  • morons would go and think that he has bad form for bouncing it off his chest. well the fyi is that you are supposed to do that when lifting for throws. It's lifting for speed not strength

  • with that much weight a little bounce wont make much of a difference

  • Its called explosive strength, if he paused the transition to concentric contraction from eccentric contraction would be too slow and he wouldn't utilize his stretch reflex at a speed needed to be effective in the javelin throw. And I guarantee a slap from that Norwegian would make any powerlifter cry.

  • @slickdick92 It's a good thing he's one of the best Javelin throwers ever, and not a power lifter.

  • @Apjooz Your comment only displays your ignorance.

  • this guy definitely throws the javelin 90 meters so get off his nuts hes obviously doing something right

  • @jryoz

    He's lifting so damn fast! I can barely see the barbell!

  • Old man in the back is representin.. for sure!

  • im 19 and got 430 on bench last year in weight competition and in competition ur bench dont count if you bounce it they make u hold it an inch from ur chest for 2 seconds then push it up

  • @PutTheShot92 haha, without the bounce he would never gotten it up

  • Props to the old guy getting jacked in the background.

  • @telkwa I'm not saying he should pause but that was almost rib cage crushing
