Best Lifts for Discus Throwers

[@cammontreuil7509]

Thanks. Discus is a great sport. You are very talented. So far what you have suggested improved my 16 year old daughter by 5 feet.

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Wonderful! Glad to hear it!

[@amalkrishnan7356]

Nice video sir. I recently developed interest in discus throw. The highest on my first ever attempt was 20.32 m in school. How could i increase my strength , body mass and throwing distance?

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Regular lifting throwing will get your stronger and throwing farther. At least 2 times a week for each 👍

[@matthewgottlieb2718]

From the other videos it would also seem that snatch and push press (jerk) are very important.

Freshman, pr 91-5, bench 135, squat 225, power clean 140. Any advice? It is much appreciate.

[@grantonrigney9208]

Eat right bench and squat every other day and have good hips so yoga helps and practice slow for good form and walk through what you can improve but be sure to be fast when throwing to optimize speed and spin

Hi, What is your diet like? Like daily macros, total water and salt intake(also, what type of water and salt do u drink/eat? How much do you sleep per day? Thank you

[@Sarevok57]

im actually quite surprised that bench press actually helps, i feel that bench press helps more for pushing type movements, but hey, it looks like you know what you are doing, so i guess i will go hard with the bench as well

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Yes, the bench press is vital. Although the throw is mostly completed with the legs, hips, and torso, the stronger your bench press is the farther you'll throws 👍

[@Sarevok57]

@@johnbowmandiscus good to know :)

[@RobertSantos-rw8dy]

Thanks coach.... If only the ankles could take the stress.

[@johnbowmandiscus]

For sure, you got to focus on what you can do. ☺👍 you'll be back throwing again. I know it!👊

No wonder you had sore knees. From what I can see at least your knees went over your toes in your squats

[@apo75018]

This is perfectly ok.

[@jco1568]

There was a study done where people put their knees over their toes in squats and it actually reduced the amount of torque and stress on their hips SIGNIFICANTLY. When knees weren’t over their toes, the stress in their knees was only a little more compared to knees over toes.
