Single Best Lift for Throwers

I do agree to a certain point.
Not every person is suited for it.I've heard that Thomas Röhler does not do heavy lifts anymore.

How do you know that?
Do you have a link? -
do not have a link at hand, sorry...
i must have read it somewhere.Maybe @Florian van Dijck you know something about it?
-
Yes, I was also told that after switching coaches he does more general athletics and not so many heavy lifts anymore.
@Sean Denard
I think it depends on the person and one cannot 100% say it is suited for everyone. -
I like if throwers are strong.
In my opinion not the maximum weight is the most important part but rather how fast can those athletes move the bars etc. -
I totally agree with Florian.
Even if you are strong in moving bars it does not mean you are strong for example throwing the shot.
The speed is very important at this moment and if you are for example moving 300kg in bench press you would most likely not do that very quickly
