Returning to the games after about a 6 year lay off, and I only threw about a year and half the first time. Some friend who compete prompted me to come here and post some training in order to help the come back.
The last 6 years I have been basically sedentary, office job and raising babies and playing video games. I started practicing throwing again because I am tired of feeling fat, old and crippled. Today threw light weight for distance till my back said time to stop. 2 video links, all advice and criticism welcomed. I am an old jar-head so my pride can handle it :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v |

On delivery set your feet and block with your body while you arm goes up for the release. Keep your head up, chest up, and watch it fly. This will help a lot.

Some food for thought regarding your backswing, or lack thereof:

Thanks C. I will work on that, though I am not sure I can bend that way.

Toms,
You are tall, but you aren't that tall! Bring your feet closer together, and your grip looks wide too. Come to Dallas already! |

As soon as there is a weekend where no one is throwing/working AND I have disposable income I will come practice...
Sedentary for 6 years is murder. I didnt realize what a weak tub I had become... Work out partner bailed and took all the implements so I am headed out to do drills with kettleball and logs. |

Threw at scarby B class and took dfl in all events its was epic..
did get a new PR on Heavy hammer so I call it a win Today really really sore... Yoga, some stretching, then screwed a chain into a log and practiced some wfd drills in slow motion to work on the advice I got from some of the throwers there. Then used the log to work on the wob advice that B. Boswell gave me. Back is killing me though its gonna be a while before I can throw full speed...preparing for Arlington. |

I have Arlington coming up and I haven't been able to train at all...
Since scarby I have been tired, lethargic and every join I have is swollen and painful..I thought taking some time off would solve it..maybe I just have to work through it and invest in Epson salt and icy hot... |
