Spartan Race Spear Throw: The Secret To Landing It!

Spartan Race Spear Throw Tips. In this video I discuss the rope, body positioning, grip, throwing technique & the mind game that affects spear throws & turns this obstacle into such a burpee-maker!

😂 I thought I was about to see Leonidas then he lets it float. I’ll start practicing my burpees.

He needs to add a Super Mario jump sound :)))

Good job

[@spartanireland2922]

Thanks!

I hate this obstacle, because there is too much luck involved.

[@nathangallegos9304]

I was expecting a more thrusting harder throw “Give It Some Feeling” Did I expect too much?

[@ecohen2010]

Thanks for the tips. Did my first spartan race in Big Bear Lake last weekend and used your advice to hit my spear throw.

[@carlohakens3333]

Thank you so much. I watched this video last night between 12 and 1am and applied it to my race at 11am. Nailed this obstacle plus all others.

[@spartanireland2922]

That's awesome! Way to go Carlos!

[@bigchungus6164]

Do headshots count?

[@spartanireland2922]

As long as it sticks!

[@lionstartrading]

What's the distance to the target? Sorry if you mentioned it, I didn't hear...

[@spartanireland2922]

It's not uniform from event to event. It's about a 15-20 foot range.

[@lionstartrading]

@@spartanireland2922 and what about rules, do we have to stub a spear or just hit the target?

[@spartanireland2922]

@@lionstartrading Spear must stay in target & not drop out (or touch the ground) before you exit the obstacle.

I wish these training videos would tell us size and weight of the actual spear/bucket/sandbag / whatever so some could recreate it for training purposes

[@MusicalManchild77]

Nice!

[@joshbeckett9385]

I hate this one, never get it.

[@spartanireland2922]

Probably not going to love the update, either. 😉

[@firejoe283]

What is that target made of? And how long of a use is it before yall change it out?

[@grimeyhonkyracing3938]

Made from the fat of Persian buttcheeeks

[@DONCARLOIV]

thank you so much for your tips, first try nailed it, everyone was shocked even the youngins when i passed them while they did burpees

[@spartanireland2922]

That spear sticking is the BEST feeling! I think it actually makes you run faster

[@DONCARLOIV]

@@spartanireland2922 yes it did , first one at the age of 46, muscles cramped at obstacle 17, then crossed the finish line. leg muscles cramped all the way, laid there for a bit. when does the tag actually scan your finish ?
