Javelin training November 2008

[USMJavelin2012]

The runs on the boxes look interesting. Can you explain to me what exactly you are trying to work on by doing them?

[MrJuha82]

Sport is important to me, great to see guys training hard.

[Chasuisse]

Great!!!

[cambjay007]

when benching dont bounce the weight off your chest! all the movments are to quick slow them down trust me

[pattonaj]

what's the purpose of the runway work with the boxes near the beginning of the video?

[Darklight854]

@pattonaj It's practicing for the Penultimate. It's the final crossover leg stepping motion when you're gonna plant and throw the javelin.

You squat is good

[Depojmd]

hey just a suggestion, but when you squat make your feet parallel to each other. your putting a lot of stress onto your groin muscles if you don't.

[c2takacs]

that's actually a poor suggestion, you can squat more weight with you legs farther apart and feet pointed outward slightly, thus increasing the load on your muscles and resulting in better strength increase

[Depojmd]

Hey great video, I learned a couple great jav workouts from this. I'm a first time jav thrower and in my first meet ever in highschool, i threw a 168ft 3in with the rubber tip. I've only been throwing for 3 weeks, so I'm still a rookie with the technique. Do you have any pointers you could give me.

[llennroy]

wer you practicing arm movement with shots? also, was that 315 on the bench?

[marinn83]

Hey Lars! I´ve been watching this video many times for technique purposes, the part with throwing balls into the net is really excellent! And now i can´t get out of my head this song you´ve used here. If you don´t mind i´d like to know what it is :)

[coreys28]

nice video, keep up the good work.

How heavy are the balls you are throwing into the net?

Also, how did you get your bench press so high, thats real good for a jav thrower?

[spydkast]

hey. The balls are 800gr javelinsballs. what do you mean by "bench press that high"?

best Lars

[coreys28]

meaning your strength for that lift is very good. In your video it shows you repping out 315 pretty easily

[spydkast]

no no:-)!! I am not that strong - the video shows me benching 200:-)

[coreys28]

oh my bad, I thought those bumper plates were all 45lbs totalling 315

[WilliamsBrianL]

Nice video Lars! I really like the footwork over the little boxes

[spydkast]

Thanks:-)

[manoshulk]
