javelin throw practice high school training

[goldenguy12345]

The main thing is to get a fastish run up and a good movement of your hips

[7javman]

my PR at the age of 18 right now is 217. i'm throwing at the USATF championships june 23rd in Eugene OR

[MrGump17]

how far were these throws on average?

[BigG37373]

MARCCCOOO on your last throw you starting moving your arm before you planted.....rookie mistake

[willallen99]

So which do u recomend more the legend or the carbon??

[spitfireboy2349]

@willallen99 i would recommend a nemeth or ote cause i've had a lot of good times and when you actually start throwin past 70 to 80m then try lookin into a nordic

[samauripizzacats101]

@spitfireboy2349 wish this was offered in texas when i was in high school sigh

[rocketjav11]

Depends how old you are, if your younger than grade 10 you would use a 600 gram, in Ontario anyway you don't use 800g till your senior years

[MrPLOXPLOXPLOX]

what weight should my first javelin be?

5''4 115lbs STARTER

i hav never thrown a javelin but i really want to get into this sport.

[spitfireboy2349]

start with 800 grams cause it's the only one you'll ever need to throw

[Jav3001]

Starting the pull on the shaft of the spear to soon...wait till the plant hits the ground, but make sure your hips are turning some before the block hits.

[spitfireboy2349]

iight man thanks

[kristaps24]

They couldn't run any slower than that

[spitfireboy2349]

haha we know

[melisa244]

looks great!

[vl1994lv]

their techniques are good

[enachealinironman]

very very goood

[grettyb6h]

ive only been doing javelin for 6 weeks, I'm in seventh grade and I can throw 25 meters. Is that good?

[tuhottaja]

Not realy. I threw well over 30 at that time (started then and trained like few weeks, maybe 3-4). Now I'm going to upper secondary school and I can possibly throw 45-50 m. O, and I train javelin very rarely.

[Saurim0]

no. you know if your good or not stop looking for praise on youtube.

[happylaurie]

not if you've been throwing for 6 weeks.

[jryoz]

if your the second person than you have some smooth form dude. you must have a good jav coach with technique like that. the only fine tuning that i could really see was that you might want to pull the javelin through a little later in your position. it'll stretch you shoulder out more giving you arm more snap. but then again your not going 100%. maybe you do that already

[1969hotsauce]

you obviously know alot about javelin technique, I'm currently training and am desperate to improve, but having trouble with what to do to get the whipping action. My arm seems to bend way too soon and I lose all my power. Any ideas with so little info? Any drill ideas?

[jryoz]

im trying to picture wat ur throw looks like, and they way i picture it, you need to drill keeping ur arm bak. work on hitting position, and when i say that, I mean coming into the power position for throwing. if u dont know what that looks like, pause some footage of guys like patronoff or zelezny right before they pull their arms thru for the throw. they are good examples of 2 main throwing positions for jav.

[1969hotsauce]

Thnx ryoz, I think ur right. Even watching these highschool kids, after you posted, I noticed that the second guys' power position has a large base (he takes a huge step, which allows for the arc in the back. I'm going to work on that and see what happens. Thnx again!

[spitfireboy2349]

lol i'm not in highschool anymore even though this was senior year, but i won the atlantic 10 championship for TEMPLE UNIVERSITY, even though i've been injured the passed 2 seasons

[1969hotsauce]

You didn't even know it, but, your little highschool practice throwing video is helping me get better at javelin. As you can see in my previous posts, I'm not getting the whipping action right and losing power. Good to hear you've kept up with it.

[spitfireboy2349]

i'm glad to see that it's helping you! i myself need to get better... all the throws from my senior in highschool and freshman year in college was with a sprained elbow... severe inflammation, with devistating pain everytime i threw

[dominicanballer717]

dammmn that is a very good technique

[TjmcReptiles]

nice creep dip and cross

[cbouts519]

i like your boy in the background lol

[bassmaster121]

shit, i think i filmed this.

[AosIma123]

last year when i was 14, i threw 45 meters...dont know if thats good

[Th3ch0s3n0n3s]

how much is 210-10? I live in a world where the metric system is the prevalent measuring system, so I have no clue wtf that is.

[spitfireboy2349]

around 62m

[fiddlingsteve]

64.26200 meters

[fasis82]

the fat boy has very bad technic but the other person is better..

[MartinWongsax]

i want to asking something...

should the throwing arm be straight and not to "throw out the elbow"? cuz my coach told me to keep my elbow near my head during the throw and keep the arm straight.

[spitfireboy2349]

well you can't keep your arm straight for the whole throw thats obvious first you bring your elbow through and then you fallow through with the rest of your arm.

[MartinWongsax]

then where should the point which the javelin leaves my hand be?? above head? thx!!

[spitfireboy2349]

the piont should be at about a 30 degree angle where the point is right above eye level close to your face

[MartinWongsax]

thx a lot!

[santeenl]

spitfire, if you are the first one trowing on this movie, is just want to tell you that you trow it wrong , the second person does it better

[spitfireboy2349]

good thing i'm the second person lol!

[scotters72]

You guys are looking a lot better! I promise not to nitpick. . . Eric- your left arm is still all over the place. Marco- you're not staying back on it quite long enough. I'll probably see you guys sometime in the next few weeks. I am doing practices if you want to come up sometime.

[spitfireboy2349]

thanks coach scott

[meat953]

Technique looks pretty good. Just make sure to lock out that left leg. Other than that both of you are throwing through the tip so thats not an issue. Speed would benefit ya but you already know that.

[Foward66]

backjumps for you all? :o

[smattelars]

sooo bad tecnic

[spitfireboy2349]

i don't think you know what your talking about... my technique wasn't bad it just had a lack of power cause i was dead tired n'd my second one was a joke... i'm the one in the stupid looking spandex fyi

[philosof3r]

very well!
