@guitar69legend Really? It does look like him I checked his videos before I guess he has a unique finish at the end. Its hard to tell I only seen him throw with sweats. Thanks guys for the info.

Jarred Rome seriously needs to sprint arcossed the ring and actucally use his legs more instead of his upper body. If he did that he would be so good.
Awesome MAN this has actually helped me get better at throwing no Joke!! i went from 130's to now 140+ I'm going for our School Record of 155.8 I'll get it with this!!! thanks for the video
@NoobsSuckx7 For your weight, its decent. But for your age, its bad. I'm a freshman in high school. I've been throwing for a little over 3 weeks, so far my farthest throw is 123 feet 7 inches. Not trying to diss you, but how is your form looking?
@firemakinjoe my over all form is good but for some reason when i release discus it comes out wobbly. I have a good grip, but i dont understand whats making it come out wrong. any tips?
@NoobsSuckx7 lots and lots and lots of disc flips and just working on spinning that disc and rolling it on the ground like a bowling ball is a good drill also, work on it everyday and your rotation of the disc will keep getting better the more you do it
@NoobsSuckx7 Make sure that your wrist is straight. And don't have too strong of a grip, a trick that my coach had me do was to roll the discus like a bowling ball, it helps with the release and the spin. Try to find a video on youtube, I've seen them before. Make sure the disc is only on the fingertips. From what you said before, to let you know where you stand in your distance, the winning throw from a JV meet was about 158 feet.
I am looking at christians school called Indiana wesleyan, anderson university, and St. Francis. And depending on how this season goes, i might have a shot throwing in the big ten and Indiana university.
@geoffgetts200 Good luck this season bro, I hope it works out for you. I'm from Indiana and throw unattached now, but IWU is a really good school, I know Bowman was a beast....but good luck man.
@supershow87 You should throw unattached at iwu on the 12 of feb. because im going to that meet!! I will also be training with bowman sometime that weekend! did you throw in college?
I have a question that no one may answer, but what the heck. What exercise or exercises do you find most useful for increasing FLEXIBILITY (whip) in the final delivery?
I learned this a John Powell's Throwing camp. It gets your body used to the fast, whip. Using something heavier is also good, but for different things. At least thats what I learned at camp.
I'm currenlty throwing at North Georgia. It's a small senior military college in the mountains. I'm a senior and have only been throwing for two years in college, so I still have two years of eligibility left, so I'm trying to get into grad school and still throw, I'm looking at Northern Arizona or VT. Track is fairly new to the peachbelt. In high school my best was 167, but in practice I had some around 180, but never in a meet.
Oh, I'm also going to be doing the shot and the javelin this season. My father threw the discus at UCLA when Barnes was around, so he got me into it. Where you looking at applying to college at?
Thats awesome!! I am a high school senior and last year I threw exactly a 167 too!! thats funny! I am probably going to throw at a christian school in indiana next year, but i can not wait to throw in college!! im so pumped!
lol, I stand with an olympic bar on my shoulders, behind my neck, and twist left to right, right to left several time. Add some weight, but not too much because you can hurt urself.
Thanks. As an older thrower (late 50s) who is still throwing reasonably well for an old guy (41 meters) I am finding that my stiffness is hurting me the most. It does seem to me that the elites have much more flexibility and whip -- I have all the power and speed I need.
wow that's not bad. Are you still using a 2k discus. I thought maybe for that age group the weight decreases, but still 41 isn't bad at all. I'm recovering from an injury and that's what I'm currently throwing around, but yeah, the twist motion is great, but I don't put more than 25 pounds weights on and I rotate slowly! Best of luck to you.
I'm 5th US and 24th World in my age group (55-59). But it's only a 1.5k discus (slightly smaller but goes just about as far as a HS disc). Congrats on your 167+ after only two years of collegiate competition; that's great.
oh no, I threw 167 in high school. My best in college is 151 ft. And you may have gone against my father. He was also on the rowing team. That's pretty awesome that your ranked nationally. I admire your passion for the sport. I hope I still have it in me when I reach that age! Too awesome!
@darnoc698 Ian is not 300 or 6'4" he went to the same high school i just graduated from and he coached me at some clinics (really cool guy) and is about 260 and 6'2" maybe 6'3"
@afunk93 I've stood next to him and seen him next to my brother who is trying to throw discus at an elite level (my brother is 6'4"). He's marginally (an inch, tops) taller than me (I'm 6 feet), and tiny next to my brother. Not tall, but very strong, so he looks larger.
@EndlersaurusRex I agree with you seen him before. Do you by chance know who is the guy from 0:09 -0:18 sec is? I have been trying to find out what his name is and see more videos of him?
Does anyone know who the guy from 0:09-0:18 sec is? I have been trying to find out his name and look at some mroe videos of him.
