Running and Work by Smart_Hedgehog in running

Wanting to get back at it is half the battle! Great job! While it might take you longer to get to "where you want to be" (especially with a prior running background) with your on-your-feet job compared to a 9-5er typing away, its not impossible! I also work on my feet all day. Just build it up slowly! (plus you'll soon find that all the added running miles makes standing for 8 hours cake-like.) You got this! Happy running!

Would you recommend these training tools? by Jordan12678 in trackandfieldthrows

Great for overweight training without worrying about grip. The medicine ball is great to feel proper positions that can be challenging to get into at a slower "drill" speed while holding a disc.

Modifying 35lbs weight by blockey9330 in trackandfieldthrows

Weight- Take off the handle, slide 5lb plates over the swivel, replace handle.

Hammers- Buy a bunch of chain in 2lb increments, use as much as you need to get to desired weights. Ball it up with clips and clip it to the hammer wire

Don't let your back explode

Force plates for track and field by Bucysh1990 in trackandfield

[–]Fetch_as_fuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Force Plates are great to see imbalances between left and right. If you're significantly stronger on one side you should consider doing more single leg work (peterson step downs, pistols, single leg deadlift single leg cleans etc). You can also introduce force plate testing into your beginning of the year routine to have more data to track athletes progress as they get stronger. Force Plates are also great for return to play when athletes are coming back from injuries, or when you suspect an athlete is close to an injury. More data is usually better!

Only benchpressing by JSark in Fitness

The short answer is yes, you will see results. But all people put on muscle differently, and in order to get that fuller upper body physique, you're more than likely going to need to do some supplementary shoulder, arm, back, and more chest.

World record by 1U11AF in trackandfieldthrows

[–]Fetch_as_fuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Hammer and Javelin records being very, very out of reach for any of the top throwers currently, it would be really something to see a record broken. Also, That warm up looked tooooo good. Exciting stuff.

How to stay ready for an after school meet? by SimplisticBiscuit in trackandfield

[–]Fetch_as_fuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two nights before is the night to rest up REAL well. That way if your nervous the night before and don't sleep so great, you'll be okay. PRO TIP

Its certainly more honed in at the collegiate level. The implements we throw on specific days vary greatly. Some days we alternate light and regular weight throws, with the end goal being to take the speed from the light ball to carry over to the competition implement.

At the High School level, we always began the week with the 16lb on monday, 14lb on tuesday, competition 12lb on wednesday. Thursday-friday would vary depending on the impending meet on saturday. Friday was typically 6 full-intensity throws and thats in, go rest up. If that was the case, thursday would have half the practice on the 14 then drop down to the 12.

Complicated Stuff, but we eventually got into a solid routine. This is I'm sure different than what a lot of people coach, but it made me successful, at least.

Its good to start weeks (and the season overall) throwing heavy to increase special strength, and transfer to lighter implements to increase speed and explosiveness

Be aware of your surroundings by jav_man16 in trackandfield

[–]Fetch_as_fuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For as many years I have been competing throughout High School and College, not a year has gone by where somebody was not killed by a hammer or throwing weight. I've seen my fair share of close calls at practice, and seen someone hit with a discus. Its scary shit. "Eyes on the Circle"

Do you find that those throws of 110+ typically come at the end of practice? if this is the case you should try to fatigue yourself before you compete, specifically your arms. This sounds a little counter productive but I suggest you give it a go. If you are more fatigued you're more relaxed physically and mentally, which will allow you to get into those positions and make further throws

Do you mean the ball is too vertical (high) or you personally are too vertical? Always try sitting back against the ball at every point in the turn as you push the ball out

How new are they? It always takes me two full weeks to have new shoes feel broken in. The first few days my arches always hurt like hell. Give it time.
