Freaky Thrower Strength

[JaJL]

I threw in college (as I know some others here did as well) and am a bit of a throws junkie and haven't seen any threads here specific to throwing, so figured I would start one, especially with some crazy lifting videos a couple American guys have posted over the past couple days.

Ryan Crouser: olympic gold medalist and olympic record holder in the shot put with a 140k hip snatch @2.75 m/s


Curt Jensen: american shot putter and freaky strong, 790lbs x8 Hatfield Squat

Here's a washed up former thrower benching four hundred and something.

Looks like @SeanHerbison might need to defend his bounce-catch title.

Yeah, I showed that to Hanley yesterday. It's insane. My catch was heavier, but my movement was far less impressive.

Here's Cantwell.

As long as no one mentions Udo Beyer.

Oh Shit....

Here's Andreas Thorkildsen (javelin) benching 200kg at ~90kg.

I'll grant you, it's a lot of weight.

Either he has really odd pec development or he has a small trampoline inside his shirt. He appears to have combined the bench press with the hip thrust to make a great full body movement.

Still I guess he can do what he likes.

Bounce Press is a common Putter exercise...

True, but most throwers bench like that.

Dunno the reason. Proper tng bench press seems like a better way to bench, especially injury wise. Maybe throwers think full body bounce bench is better for explosivness?

And he can nearly hold an iron cross as :25. He can't hold the straddle planche though. He's so tall it would be really, really difficult.

I don't see the appeal of these manlet feats.

What the... ? Can someone explain this to me?

[ChrisMcCarthy1979]

What, the weight releasers?

I guess my super strict benching style is why I never excelled at shot put.

What, the weight releasers?

No, I get the releasers (eccentric overload) and bands (accommodating resistance), just not the combo. It struck me as being redundant. I now see that this is a fairly common setup. 'Way out of my bailiwick.

Even if it's common, that caption made me want to kill myself like halfway through.

I don't know? heavy overload that 1st eccentric to "excite" the CNS? then do successively fast reps with a lighter weight against the bands for power.
Post Activation Potentiation Training.
i.e. do something heavy that recruits a bunch of mu's, but not get tired, then quickly do something lighter ... feelz light / go balls out.

yeah, it seems he's admits experimenting / making shit up on the fly
