> i am a catcher and i used to have a "cannon" so to speak behind the plate. i have been doing pushups to increase my upperbody strength but ever since i have started, my throws are getting slower and slower. I just got the jaeger bands and i am going to do that program but can someone tell me how to get my arm strength back. Thanks in advance

Pushups fatigue practically every muscle in your arms, certainly including those used in throwing, and in fact the link below shows that push ups are considered a good help to developing throwing strength. If you just started the program your arm muscles are probably still recovering. It may be best to hold off until the season ends, then begin more vigorous attempts to develop arm strength over the off-season.
