So how is that thrower trainging going more generally? (ie, how are the athletes performance wise, what are their weaknesses etc) Getting more familiar with the throwing life? Hope your having fun... Looking forward to hearing more on this...

It helps to have someone remind you of everything that you are supposed to do. I have a checklist of things to tell Cheese...and he has one to tell me. Really helps.

This is the most useful thread I have seen for a while Bfold. After reading this I whent back and rewatched several Powerlifting videos and I realized that you're right, THEY ALL HOLD THEIR BREATHS! They might let out a little grunt but most of their air stays with them. I never would have noticed that if it where not for you, thanks.

A degree does not always equal an education.

Glad that you can help them out. I'm sure they will thank you later.

Honestly...I owe a lot of my success and knowledge to Hannibal. He spent endless hours chatting with me, talking to me, emailing me, etc...just because it MIGHT help me with my training.

Thanks for the karma man...

I've started incorporating holding my breath this week.

It really helps.

Thanks for this thread.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Strange things in the gym...

My technique is pretty similiar. I inhale before I unrack the bar, then exhale fully, take the bar off the rack and then inhale on tbe descent, sometimes hold it and dont exhale on the positive.

This sounds like what I do too...inhaling on the way down kinda creates more tension in my body...I'll have to experiment with holding my breath on the way down AND up.

B, I thinkperhaps many people (trainers, etc.) train that way because a lot of newbies do it the opposite--breathe out on the negative and breathe in on the positive. I suppose their way is better than that, but not optimal by any means.

They are also doing 1-rep max lifts. Try that with higher rep sets and you'll fatigue really quickly.
