Locking the block is a MUST if want to have big throws in shot and discus. It may look slightly different in the shot put and the discus, but the concept is the same.

When it’s time to deliver, you don’t want the block side continuing to move. You want it to hit and stick. Once the block stops, the rest of the body can move around it and transfer energy into the implement.

A moving block leaks power. A firm block creates it.

If you look at the best throwers in the world, they’re all strong. That’s a given.

What separates them isn’t just how much weight they can lift. It’s their posture, core strength, mobility, explosiveness, and ability to move efficiently.

The top throwers know how to get into great positions and keep them under speed. That’s why their training isn’t just about getting stronger. It’s about strengthening the positions that make them better throwers.

There’s a difference between being weight room strong and being thrower strong.

closes out his junior season with a huge 167’ discus PR at the state meet 💥

That throw marks a 16-foot PR and puts him over 20 feet better on the season.

Elijah attended our Des Moines, Iowa throws camp last summer and has continued applying the concepts and drills from the TCR system to his training. The technical improvements have added up throughout the year, and the results showed when it mattered most.

It’s been great to watch his discus continue to develop, and this major jump during his junior season is only the beginning.

Now the focus shifts to his senior year, where even bigger throws are on the horizon. We’re excited to have him back at camp in Iowa and continue building on the progress he’s already made.

A powerful throw in shot or discus needs a powerful block 💥

When the block side locks in front of you, it allows energy to transfer through the implement and creates a bigger finish. A soft block leaks power and takes feet and meters off your throw.

The key is learning to have the block stop in front instead of pulling it back behind you.

A great example is a quarterback throwing a football. They don’t yank their non-throwing side behind them. They stop it in front so the energy can transfer cleanly through the ball.

Same concept in throwing.

Throwers may be spinning strong ballerinas but they know how to bring energy when throwing. There’s always that one athlete who’s that brings ALL the energy in and out the ring.

TAG a thrower you know who brings this type of energy😤

Weston Ott hits a new outdoor shot put PR of 66’7”(20.29)💥 It may be a small PR, but it currently ranks as the 5th best throw in the country.

Weston is continuing to dial things in as we head toward the end of his senior season, and it feels like a really big throw is coming soon.

He’s been one of our METHOD members for the last 3 years, training online with us 2–3 times a week. The consistency, structure, and long-term work are paying off at the highest level.

keeps improving 💥Before his state meet, Rowan hit another discus PR of 119’9”, officially putting him 24 feet over last year’s PR.

Then at the state meet, he PR’d again with a 122’ throw, pushing his total improvement to 25+ feet this season.

The work, consistency, and technical changes are continuing to show up in the ring. Huge year of growth for Rowan, and he’s still building as he’s competing in 1 USATF meet!

All throwers have their favorite event and the one they specialize in the most. Sometimes you avoid the event you don’t like the most but still have to train. 😅
