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.
What stretches do yall do to prepare your body for throws?
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.
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.
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.
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?
