May Vs August progress update

QC J1 Low Travis Scott

These are a $40 budget batch so I’m very skeptical if I should ship. The shoe as a whole seems to be lighter than what it’s supposed to be, especially the swoosh on the medial side of the right shoe. Lmk is this a lighting illusion, how it is, something to do with the suede, or possibly something different.

Where could I be losing distance at?

Besides my power pp being closed at the front, where else could I be losing some distance at? (Also if anyone has recommendations for hitting a better pp please feel free to share)

Hips

I’ve been told a lot recently about how I should lead my disc throws with my hips. I understand what it means, but I don’t know how to execute it. Don’t acknowledge my bad release on most of these throws the disc was very wet and made for a horrid release. Also my shot throws are including if you guys have any criticism on that please share. Thank you!

Tips on shotput rotation

Currently in the offseason I’m trying to focus on my shotput rotational more than my discus rotation, I feel like I have a lot of trouble staying compressed whenever I hit the middle of the ring. Like stated, I’m looking for any tips involved with the shotput rotational technique but any tips involving staying compressed are welcome.

Slick ring

Hey fellas, just wanted to see if any of you guys have better ways to deal with super slick rings. I had districts on Tuesday and I go back Saturday for shot. I saw a lot of the bigger guys even switching into basketball shoes and still slipping up in those rings. Any ideas or recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Speed

So I’ve recently been experimenting picking up speed out of the back, but when I do my form completely falls apart. Regardless of that I get more distance. I have districts coming up Tuesday so should I go for speed or continue to focus on my form for the meet. Sounds like a dumb question I know but I’m genuinely debating myself on it.

Warmups

So for your guys warmups in the discus what sequence of throws would you do? On a regular I do two stand throws focusing on my release and then two spins to get acclimated to the ring. I think what I do is perfectly fine I just want to hear what some of you more experienced throwers do so maybe I can warmup a little more efficiently.

Salts

Curious on if anyone has ripped salts prior to a throw. If anyone here has, how did it effect your throw. Did you PR? Did it actually hurt your distance? Just curious because I have a big meet tomorrow and may experiment with them.

Mental

I struggle bad with getting in my own head before I step into the ring for my throws, what are some ways you guys clear your mind in preparation for some of your top performances?
