Full Discus Practice with 60+ Meter throwers

Thursday April 8th Discus practice with the Claudio Romero and Jordan Roach. We all had a solid day of throwing working some good positions so I figured I'd just post our entire practice.

Discus is an aesthetic appealing sport.

[@Twister-1]

Great videos. Keep up the good work! By far the best throwing videos on TH-cam.

[@tatin_k]

Always love your videos! Since I’m a fellow lefty it’s so nice to watch and compare for throwing!

Great video Jordan. Thanks!

[@benjaminhunt5124]

Jordan, you are getting that heel down on the block. That is going to make a huge difference.

[@francoisduguay1361]

Watching this sure made me want to go dust off my discus and go out for some throws.

[@Suman-k6r]

Question, the training implement that’s a small metal ball on metal chain and handle, could you do a short video to explain what it is, uses, drills? I have one but not sure how best to use it.

Throwing hand or in the middle of the circle

Man bun dude is a beast

[@hansrommelcaminongparekoy9400]

What is the best hight for the discus thrower?

[@SteveisTall]

Great vid. Do you happen to train near any seated throwers? I'd love to hear your, and their, insights.

[@laurentduthoo]

Hi Jordan, I see you have a DNS for the last meet. I hope you’re okay 👍. YBT

[@laurentduthoo]

Question: what is the factor that has made you progress so much these last months. YBF (your Belgian fan)

[@jrk7811]

I seen in one of your videos you mentioned the discus feels heavy when your arm is fully extended. Have you tried deep push-ups and deep push-up ISOs?

[@sach.in777]

Give us videos for rotational shot put step by step

[@dlai5702]

Do you still throw shot now ?

[@carterallen6897]

Any tips for throwers who throw farther in warmups than in competition. I’m hitting around 180 in warmups but around 150-160 in actually comp

[@LifeofJY]

Yeah I’ve got quite a few things for that. I may just make a whole video on it for my next video or the following one because I’ve got another idea brewing already. But for now a couple big things are focusing on technique in warmups and throwing easy so you don’t see big throws too early and start rushing and messing up the technique. Then maybe understanding that your best full throws are early in competition so you just want one or 2 easy warmups then save the big ones for competition. Got a bunch more ideas on it but I’ll save them for a video

[@carterallen6897]

@@LifeofJY appreciate the feedback! Thank you.

[@gardensattirnanog3001]

Another question. Can you video on how to build the wooden indoor throwing platforms like in this video?th-cam.com/video/WQ8FDgxhQAk/w-d-xo.html I get the idea but what are they painted with? Anything special? I assume smooth plywood? On the type that doesn’t have full ring, how/what is used for rim edge?

[@haydenbullock1813]

how far do your fulls go in practice vs meets?

[@LifeofJY]

In the past I’ve picked up like 5 meters from competition compared to my practice. This year May be different but it’s too early to say.

[@youcontrolfreakssuckit3784]

Why do you start your stance at one width and then let your foot slide away from that width to allow for your rotation to occur on the outside of your right foot vs the inside of your right big toe? The other 2 throwers explode off the left (cause they are right handed ) but have that foot turned for command of attacking the middle.
