The med ball stuff is usually…multithrows…rarely used side throws
No rotational lifts…actual throws…well…Its their job, not a supplemental lift.
Everything you steressed except med ball ( I’d say 95% front back heaves), is just a variation of competitive exercise…so…nothing fancy…rotational stuff.
ESTI,
can I take advantage of you research?
In the sense of some interesting links.
Svincenz, you can find some interesting articles on athleticscoaching.ca and on the fidal archives on CD of Atleticastudi.
Plenty of med ball work, both front and back heaves , but also overhead.( lateral rotational work usually limited)
There was some info on athletics canada somewhere, not sure where i spent so much time on it. Also read a DDR book on track and field on their training for throwing events. Along with scanning google searches for workout templates.
Thanks guys.
Or maybe it could be because some coaches don’t want to open the “vault” to others. And who knows what goes on behind closed doors.
“Every athlete and fitness junkie spends their life searching for the magic bullet in training. It’s like walking to the end of the rainbow in search of the pot of gold”.
All great athletes & coaches have there little secrets. I reckon Charlie kept some hidden.
Closed doors???Very easy to see top athletes training.—
If Usain had a gym in his home, would you see him training in his gym?.
If If,…you can see MVP members if you want., Racers akso .John smoths practice are open,…so are most …just go to jamaica or italy in summer…we were talking aout throwers…it happens to share the facilities with top athletes if you are an athlete or a coach.
I don’t believe there are training secrets…at least so far. It is interesting to see how others organize training however and there are things to be learned there it seems. But like Ato said, “everybody does overdistance, big whup.”
Usain ain’t hitting the weights in a home gym.
The only secret you may see behind closed doors is something we can’t talk about on here.
I’m wasn’t referring to weight training.
Whatever dude.
Usain is drinking guiness and playing xbox at home. Plus he’s an outlier not even close to a norm.
His secret is his natural gift. He isn’t doing some kickboxing and yoga and if he is it’s like numbertwo said it is low intensity trash work to burn calories and recover. His meat and yams is out there on that grass field and track. It’s not in the dojo or weight room.
Keep chasing that Holy Grail.
Look at every great program they all keep it simple. Even one of the more scientific guys like Pfaff when you see his workouts and progressions it is simple logical progression.
At your peril.
…
Race,
First you think soccer strength coaches need to be playing along the players in all they do to know if their program is effective, and now you think what athletes do behind closed doors in ancient martial arts techniques is the key to why the top level athletes excel??? 
What are you talking about?
Stop extrapolating nonsense.
Yeah, that was funny… 
Yup…
Then & only then will he know he has the “optimal” program.
But the “optimal” program doesn’t exist & never will, especially when we talk about a sport such as soccer, not so much for elite sprinting though.
Hopefully the S&C will have the optimal players to take advantage of his optimal physical preparation program.
Its very true, that has always been a difficult thing to deal with. One consideration between Javelen throwers and baseball pitchers is the volume of throws I suspect much higher in baseball than Javelen?
