 What's up guys, it's Eric Johnson from Airtate Throws and as soon as today's video we're gonna talk about two things that are critical to increasing speed in the rotational shot put, so let's check it out. Okay guys, so today's video we're talking about two things and two big reasons why you can't create speed. One of the things that we get DM'd a lot on social media either on YouTube or on Instagram is that we get asked, how do I increase speed? What are some of the things I can do? Well, there's two things that you really have to understand is that we wanna look at the throw simple. Now remember, inside our system we use what we refer to as the throwing chain reaction system and we teach the six pillars of the throw. So what we have is our setup, which is really critical because what are we doing when we set up? We're setting up the entry. The entry is what we refer to as pillar two, setting up maximum power and pillar three, we're gonna be dropping into the throw and applying speed. Now that motion there from pillar two to three, this is a speed element. So pillar three is what we refer to in our system as dropping in and applying speed. Now how do you do that? You have to move around in axis. So the first thing we're gonna do when we set up, we set up pillar one. Pillar one is what we would call the start of the set up the chain reaction and we have five distinct goals that we're trying to do whereas a lot of people think we just go, we start the wind and we start moving. There's more to it than that and that's something we talk about in depth inside the system. But today again, what are we talking about? Speed, how do we create speed? And we're getting on balance and we're gonna be moving around in axis. This is the reason why you can't create speed in your throw. If this is off, you're wasting time. So one of the things we're gonna do is understand that when we go from pillar two to three and we move around this axis, now we're gonna be moving, this is pillar three. Once I'm in the air, that's pillar four, then this is pillar five. So this is the point of the second rotational axis. We have to point from the ankle up through here again. You're gonna notice this line and we're gonna move through. Now inside our system, we have all kinds of drills that train this motion. But if you don't understand the objective of how to get into this position or these are the positions you're trying to move through, it doesn't matter what you're trying to do. So we have, and the point of this video today is to help you understand how do we stay moving around the first axis and the second axis. So we have pillar two to three, we move in, we're here, notice the line, notice where everything's at. Now when I come into the throw, I'm gonna be setting up the second rotational axis and I'm gonna be moving through the throw so I can finish and create speed. If you're off balance, the common things are they people don't move around this axis. We have a video called The Holy Grail somewhere you can link it up here on YouTube and The Holy Grail talks about this pillar two, three entry. Now, we talk about this in great detail inside the system. Now, why is this generally pretty simple to understand versus why is it hard to execute? Because it's an unnatural movement and it takes time and you have to understand what piece of that movement you may be doing wrong. Again, that's another thing we deal with inside our throwing chain reaction system. We're gonna have a drill to pinpoint the need of the athlete. So again, for coaches out there, the point of our system and the point of what we're trying to do here is to have you understand what you need to do but how you find it, that's gonna be the key that really unlocks it because here's the main thing that needs to be done is moving around axis one, moving around axis two and staying generally pretty vertical. So how do we do that when we have all these different things? Well, when we're in the rotational shot, we're gonna be here, notice the position of the hips and the shoulders. If we take a look at any of our pros, you're gonna see that that's kind of a common thing. Whether it's Darlin Romani or Tom Walsh or Ryan Krauser or Joe Kovacs, you're gonna see that more or less everything's coming down and you're gonna see this kind of universal position where these guys are. Here, they're all long and they're all gonna be striking because they move around the entry axis and they move around the middle axis, which is the, we call it, pillar four to five, right? So if you are having problems with speed, the first thing you wanna do is look at your videos and see are you falling in? Do you see your hips falling back? Do you see the shoulders opening up? These are gonna be the telltales that you are not understanding how to move around that axis. If you'd like more information on how to get to those solutions and really dig deep to pinpoint your specific thing, check out the link in the description for the Throwing Chain Reaction System 5.0 and be sure to check our channel, subscribe and all that good stuff to see more videos and information. So we hope this helps and we will see you on the next video.
