With height being constant for a thrower and angle being a technique element, I would have thought that speed therefore comes from power and power from muscles, so big weights at the gym help on the muscle side of things ??
well that's the plan for my off season anyway
Naah the weight throw for masters is good fun, i wouldn't change those
we have one comp here run in Canberra each year 'Australian Masters Athletics Winter Throws' and there we even go heavier for a couple of unique events, the Super Heavyweight which are 56lb and 100lb respectively, not something to do each week but once a year is a bit of an experience
on the other impliments junior weights seem fine here in Australia, i dont think anyone is suggesting changes to Open impliments are they ?
As a Masters aged Thrower, my knees (and past injuries) dont particlurly like the glide
I've considered practicing and hopefully progressing to the Rotation, any tips ?
