Test day 18 Dec 2008 height 1.82 weight 93kg OH shot Forwards (soccer throw) 4kg 16.55m 2kg 22.00m Backwards 4kg 20.70m 5 alternating stride jumps 14.85m Snatch 90kg Clean 110kg Front squat 140kg Predicted Javelin throw potential 71.79m Well, i've made some minor progression since last month although i haven't trained or rested well because of work and home commitments and as a result am feeling pretty banged up. Due to my new found wisdom i'm not going to respond by training twice as hard to make up for it but instead am going to take a break until the new year, and come back at it fresh.

which proves that it's not strength but transference of speed..because.. i remember slinger coming down the runway like a bullet at bedford in the U20 AAA's ( i was 9th btw)

Thats very true, and transfering off the runup is something i've never really done well atall which is almost certainly the cause of my under achievment. Its also something i'm working on very much this winter and i think i might have just technically cracked it too after getting some coaching from a fresh source. I just need to get some proper technical consistency now and hopefully start to throw the kind of distances that i know i can. I was actually there watching too as i had lobbed in the U23's although i had a proper nightmare that day, think i only produced 49m! probably my only sub 50m comp since getting out of the U17's and what a place to do it!!!

i remember you saying wez about the coaching you are getting when we last spoke and you were very upbeat about it.
i thought i'd of gone a bit further in 2000 tbh aswell than that as i never really got going as far as a season goes, as the WJ's that year were late october and my training plan was to have a first mini peak in may then back train hard and come back out ideally in september...but of course we had the AAA's and such in august and well had to compete there and do that and whilst the 1st peak worked fine - 69.76, 69.99, 70.15, 71.77 [badly] all in may the second peak didn't quite happen opened it up with 69.06, then 71.79 and after that just got tired and sore, in hindsight it'd of been better to of just gone for the first peak and opened up with the AAA's or maybe have that 2nd comp in - but then again i had to do the 69 qual. at the AAA's and to rely doing it only 2nd comp in would of been risking it a bit and also would of lacked quality comps in this country to do in sept/oct for the lead up to the WJ's......so 2000 was a season that despite threw my best it never reached it's potential at any point - frustrating really, as i had numerous people tell me 73-75 was on the cards and i certainly feel 73 at least was a possibility given that on my early 71.77 my run up on that was a poor effort.
anyway i digress from wez's training, but it's certainly a valid point that alot of people have the potential to throw much further than they ever do - i think at that given time i was closer than many get.

Hi Wez, your results for the soccer style throw are they standing throws or off strides

Hi lusis,
They are from a standing postion on the stop board of a shot circle, and as with overhead shot backwards a follow through is allowed. Most of the big guns can throw 20m with 4kg like that and high 20's with 2kg which is a step on from my level right now
