dialogues...wow! Its an integral part of my childhood.. I still remember those seven questions
The show that made me fall badly for Rahil
Miss you Rahil
Anyways! All the best Rajbeer...adored you and your mum in Lux's perfect bride!
Ohhh pllzz don't spoil our rahil as hatim memory with this idiot. He never be hatim. Kaha rahil or kaha yeh.
I like Rail Azam as Hatim, i think no one can match the way he played Hatim.
I liked Rahil Azam as Hatim!!!!

VIENNA, Va., November 21, 2013 — The Greencards claim to hail from Austin, Texas. This is true in the sense it's where this band formed. But it's slightly misleading when describing the band's actual origins. They're much more widely traveled than the average U.S. band, as their two most prominent members—vocalist and bass player Carol Young and mandolin player Kym Warner—are both Australians. That seasoned their recent show at Jammin' Java with an international flair despite their distinctly American brand of music.
Given their real roots, the fact that the Greencards perform bluegrass is especially intriguing. Once consigned to the most niche of niche genres with deep origins in the hills and mountains of West Virginia, southern Virginia and Kentucky, bluegrass quietly but quickly is becoming a more pervasive genre, particularly as it attaches itself to the younger generation. The fact that its appeal has traveled as far as Australia, at least modestly, is a sign of how much this genre has grown in breadth and appeal.
Band member Carol Young began her career as a country singer, which, at the time, was nearly as rare in Australia as bluegrass. Kym Warner was himself an aspiring bluegrass musician, which would be considered odd if he hadn't picked that up from his dad.
Both Young and Warner accumulated awards for their craft – Young for her singing and Warner for his mandolin skills. Wisely, they decided to take their mutual appreciation of bluegrass to greener pastures in the States, where they soon met English fiddle player Eamon McLoughlin (who has since left the band).
This gives the band's name, "The Greencards," a peculiar resonance, in spite of the fact that two of their band members are now Yanks. But the heart of the band still remains with Young and Warner and their Australian roots. It's not that this duo gives a completely new spin on bluegrass, or rather "progressive bluegrass." But it does give them a slightly different look and feel that gave their live performance both charm and appeal.
On stage, The Greencards' performance had an easygoing, effortless feel. In many ways, that's actually a staple of bluegrass, where the appearance of a homespun group of musicians is essential, creating a loose, almost impromptu feel to each live performance. That said, The Greencards interpret this somewhat differently, as they seem totally unencumbered by outward tradition while their music remains firmly rooted within it.

That's not to say they never venture outside of bluegrass during their set. They do incorporate the kindred and indeed ancestral spirits of Scottish and Irish folk, along with chunks of classic rock 'n' roll and folk balladry and even touches of gypsy and Latin influences. That gives them a slight jammy effect at times during their set. Their charm comes from the inclusion of these disparate styles in a way that never overtakes their essential bluegrass sound.
During their performance, it was easy to see how much Warner and Young adore the basic structure of bluegrass. But they don't have quite the pick up that a normal bluegrass band has, instead allowing each of their songs to breathe, hoping the audience notices how much they dote on each song. Young's vocals are key to this approach, unusually warm for a bluegrass band. At the same time, Warner's mandolin takes a more measured approach along with Carl Miner's guitar work and Luke Bulla's fiddle playing.
Warner and Young's love for and appreciation of bluegrass come through loud and clear every moment they're up on stage. There's direct and sweet approach to the way The Greencards play that is genuinely refreshing. It's why they're able to add so many different flourishes to their sound while remaining true to not only their Australian roots but that of the bluegrass genre they've uniquely embraced as their own.

What I'm worried about though is SP's role in all this. I hope they don't monopolize it and prevent other companies from providing 50cal markers. I will never buy SP so I don't want them to ruin this fun.
SP isn't that bad.
Product wise, no. But their ethics as a company is. Paintball has grown because manufacturers have freely allowed things top be used by others. SP has "creatively" won patents on things they haven't actually created and have opened lawsuits against other companies for using these items/ideas from BEFORE the SP acquisition.
I find it a bit disconcerting that since SP has done their thing paintball has begun to grow stagnate. It's as if companies are afraid to try something new unless they have an airtight lock on a product.
Sp wasn't the first to make .50 paint but they could certainly be the only/last.

"Well, I feel that films — the film industry — has increasingly failed to reflect reality as people live it. No-one goes for a piss in Star Wars, you can watch the whole of Ghostbusters and no-one brushes their teeth, and in Lost in Translation, nothing happens. At all."You know that children's book, Everyone Poops? Well, they lied. Not everyone does. Sure, real people and animals in everyday life might, but you're not likely to see a fictional character going to the bathroom. This would detract from the plotline, and besides, nobody really wants to see that sort of thing. If something's not crucial to the story, why include it? (Sometimes, of course, it is crucial to the story, and this trope is averted. Maybe there's a Potty Emergency; maybe someone uses a bathroom break to escape custody; maybe someone suffers an Undignified Death by being killed on the toilet — or worse, killed with a toilet; or maybe there's just some good old-fashioned Toilet Humour. Or maybe it isn't crucial to the story but is included anyway.) This trope is sometimes averted without showing anything by simply having a character excusing themselves for a moment. The page lists lampshades of the phenomenon; straight examples and aversions are too many to count. Even the dead aren't immune to this trope, as evidenced in the subtrope No Dead Body Poops.

I go to it oooo a pick up truck do side mission kept the truck and now steal the cars at the lights :P so much more fun and the po po don't chase me down also it acts like a wrecking ball on turns
Resistance IS futile. [missus lent me the money to buy it last night!]
Did the Michael mission in the park last night, even got a shooting level up!
Finished the first heist but skimped a wee bit on two of the three crew members, I like how you actually notice the difference between cheap and expensive members.
Got to play as Trevor finally too.. he's interesting to say the least. Nice to see some characters from the past popping up too (or hear them/about them Chattersphere with Lazlow)
I think I'm wait for the weekend before getting the Blimp out. Got some serious exploring (and a few missions to do) first I think. I'm gonna find a tennis court tonight.
Something very wrong about having Franklin listening to Phil Collins while mowing people down on the beach
Sad panda. Not got XBox and main tv set up after move and got to pick up a 16Gb stick to be able to install STOP HAVING FUN WHEN I CAN'T!!!!
Well I have never mentioned GTA to the wife and when I got home she had a lovely present for me. While handing me the game she said' I suppose we will not see you for the next few months.
no chance, we have 3 kids already. Maybe she just doesn't want to see me for half a year.Pregnant?

Saturday sideshow: 25 things edition
Posted By Jeff Fletcher on February 14, 2009 8:00 am
A weekly look at stuff other than baseball…
You've seen that stupid Facebook game with the 25 things. I'm philosophically opposed to Facebook, because I think people waste too much time there (when they could be wasting it here). Anyway, here are 25 things you don't know about me:
- I once put liquid dishwashing soap in a dishwasher. Not a good idea. Ended up with bubbles all over the kitchen floor.
- I once wrote a story that ended up being "This week's sign of the Apocalypse…" in Sports Illustrated. It was about a high school sports league that banned postgame handshakes because of a rash of fights. The story went national and was even on the major network news. (I would link to my story, but you have to pay to read it.)
- The year after my much-hyped run to 54th place at the World Series of Poker, I busted on the sixth hand.
- I have never been to a concert.
- I have never caught a fish. (Which tells you I'm not this guy.)
- I ate baker's chocolate, thinking it would taste good. A lot of kids do this, except I did it two weeks ago.
- Until two months ago, I had never collected a paycheck in my life for anything other than being a sports writer.
- I think the Hannah Montana show is actually pretty funny. "Sweet niblets!"
- The impetus for starting this blog was that I needed a distraction after a losing streak playing online poker.
- Whenever I hear about anything happening in 1981, I immediately think: "That wasn't a full year." Same for 1994.
- I was on the same Little League team as Emmanuel Burriss' college coach.
- When I was an intern at a major metropolitan newspaper, I thought it would be really funny to put an off-color joke as a fake lead for a high-school football game story.
- I took a comedy writing class in college. In my research for a paper, I had to watch hours of Rocky and Bullwinkle, Bugs Bunny and The Simpsons.
- I hate popcorn.
- When I was about 9, I wrote a little "book" about a turtle. Now my daughter is 9, and she wrote a "book," about … a turtle. Mine grew really big and hers can run really fast.
- I have never had a pet other than a fish.
- At the 1998 All-Star Game in Colorado, I unwittingly gave away a collector's edition Beanie Baby that was selling for $700 on the street.
- I have been to every state except Alaska and Mississippi.
- I have had three separate encounters with Wayne Gretzky. When I was a kid, my family stayed at the same hotel as the Oilers in Pittsburgh and I rode in the elevator with him. Then on the night of my wedding rehearsal dinner in Los Angeles, he was in the restaurant with Brett Hull. Then there was this. Clearly, one of us is a stalker.
- I lost about 25 pounds after getting a personal trainer. Then I gained 25 pounds of muscle by using steroids. (Just kidding about the steroids part… It was flaxseed oil.)
- No one can beat me at Wii tennis.
- If I could eat only one thing the rest of my life, it would be Skyline Chili. And if I did that, the rest of my life would not be very long.
- I have never been with my son on his birthday (Feb. 23), a streak that will end this year.
- I am the world's foremost expert on making chocolate chip pancakes and microwave s'mores.
- I was personally selected to inherit $15.6 million from a prince in Nigeria. I just sent them my bank account information so they can transfer the cash. No more blogging for me when I'm rich!
On to other things:
- If you have a really messy desk, I don't think it means you are disorganized. I just think it means you are really important.
- In a few weeks I'll be driving down to Arizona, so I need a good book to get on audio for the drive. Any suggestions?
- Poker tip of the week: In no-limit games, it's easy to get hung up on the idea of playing a "speculative hand" like 9-8 suited, thinking that if you hit two pair or a straight, you'll win a bundle. However, that only works if you have enough chips and the opponent has enough chips. Otherwise you aren't going to win enough when you hit to make up for the times that you don't. For most speculative hands, you need to have about 30 times the preflop bet to give you a shot. You also have to remember that sometimes you'll hit your hand and lose, sometimes you'll hit it and not get paid off (because the opponent won't have anything). Even worse, sometimes you'll hit a draw, pay to stick around, and miss totally.

For your drive to Arizona, I'd get the book Traffic. It's really interesting about the history of traffic and road safety. Seriously. If you like Malcolm Gladwell (Tipping Point, Outliers, etc), you'll love this book. Great blog – I read every day.
Lamb by Christopher Moore. Funniest sort of historically correct book ever.
Skyline Chili? There has to be something else.
As someone who spends a horribly insane amount of time in a car (I drive a cab in SF), my recommendation would be to find a way to hook your mp3 player up to your car stereo. If you don't have the plugs already, invest 35-59 in a FM transmitter (brand of choice is called Monster) so you can play your mp3 player through your car stereo on 88.1 FM. I download most every KNBR podcast that isn't the morning show, PTI & Around the Horn from ESPN's podcenter page, and the NPR show On the Media. Throw in a few thousand music mp3 files and that's an easy to knock out 10 hour shift. Lastly see if you can find a copy of Boomsday (by christopher buckley), or if you like history check out some stuff by Harry Turtledove. He's a UCLA history professor who writes alternative history novels My favorite is Guns of the South.
#19 …I was in that elevator also! Great blog Fletch I am glad I caught up with you after all of these years.
#7 is definitely not accurate…come on now Jeff
haha, scratch that…I missed the "until two months ago" part…good job Jeff!
Good stuff. I'm with you on #5. Keep up the good work. You're on my regular lunch hour rotation with Athleticsnation and ITH now.

the unending fight to live up to my pen…
Lots of love and many thanks to those of you who voted for me as a Mountain Xpress "Best of WNC" poet for the third year. I had hoped to give each of you a kiss….but I'm afraid I don't have that much Dr. Pepper chapstick. Thank you also for voting for me as a Mountain Xpress "Best of WNC" social media personality. This is my first time being named in this category and, since I predominantly use Twitter and Facebook to make people laugh, it's an immeasurable honor, although I may ask one of my mathematically inclined followers to try to measure it anyway.
There's a bumper sticker which reads, "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."…. Well, I'm paying attention and I am absolutely, unequivocally outraged.
To those of you who are attacking people for being upset about the death of Robin Williams…. STOP.continue reading →
And now I'm going to do something which I rarely do….promote myself. Please bear with me, this is not something I do well. Sure, I'm great at letting everyone know which bands and plays to go see, and I'm almost always right when I warn people to buy tickets because a show will sell out, but I am no good at reminding people to come hear me perform.
To further illustrate my point, this is the first time I've used my website to mention one of my shows in several months, maybe a year. I have an email list to send out newsletters, but I only sent out one and it was in early 2013. Yep, the shoemaker's children have no shoes and the girl who loves to promote everyone else never says a word about her own work.continue reading →
Before I share my thoughts on Rosanne Cash's new album, The River & The Thread, let's go ahead and address the metaphorical elephant in the room. Yes, I am referring to the "clad in black, full of charm, iconic voice" known to all generations as Johnny Cash. Because yes, he is Rosanne Cash's father; however his black coattails have never carried her career. To me, the fact that they are related is almost an aside when discussing her music. An interesting association, and certainly it enabled her to gather an insider's perspective of the industry, but this is not what has made her an Americana music legend.continue reading →
Yes, this is another "completely non-standard" album review. I'm sure there won't be a shortage of actual music writers putting keyboard to screen about Steep Canyon Rangers' brand-pickin'-new album, Tell The Ones I Love. In spite of that, sometimes I am just so taken with something that I simply have to write about it. I've owned the cd for two weeks, and I'd need algebra to figure out how many people I've talked to about it in person, let alone through social media.
"If Barbie talks to an average of 20 people a day, tweets to approximately 3,000 followers, has 825 'friends' on Facebook and fell in love with an album fourteen days ago… how many superlatives has she used in the last two weeks?"continue reading →

Martins (Argentina) Andino Malbec/Bonarda
A lovely, juicy, savoury and intriguingly fruited wine from Mendoza, this is another easy choice for wine of the week. The colour is a pale to medium ruby and the warm, spicy-laden aromas give way to earthy plum and berry-scented fruit with a little tobacco note. On the palate it is full of soft, gluggable bramble fruit, little bitter cherry notes and plenty of dark, earthy, spice and cedarwood. Lovely stuff that Argentina does so well at this price level.

Why counting komodo dragons is dangerous business
ROMEO GACAD/AFP/Getty Images
A Komodo dragon searches the shore area of Komodo island for prey. They don't breathe fire but Komodo dragons -- the largest lizards in the world -- can kill a buffalo or any one of the intrepid tourists who flock to their deserted island habitats.
Komodo dragons are the largest species of lizards, and they've been known to grow up to ten feet long and weigh almost 200 pounds. If you saw the latest James Bond movie, Skyfall, you know they can be formidable predators.
Their strong jaws and venomous bite make it easy for then to take down evil henchmen, or their preferred prey, water buffalo. But it also makes counting these reptiles a rather dangerous endeavor.
Professor Tim Jessop of the University of Melbourne studies komodos.

Deportivo secures relief from financial woes
22 Jan 2013
Embattled Primera Division club Deportivo La Coruna has secured some respite from its financial troubles after a Spanish court ruled on Monday that it can have access to Eur9 million owed by broadcast partner Mediapro.
The funds had been embargoed as part of the Spanish tax authorities' clampdown on the club. However, Deportivo said in a statement: "The judge … Zulema Castro published a ruling this morning under which the embargo is lifted on Real Club Deportivo regarding the rights Mediapro was obliged to pay in January in the sum of Eur9 million plus VAT."
Deportivo this month became the latest Primera Division club to seek assistance to avoid going out of business after announcing that it had filed for bankruptcy protection. The Galician club won the Primera Division as recently as 2000, but submitted documents to the courts to request that it be permitted to re-negotiate its outstanding debts. Spanish tax agency AEAT in November moved to confiscate income from a host of Primera and Segunda Division clubs, with Deportivo reportedly having all of its revenue seized. The club was last month said to owe around Eur34 million to the tax authorities, with its total debts sitting at above Eur100 million.
Deportivo secured promotion back to the Spanish top flight last season after being relegated in 2010-11, but has struggled on its return to the Primera Division and currently sits bottom of the table.

ATTENTION Little League, High School, College and Professional Pitchers Who Want to Add 5-10mph!
The Top Pitching Velocity Program in the WORLD!
FACT: 90mph is 90mph because only a select few can consistently pitch with it. HOWEVER: You can DEVELOP this elite pitching velocity if you understand how these "natural" high velocity pitchers are doing it... to the point to where you become one of them in less than one season. This does not involve a special device, or some kind of 'miracle'...
FACT: Most pitchers understand that you MUST train harder and smarter in order to make a significant pitching velocity increase. But did you know that most baseball training programs are ineffective when it comes to enhancing performance? Sure, pitchers will feel better from these programs, but the fear of pitchers getting injured from unconventional baseball training programs is a MYTH... and read on. We'll prove it to you with testimonials!
FACT: You have been lied to if you think long tossing is the only way to improve "arm strength", or that heavy weight train or weight training in general is dangerous for the pitcher. Pitchers need smarter throwing programs that are drill based to learn better pitching mechanics and they need to develop a good base of strength and especially power in the weight room to keep themselves safe and performing at a higher level on the mound..
FACT:You cannot find this level of information in a pitching velocity System anywhere else. I have sole ownership of it, and it's only found right here, on this VERY PAGE... so keep reading...
I'm not asking you to just "buy a program". I'm asking you to read what I have to say in on this page. It affects anyone trying to pitch in this game...especially if you are trying to make it to the next and you are saying to your self, "It may just be to late for me to increase my pitching velocity" or "If I just keep playing this game I will throw 90mph one day."
Today's baseball training is ineffective... and it is KEEPING YOU from the pitching velocity you want
Are you afraid of actually working hard and SMART in this game? Do you really think playing all season long, just using weighted baseballs, doing running throws or throwing as far as you can is going to get you to 90+mph?
Think again.
Have a look at all those pitchers on your team who go to practice and run poles, throw their bullpens, and think all this with just playing a lot of baseball is going to break them out of the mid to low 80's. Then take a look at the pitchers who actually train with weights — almost always too many reps and way, WAY too much light weight training.
Now, you tell us: how many of these guys have made a 5-10mph jump in 1 off-season? I'll wager you said, "None or maybe 1," And you would be correct. Statistics reveal that only ½ of 1% of college pitchers make any significant gains in pitching velocity over a YEAR, let alone over just one off-season.
Why? Because good people just like you have been misled and lied to by pitching coaches, ex-MLB players, and infomercials. You probably believe you have to throw farther or with a heavier ball to get results, when what you REALLY need to do is THROW LESS using a very targeted method of high velocity movement and power training.
Special equipment or a "special drill" not required
I have never met a "High Velocity Pitcher" who ever bothered with ANY of these pitching devices you find online, unless they were paid to promote it.
In fact, I have never legitimately seen a commercial or advertisement for one of these pitching devices that claim to increase pitching velocity where the pitcher promoting it said he used it to go from low velocity to high velocity... especially in ONE OFF-SEAON!
How do most of them do it? Born with it or they enhanced their performance legally or illegally?
Illegally is a dead end road but legally, that's exactly how YOU will do it. Yes I have the legal proven program to significantly increase pitching velocity, I have it because I developed it for myself in my career, it is how I went from 85-94 after rotator cuff surgery and every single doctor telling me I would never pitch again...
I was 18 years old in my first college start when I tore it!. The doctor took one look at my MRI and said it doesn't look good. He said he can't promise anything but that at least after surgery, I would be able to use my arm again. Following surgery I tried everything from, hours of tubing exercises, to changing my mechanics countless times... when I finally figured it out, it didn't take a strenuous throwing program, hell my arm couldn't take the abuse anymore. It didn't take weighted balls or tons of running, it took an unconventional approach to this game that many still ignorantly believe is dangerous or ineffective.
Listen: it wasn't easy, my road back to playing the game I LOVE ... but my training program has proven everyone wrong and more important it proved everyone stupid, even myself because I avoided this kind of training my entire career, due to my coaches telling me all this conventional wisdom was the only way. Not to brag, but when I did all this research, to prove that 3X Pitching is the best approach in the game, I discovered how ground breaking my program actually was...It wasn't just a fluke that I was throwing harder than ever before and now playing professional baseball! It was the real deal!
Most Important: I learned that it wasn't just going to work for me but for everyone who uses it. Which it has!
The Secret Behind The 3X Program Is Found Within The 2 Phase Delivery
This understanding of the High Velocity Delivery is going to change how you watch pitching and even pitch ever again.
It will complete "spin your head" around the mechanics of pitching and make it not seem so complicated.
Profoundly it will show you exactly what you need to do to go from that low velocity pitcher to that high velocity pitcher in a blink of an eye!
So How Does It Work?
Warning: If you watch this video below you will never pitch the same again! Please view at your own risk and DO NOT tell your coach you saw this video.
YES, this Method Simply Works...
But 'Regular' Baseball Training will not help you learn it!
3X Pitching WORKS... And I'm here to tell you I've seen it all... every other program out there.
I've seen it...I've tried it...and I keep coming back to what really works. And that is 3X Pitching...birthed by the pure desire to become a high velocity pitcher and live the dream of professional baseball, and tested by hundreds of other pitchers to have the same experience as I.
It works FOR ALL. It works EVERY TIME. You just have to be willing to work yourself. There are no free rides, miracle pills, or inefficient exercises found in 3X Pitching. Why? Because none of that crap works, and you know it.
Every shady marketer and publisher wants you to believe there's some kind of shortcut to pitching velocity you desire. They're full of it. You're too smart to buy into that, right?
Now, there's good news, too: "Hard" does not mean complicated. "Hard" does not mean MANY YEARS. And "hard" does not mean dangerous.
Remember, I tore my rotator cuff before I discovered this program, so I don't believe in training stupid. I put 3X Pitching together with the high school, college and even pro pitcher in mind, and it's specifically and uniquely tailored to help you reach your top velocity as you dominate on the field, grab scouts attention, and become the pitcher you always wanted to be. Just know THIS...
A Program Like This, To Add 5-10mph or More to Your Velocity, Is Really Hard To Find
Unless you've been working with a Major League Organization as a BioMechanics Analyst, overcame rotator cuff surgery to throw almost 10mph harder and play pro baseball, certified as a USA Weightlifting Sports Performance Coach AND can develop cutting edge proprietary throwing drills, lifts and exercises to train the high velocity pitcher, you simply cannot find this specific Pitching Velocity System anywhere on the planet but on this page.
Sure, you can find similar approaches to increase pitching velocity. After all, some of these ideas were stolen from This Websitelong before any of these "new age" approaches become popular! And, if you really wanted to, you could go through the thousands of pages on this website, spend about 100 hours on my YouTube page going through my thousands of video analysis, and probably track down 80% of what I cover in The 3X Pitching Velocity Program.
You could do that...but why?
I've not only created the system FOR you. I've already put the throwing program, the strength and conditioning program, the anaerobic conditioning program, and the action steps all into one complete, simple to follow, easy to understand bundle that you can read, watch AND put into action in about 2-3 hours 5 days a week. That's it. Short, no fluff, and right to the point.
So, it's up to you: get the 3X Pitching Velocity Program that I've created for you, or start digging around and hope you figure it out in the next ten plus years like it took me.
And, not matter what you decide, you will never access all the science I have put together in our 3X Pitching Mechanics Guides (I have full access to all the medical documents in the world! Don't ask me how I got this because I may have to kill you :)), one on one time with me the coach driving your results, and all the freebies I'm about to show you without choosing to own your copy of The 3X Pitching Velocity Program.
This works for anyone, short or tall, no matter how young or how old you are
Over the past twenty years or so, I have seen one prevailing lie told over and over again...
"Pitchers have to throw a lot, throw far, and NEVER use weights to gain arm strength..." It's a crock!
ONE simple System... My System... will work for anyone at any age, without excessive throwing of any kind.
That means you can actually take an off-season, rest the arm, build up the body, train better movements without worrying about "losing arm strength" or "not throwing enough" to increase pitching velocity. I train my pitchers hard in the off-season but the one comment I get the most when training with the 3X Pitching Velocity Program is, "Wow, my arm doesn't hurt when I throw hard anymore!"
Enough Of Me Speaking... Here is What The Pitchers Are Saying Who Have Purchased the 3X Program and Broken the 90mph Range
These testimonials below only include some of those who have hit or broken through the 90mph range with the 3X Pitching Velocity Program. This doesn't include the thousands of those pitchers who have added the 5-10mph with the 3X Programs.

Now Let's Get Down And Dirty And Show Your What Is In This Revolutionary Program
The Actual Science Behind 3X Pitching
Like I said you will not find this level of information in a pitching velocity system anywhere. This is just some studies that are the backbone of the 3X Pitching Velocity Program. These scientific case studies are proof that this system is real and extremely effective when it comes to adding 5-10mph or more to your pitching velocity.
What makes the 3X Pitching Velocity Program unique is it marries the best drill based throwing program in the game with the best strength and conditioning program in the game. It is almost impossible to have a significant effect on increasing pitching velocity without using both a good pitching coach and a good strength and conditioning coach working together, like in the 3X Pitching Velocity Program. Here is the science proven how effective this approach is.

The Most Comprehensive Systematic Approach to Increase Pitching Velocity You Will Ever Find
So how does this system work, time and time again with pitchers like above? Because it does what most baseball training programs do not do. It trains all three components of the high velocity pitcher. Most baseball training programs only train one or two and usually only one better than the other. The 3X Pitching Velocity Program is the elite training program that trains all three components at the top level.
The 3 System ApproachCentral Nervous System
This is what creates our movements or our pitching mechanics. The 3X Velocity System in all levels of the 3X Pitching Velocity Program is a drill based throwing program developed to train the central nervous system to create all the pitching mechanics defined in the 3X Pitching Mechanics Guides.Muscular System
This is what puts the force behind your movements or pitching mechanics. You can have inefficient pitching mechanics but if the force isn't behind them then they may not be effective. They definitely will not produce high pitching velocity. The Fusion System in all levels of the 3X Pitching Velocity Program was designed to develop elite power to drive the high velocity pitching mechanics.Energy System
This is what allows you to consistently perform your movements over and over again. It isn't good enough to pump 90mph once or twice. The high velocity pitcher must do this hundreds of times a week. The Fusion System uses an anaerobic conditioning program in all levels of the 3X Pitching Velocity Program to fuel the energy of the high velocity pitching mechanics.
3X Pitching Velocity Program
All Levels of the off-season training, pre and in-season training programs in the 3X Velocity Program use the 3 System approach. This includes the 3X Velocity System, Fusion System and the Anaerobic Conditioning in the Fusion System. Each system also has its own system calendar to follow. It will give you the days to perform the drills, exercises or lifts along with the sets, reps and percentages.
3X Pitching Mechanics
The 3X Pitching Velocity Program has defined over 50+ pitching mechanics that drive the high velocity pitcher. No other program out their has this level of information for anyone to get their hands on.
Here is everyone of the basic and advanced 3X Pitching Velocity Mechanics that you will have full access to along with the definitions and links to the scientific research behind each component. Learning the importance of each one of these mechanics will give you an edge when working to implement these high velocity pitching mechanics into your delivery. The 3X Pitching Mechanics System is currently used by a MLB organization to evaluate players for the draft, trades and development.3X Pitching Basic 6 Mechanics

3X Velocity System
This is a list of the 3X Pitching Velocity drills that you will learn to perform in the 3X Pitching Velocity Program. Each drill comes from a specific level in the 3X Velocity System.
- 3X Before Front Foot Strike - This drill trains how the lower half must work to peak power into front foot strike so it can be used up the kinetic chain.
- 3X Drive Drills - These drills train the pitcher to more effectively use the drive leg and front leg to drive hip rotation.
- 3X Med Ball Drills - These drills are the core drills to the 3X Pitching Velocity Program which are critical to helping train how power is moved up the entire kinetic chain during the high velocity pitching delivery.
- 3X Target Throws - These drills convert the valuable motor coordination training from the 3X Med Ball Drills into the baseballs. These drills also work on the mound.
- 3X 2 Phase Drills - This drill helps the pitcher separate the phases of the pitching delivery. To learn more about the two phases watch the video at the top of the page.
- 3X Assistance Drills - These drills give the pitcher a better understanding of how fast the lower half must move to increase pitching velocity.
- 3X Sled Drills - These drills are ideal in training the pitcher how to develop elite leg power in the pitching delivery.
- 3X Torsion Throws - These drills are critical in training stability in the drive leg which supports peak timing of force production and internal rotation in the drive leg. Watch the video to learn one of the 3X Torsion Drills. LEVEL 3 DOESN'T COME WITH THE 3X EXTREME PITCHING VELOCITY PROGRAM. IT IS AN ADD-ON.
- 3X Lateral Med Throws - These drills help the pitcher progress the 3X Pitching Mechanics to the full pitching delivery.
- 3X Load Series Drills - These drills work together with the 3X Lateral Med Throws to progress the 3X Pitching Mechanics to the final stage which is the pitching delivery.
Fusion System
Yes, this is an Olympic-style strength and conditioning program for pitchers. I get a lot of CRAP for this but I don't care because it works extremely well! I don't care that the "conventional wisdom" of this game is ignorant to Olympic lifting. Like my father used to tell me when I didn't want to do something, he would say, "Well then, more for me!" More for me baseball community. I will be happy to watch and benefit from the effects of Olympic lifting on the low velocity pitcher, just like I did for myself in my career.
I personally experienced the natural alternative to steroids, OLYMPIC LIFTING, in my career. Hell, I never would have overcome career ending rotator cuff surgery at 18 years old without it. So, it is impossible to try and convince me that this style of training is "dangerous" for the pitcher. If those who believe it is "dangerous" for the pitcher then they really need to watch this video....NOW!
What Are The Olympic Lifts?
The Olympic Lifts or what the rest of the world calls weightlifting, is the Snatch and Clean and Jerk. Here is a infographic to show you the techniques behind the olympic lifts.
Why The Olympic Lifts?
Stone reports that Olympic-style weight lifting exercises (sometimes described as the Olympic-style lifts) such as the clean produce significantly greater power out- put than do traditional weight training exercises such as the squat or bench press. In fact, power output during the second pull of the power clean is approximately 5 and 18 times greater than for the squat or bench press, respectively. As a result, strength training exercises such as the clean and jerk; the snatch; and the variations such as the power clean, hang clean, power pull, push press, and power shrug deserve consideration in a program designed to maximize athletic power. Stone suggests these types of exercises may have a greater transfer of training for many power sports, especially in comparison with high-force, slow-movement exercises such as the bench press and squat.
STONE, M.H. Literature review. Explosive exercises and training. NSCA J.15(3):7–15. 1993.
Because of the potential of these lifts to produce high-power outputs and their movement- and velocity- specificities to many sport activities (e.g., jumping, running, throwing), Olympic-style lifts are considered as some of the best training exercises to maximize dynamic athletic performance.

Who Uses The Olympic Lifts?
Many organizations and players use the Olympic Lifts. Here are some of the more popular teams and players using the lifts.
Baltimore Orioles Olympic Lifting Facility
The Baltimore Orioles are big believers in the power of olympic lifting. It is now becoming a part of the culture in this organization which is promoting some of the biggest lifters in the game like Chris Davis and Dylan Bundy.
"It's a shift in culture, from what I understand. Every single person we've talked to said they've never had a better strength-and-conditioning program than this." said Paul Cater, one of four strength-and-conditioning coaches -- overseen by vice president of baseball operations Brady Anderson -- who is working with the Orioles in Major League Spring Training
Texas Rangers Olympic Lifting Coach
The Texas Rangers are also big believers in the power of olympic lifting. Here is a video of their strength and conditioning coach Jose Vazquez instructing the proper technique of the Hang Clean.
"The Hang Clean is a very popular lift among all sports. Any kind of sport that requires explosiveness usual does the Hang Clean" said Jose Vazquez, Texas Rangers Strength and Conditioning Coach
Cal State Fullerton Olympic Lifting Coach
Cal State Fullerton Baseball Team are also big believers in the power of olympic lifting. Here is a video of their strength and conditioning coach Greg Vandermade describing why and how they perform the olympic lifts for their baseball players. He also talks about the importance of triple extension in the movement and how that helps the baseball player in his skill.
"The biggest benefit for the Hang Clean is it develops explosive power. You have to fire those type II fibers when you do a hang clean." said Greg Vandermade, Cal State Fullerton Strength and Conditioning Coach
Bryce Harper Washington Nationals
Bryce Harper has been using the olympic lifts to drive his career for a long time. There has even been rumors that he is doing PED's because of his high level of power on the baseball field. He continues to admit he is clean. You know you are doing something right when everyone thinks you are on drugs but you are not.
"Harper relied on an intense lifting and conditioning routine over the winter. He loves weight lifting."
"It's brutal," Soder said. "These guys work their tail off. And someone like Bryce, he's such a beast. He's doing heavy weights. … He's kind of a genetic freak. He's got man strength at 19 and 20." said James Wagner, Washington Post
That hard work began with body-weight exercises. "I was probably 12 or 13 when I started doing pushups, situps, dips," says Harper. From there he graduated to conventional lifting, focusing on basic, heavy lifts, such as squats and power cleans. said by Lou Schuler, Men's Health Magazine
Beiting started in baseball in 2004 and said in the last 10 years attitudes about weight lifting have definitely changed.
"Guys really like to lift weights with a little more intensity and be more aggressive than they have in the past," Beiting said. "A lot of it has to do with the thought process in baseball that has continued to evolve with training and strength conditioning in general."Anna McDonald, ESPN
Why The Fusion System is Better Their Your Teams Strength Program?
What Top Level Teams Have Used The 3X Program?
- Tampa Rays
- University of Georgia
- Texas A&M
- Central Arkansas
- Many D2,D3's and NAIA Teams
So, let's recap what we've learned so far:
- The most effective way to learn high velocity pitching mechanics is with the 2 Phase approach, using science driven pitching mechanics. NOT more throwing...NOT more running...and NOT with weighted baseballs...
- The mistake you absolute MUST AVOID is to use a program that only trains one part of the anatomy of the high velocity pitcher. Even a two part system isn't enough. You need the three part system that trains each component at the TOP level!
- The solution is found in a drill based throwing program to train the high velocity mechanics and also using an Olympic-style strength and conditioning program to develop the elite power of the high velocity pitcher.
- The results should come in 1 off-season...and now, YOU can have the 3X Pitching Velocity Program that I've had the good fortune to develop for a pitcher in need like you!
WARNING: This is definitely not for everyone
There are some pitchers I simply do not want to give a copy of the 3X Programs to... and I mean NO offense, but I just don't want you to waste your time and money. Fair?
The 3X Pitching Velocity Program
Is WRONG For You IF:
- You think "effective" means "no hard work". Dream on. Doing something only a select few people can do requires hard work. I've just made it possible for your hard work to help you reach your pitching velocity goals because most young pitchers who work hard still never achieve these goals.
- You don't want to change your pitching mechanics. I cover some critical pitching components science proves correlate to high ball speed that you will need to implement to see results. These are essential, especially if you want to add the 5-10mph or more. Nothing radical, but still...you will not be using the same poor stride, with the same overused upper body to throw 90mph when it happens on this program.
- You refuse to do any olympic-style training. I wish this was easy, but you will never move like a high 90's guy with a 22 inch vertical jump, or a 135lb power clean max unless you have some ridiculous genetics. You will STILL need to use these elite power lifts: I will tell you how to perform them correctly, better yet, I will even recommend you come to a 3X Velocity Camp to take them up a notch (not required, but I prefer it.) or I will even send you to a USAW Certified coach in your local area to teach you proper technique.
- You think, "I'm too old to do this." Listen: you are NOT too old. Period! I've seen tons of pitchers in there 40s kicking butt on this System, so get that out of your head!
- Or, you are just one of those folks who will buy the program and then let it sit on your computer and never read it. Please, don't waste your money if that's the case. However, if that IS the case, just realize you're only going to get more and more frustrated with your pitching velocity...and perhaps even want to quit...unless you do something about your career, starting today.
Don't be fooled by how simple this System looks
E=MC2 looks simple...but it's also one of the most powerful equations in all of physics. "Simple" is almost always the best way to do anything. Speaking of Einstein, he once said, "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler."
That's what I've done for you: I've made high velocity pitching as simple as possible with the 2 phase approach.
So please: DO NOT be fooled by how simple the 3X Pitching Velocity Program looks. Once you purchase this program and download the entire bundle it will be very overwhelming. It is overwhelming because I am giving you every tool you will ever need to have success with this program but the approach is still very simple. Learn to separate the 2 phases and you will become a high velocity pitcher, guaranteed.
I wanted to make this an absolute no-brainer for anyone wanting a fresh, simple, and proven way to add 5-10mph in One off-season.
I figured I'd start at this low price and keep it there until I simply can not keep up with the volume of customer support emails (I get a lot of 'thank you!' emails and I think it's only right to answer them all.)
Plus, this is not some super-fancy program with a million-dollar publisher's ad budget. This is just a simple, comprehensive, and to-the-point e-program that will give you all the ANSWERS you will ever need to become a high velocity pitcher.
I did the hard work. I rounded up this revolutionary information from literally decades of experience, training, surgery, and from researching medical documents for hours on end.
