gaining weight to throw better

I am 5'7 235lbs and not very fat . I gained about 10lbs from last year . When I can hit my power position correctly I can yank the 56wfd on average 4ft further .Thats not huge but still better . I have noticed although the weight feels better in my hand I am having trouble getting into the correct positions . This may be due to being slower . This new weight has helped me set prs in the weight room on the explosive lifts and others. But...I am still trying to get it to translate . I loved what was said bout ko. So theres power in the bubba but ! Theres hope for me yet . Craig , you said at one time you threw w/ a weight of 210 ! Thats so hard to imagine . I am sure that was a long time ago . But, do you remember your distances at those lower weights. I would love to know . I don't believe I am going to try to gain anymore . Hopefully learn to utilize what i have more effeciently .

@ this weight how long had you been competing ?

What were some of your lifting numbers at 235?  I assume this was back in 2003?  What did you weigh during the 2004 season, and what were some of your lifting numbers at that time?
