I started last year and taught myself to spin but my spin is feet not off the ground and it was grinding into the ground I can reach about 28m last year in 2kg but now with this video just three days I got 39m thanks so much

I’m on my senior year in high school, my power throw is 140ft and I pretty much got it down, I’m having a lot of trouble spinning, I’m going to continue practicing and this vid helped a lot, do you think I would be able to master it in time to throw 150+ feet?

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Yes, I believe you can throw 150 this year! You can do it!

[@raunaksingh9208]

Lemao im 16 and we have to just do it better than the rest 😂idk how long prolly 20-30 ft max

[@RayMainBagpiper]

Pretty cool ! I just found a discus in the back yard of the house I just bought, it's wood with a metal rim. I figure I'll take it to a local chrome shop to have the rim polished. Will I learn to throw it ? Probably not, I'm 53 years old... Still a pretty cool thing to find though.

[@johnbowmandiscus]

What!? That is so cool! I'd like to see it 😃

[@newbloxers6493]

I started this year, I didn’t think I would do very good but I got my PR on my last throw of the season, I got 31 meters/101 6 feet

[@bigcoop3943]

Thanks for the tips. I just started discus yesterday, so im very new. Im enjoying it a lot, but no one on my team, knows how to spin. We dont have a discus coach to help. Thanks a lot for the tips and ill for sure master this technique

[@abbysampson618]

My season starts soon and this seems effective let’s hope I can pull of your technique !

[@braydendupre9799]

This really helps when I was in 7th I threw 45 ish feet I throw 85 as a 8th grader not to much but a huge improvement

[@keaganbeecher7404]

It's my first year and I'm in mod track and I throw about 40-50 so this was really helpful

[@DylanM15]

From my experience I've benefited from making that strike to the middle of a ring more of an actual sprint. Like the right knee should get up to like I'm in a sprint. My left leg spins but right when my foot is parallel to the boundary line in the back after that spin my right leg lunges forward fast to about an inch left of the center perpendicular to the right boundary line which lets me open up to release faster. We tend to reserve all the power in the back and on that turn but don't really use it and rely on the forces or a lot of beginners just trying to arm it far to launch it over the speed and power combined with the form.

[@jocelynschwartzkopf2728]

I am going into 7th grade and I'm self-taught; my PR is 12.51 meters I've been throwing for almost a year now and am trying to learn the footwork for the spin

[@pickletron2004]

SO THATS WHAT I WAS DOING WRONG OMG THANK YOU BRO I JUST GAINED 50 FEET ON MY PR 🙏🏻

[@earrapeofficial6794]

My teacher told me that she put me in this event. I have never done this sport and now i have to race with other players tomorrow. Thx u helped me alot

Thanks for the video. Watching this so I can do better in PE, lol :) Great Vid :)

[@oliviapatterson792]

As a thrower going to college and competing at college level this helps a lot. Don't want to go to their looking to dumb I've been throwing 7 years started in middle school, I wish I found this video sooner . I'm a self taught thrower thank you for this video hopefully I keep beating my PR .

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Thanks for the message Olivia! It can be tough being self taught, but in the end, you get a very good grasp on how to throw! Best wishes for your throwing!!!

John Bowman 😊 thank you my heart dropped when I threw a disc and hit this man on the spinal cord he wasn't paying attention scared me to death thank you for the reply

[@johnbowmandiscus]

[@Prsethsun]

I'm a freshman and I tend to throw 95 with a power and 110 with a spinning, but I have a lot of trouble with my arms being in the correct positioning, and I also tend to lean hard to my left when I throw, what are some ways I could fix these issues?

Awesome traning ❤❤ From India 🇮🇳

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Thanks!

[@greenthumb4994]

This really helped me at my meets thanks😁👍👍

[@GetReal505]

Would it not be advantageous to have the right foot land with the heel facing more toward the sector than it is when landing with it perpendicular to the sector? It seems as if doing so would make it easier to get the block foot/leg down quicker. If such is not the case, can you explain why it is not? Thanks!

my first year of track in 7th grade i joined track for the first time ever. Im not gonna lie espicially since it was my first year i wasnt really fast and stil isnt. Now i was just planning on running for track but it iturns out my specialty was in discus. My pr is 75'9 but in practice i throw around 80 i know this isnt alot but it managed to put 3rd in evergreen school ditrict.

Release off your index finger and throw the disc from a low point and use your free hand to "pull" down for power

How far am I supposed to throw to be the best.

[@anthonyvizcarra9225]

What kind of weight lifting exercises would you recommend to improve my throw? Or even muscles I need to work on

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Great question! Best lifts depend on your experience, but I always recommend doing power snatch/cleans, squat and bench press. 💪

[@christopherhernandez5805]

On starting the spin, I feel to much weight put on my left foot when starting to spin causing the right foot to lander further out and not in the middle which messes up my spin, any way I can fix that?

John, you explain this so lucidly. Want to try it out and look for some masters competition around my locality

[@knighted1913]

what would you suggest for someone going from shot put to discus

[@johnbowmandiscus]

A major difference between shot and discus is the feel of the discus on the hand. When you first start throwing discus, its a good idea to spend a couple practices just on the release. You can do this by throwing "easy" throws trying to get the discus to fly flat with a lot of spin. Once you figure that out it makes the rest of discus technique easier.

[@cassidydriver1560]

What discus do you suggest using?

There is not "one right diet plan" for discus throwers. But, you need to eat food that nourishes your body and gives you energy. That's all you need 👍
