 Hi everybody it's Eric Johnson and in today's video we are going to be back in our driveway setting going over power position. Now in the last video we talked about discus throw and how to improve your stand throw and in today's video we're going to talk about again how to improve your stand throw for the shot. Today what we're going to do is when we talked about the discus and we set the angle we talked about setting your heel toe position starting from the right reaching to the left versus starting from here and reaching to the right and we explained why and today what we're going to do is the same thing we're going to start from the middle we're going to be able to stretch and then what we're going to do is we're going to be focusing on our shot setup and we're going to be getting over and we're going to you're going to notice how I'm pulling and I'm going to drop down into double loaded legs. Now one of the things we talk about is we're getting on top of the axis but the implement is not out here the implement is here so one of the things we're going to be focusing on is as we get over we're pulling that shot out and we're getting down here and you're going to notice how there's an angle and so this way I can turn. I'm turning on more double-loaded legs and now I'm going to be able to come up as I'm lifting as I'm delivering the shot. The key thing smaller circle implement sitting on top of us we want to be sitting over the axis the same way but we want to see more of this so we're deeper on the legs. I think that's going to be one of the key things. A couple of simple tips for improving your shot. We get a number of our athletes we see kind of struggle with this. Remember the shot carry for the rotational shot is higher on the neck because you're coming through and you're keeping here. You want that thumb down elbow up you're always here if this drops you get kind of this position you're going to lose that striking ability you're going to lose and disengage the pec. When I keep the thumb down and the elbow up I'm going to hit that pec more and that's the bigger muscle and that's going to help me strike the shot. When I do this I disengage the pec some and I'm going to start using more delt and the delt is clearly a smaller muscle we want to use that big pec muscle and we want to have the back engage. Now the other thing is is we want to make sure that we have the shot elbow behind you so you need the scap here so if you notice when I'm here if you're looking from this camera angle you shouldn't see if you're looking from this side you can kind of see where my arm is this is where you get some kids too the elbow comes forward and it drops down and then they're trying to do this and now you're right in that position we just talked about that you don't want thumb is coming up elbow is dropping and you're not getting the same type of strike and you can't get your hips usually at this point when this drops it's going to disconnect we need to be able to keep this back so it's easier to feel the right position here when we're here we're going to deliver the the intuitive response right the reaction is if I drop this I'm going to try to go because you can intuitively kind of sense I can't get much on it so you're never going to get your lower body ahead to be able to strike the shot those are a couple of your key tips and some differences so remember to focus on getting the the scap back so the elbow sits behind and you're going to notice this position right see so if I'm here notice where the elbow is avoid this avoid this don't get here up and back and that's going to be a big thing so as you set in if you're a little inflexible feel your scat pulling back in this is why you see some of the world elite guys and they're super muscular and really powerful dudes so they got big muscles and they're going to take that shot and they're going to they're going to use their other hand to kind of push it back and get it in the right position in the neck and that's what you're going to see what we would again recommend is when you're here get that shot get over get the shot out and feel yourself again on one leg so that you're going to be able to drop on the double loaded legs you're going to be able to pivot and push and drive the hip to the toeboard and that's going to feel that nice position and that carries over to your full throw and remember that's the point of a stand throw there are some things you can do it will teach you to use the legs and potentially add more distance to a stand throw but you're not using the legs the same way you are in a full throw and therefore it's going to train a different pattern and our philosophy is you want to always train the pattern that is going to carry over and translate to your full throw so that you're going to pick up more distance on your full throw and that's our goal okay guys so hopefully you enjoyed that video if you have any questions thrown below things you'd like to see hopefully and dry or enjoying our driveway drills again stay strong stay healthy and we will see you on the next video
