Hey there javthrower- It seems like this gentleman, as well as throwing 90m with the old javelins, being the Commonwealth record holder and given that it's Steve Backley that he's training might indicate that the knowledge is sound... I agree that the exercises would wipe out juniors and mid-grade athletes but this training is for people who are funded to get rubdowns and deep tissue massage as and when required after such hardcore training sessions as this

Sorry that is absolutely not true. This is an excellent excercise to replicate impact - as in the landing stress/force when you throw.
You need a hard surface. If you threw on sand then I would agree but you don't - well I don't and no one else I know does either.
