Thanks for posting this Grant, appreciate your time putting this together, well done. I'm totally new to Javelin and this video is very much helping me in my journey.

[@mlayton]

Love this, very helpful to see so many of these drills done by someone who knows what they're doing

[@Grant_Rivers]

Thanks so much! The coach who put this workout together for me was also coaching a 84+ meter thrower in China. His name is David Parker on IG. Very very good at what he does. A world class coach for sure.

This video definitely helps

[@Grant_Rivers]

Thanks Diana! My coach is David Parker. He is a British man who was contracted to coach China’s best Javelin thrower Xu. Xu throws 85 meters and I do the same workouts as him. So you can trust these workouts are from an Olympic level javelin coach 😄👍🏾

Oh wow okay thank you 😄

Thanks for the helpful vid, I have a question on using lighter javelin, If the season is just starting up and I want to stay injury free, should I use lighter javelin to train with?

[@nilayghosh9936]

Sir.. I m from India.. also a Javelin thrower.. bt sir I m very much injured with my golfers elbow.. how can I remove my pain.. pls suggest me sir... Thank you 😊

[@Grant_Rivers]

Hello Nilay! Greetings from Bermuda 🇧🇲! There could be a few things going on here so I’ll make a couple recommendations. 1.) You may lack shoulder mobility and this might be adding pressure to the elbow. Try improving this. 2.) You might be throwing too often. If you are throwing 3-4 days a week, try to cut it back to 1 or twice per week. 3.) You may need to improve your throwing technique. Keep your elbow high above the ear upon release and try to keep your hand over your shoulder when you throw. 4.) You might be throwing a javelin that is too stiff. Try to throw a jav with a higher flex number. I hope this helps. 😄

Thanks!

What compression sleeves do you wear on your claves and elbow?

[@Grant_Rivers]

Just a generic one! I was only wearing it because I had elbow surgery a few months prior. I had a floating ulnar nerve which was causes irritation. I was born that way, it had nothing to do with how I was throwing or anything of that nature.

What's your pr?

[@evanmaynard9764]

I'm in 10th grade, I threw 121'11" freshmen season and looking to go D1. I'm very busy outside of throwing, do you have any pointers to manage my training and throwing time? Thank you!

If you don't have a coach that has actually thrown Javelin, try and find one(possibly go bum around a university or college and see if they have any decent throwers/coaches willing to let you observe or even give some pointers), if that's not an option find as many drills as you can, focus on small parts of the throw to master each segment of the throw in primary parts, and build dynamic(flexible and stable) and explosive strength... Javelin is _VERY_ technical, it will punish your body if you repeat mistakes long enough. When you throw, think of it like a building wave or cracking a whip; meaning that you start relaxed, move in a deliberate way with acceleration all the way through the release, to force all the speed and energy you can produce from the ground up to the tip on the javelin.... best to get a coach, especially as a young thrower to avoid bad habits and needless injuries that *will* happen(Sometimes even with a coach). KZbin has a lot of "basics of throwing Jav..." this one is really good, but there are a lot of different schools of thought, especially in America, it hasn't really shown much in the way of World Championships.... so Finish/German/Polish trained/philosophy coaches tend to be your best bet, and if you can find a Javelin clinic at a local college or university, they can usually pack a lot of tips and pointers in a day or two; but a coach would be better. Pain is always bad, you should be able to feel uncomfortable, tight, or stretched, but it shouldn't be sore, strained, or aching; your body is telling you the mechanics of your throw isn't right, and energy is trapped or stopped by or near those points; so either change the technique(most likely cause in inexperienced throwers is a breakdown or lack of proper flexion and transfer of energy) or strengthen and stretch it to make it not hurt anymore. GOOD LUCK! Be safe.
