HS Short Sprinter's Training Journal

thanks, there is really nothing special to my throws, i just do the 5 throws recommended by cf that i have seen in others’ journals, but i substitute the 3 hop throw with OHB

What is BLFT? (bi lateral forward throw?? wild guess)

haha, im just trying to picture what that kind of throw would even look like
its between legs forward throw, its seems you realized that after though

With squat throws are you throwing it vertically OH or more like a chest pass? Are all these followed by acceleration?

instead of trying to explain it verbally i just found it in a video. i do it like this guys does it in his video at :40s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNXLN_s2Ln4

I try to do med ball throws 3 times a week, 2 days are just throws and one is throws with an acceleration. when i do the med ball throws with the acceleration i would do the squat throw but instead of throwing it vertically, i would throw it more diagonally so my body after releasing it is closer to about 60 degrees and then from that angle i would start my run, if that makes sense?

It’d be good to se some numbers and distances, do you measure your throws?

i do not measure them, i do the throws on grass and the ball rolls so for now it would be very difficult and inconvenient for me to measure them. i have considered marking out like 10m, 11m, 12m etc on the grass so i could get a ballpark estimate but i havent done that yet. also i am throwing an 8lb med ball so even if i had numbers i wouldn’t have anything to compare them too since most people use a shot put like you
