I love his passion, he gives his 200% in every race, real winner type though. A lot of power, speed and technique but looks like his technique is sometimes a bit weak to comparing to Cantwell etch. His explosive power is excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! best in the world IMO.
he started that in high school. The coaches tried to break him of that habit but he was throwing far so they left it alone.. Im practicing with adam tomorrow morning. He has changed the left leg a little, he keeps it lower to the ground it makes him faster. he leaves for china on sunday to get his gold medal fitted.
@Raikage100 i don't know, if the objective is to throw far arent you doing it right?. The idea of big circle little circle for conventional technique is valid and can be seen in sports like ice skating as well but adam's little circle-big circle approach put him at such a wide base that he can get more use of his lower body and much more separation than many others. I think it's a toss up.
hes actually fixing that, he realizes hes not getting the most power he can get from his legs. hes learning to keep it lower and getting it down quicker so he can utilize his left leg correctly
When I saw this video's title I was like "What the Fuck?" But then i realized that it was this guy and not me ^_^. That would be pretty cool to have a tribute video.

that's the problem with most throwing coaches in high school nowadays: they figure that if you throw far, you are doing it right :(
He does look like he's trying to fix it though :)

Adam Nelson uses a lower-body throw to get power though.
