well, i tried doing it the way where you do a squat through into a pushup and then accelerate and just found it very uncomfortable so i just prefer to do a squat throw not necessarily going for distance on the throw but releasing the med ball at an angle that i can then follow up with an accel
as far as the upper weights situation i have never seen or thought of the one you proposed but i really like and i am going to give to use it now, thank you
