Just wanted to highlight the achievement of my fellow Berliner, discus thrower Robert Harting.
The two-time reigning discus world champion took first place yesterday in Helsinki at the European Championships.
68.30 meters (224 feet, 1 inch) in rainy conditions.
I don’t know much about about discus throwing, but do know I know that these guys and girls do lots of squats and Olympic lifts to get explosive. That’s enough justification for posting it here.
Watch the insane power. Launching that 2kg plate into low earth orbit it seems.
If you search for discus throw training you get a lot of good exercises for rotational strength. Looks like something that would be beneficial to fighters of all sorts also.
