Bowman Discus 2008 Off-Season Training

This is a video that I produced that shows both my 2008 season, and my 2008 fall training. This video shows the next step in my training for the opportunity to compete in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. I hope you enjoy.

I threw 135' with the 1.6 kilo discus when I was 15 and when I was a senior in high school I threw the discus 166' with the 1.6 kilo discus

wow you improved a huge bunch moving up to the 2k, was that off of strength or technique?

[johnbowman70]

I gained 45 pounds in college and I have improved my technique 10 fold!!!

You are probably one of my biggest inspirations to give discus as much effort as I shot put. Your awesome.

When your doing weight training What do you mostly focus on?

Chest and shoulders?

Im having troubles pulling through at the end of my throw, do you have any pointers?

and lastly what are some drills to work on technique?

Thanks so much
