It's all here:
Ruin the shoelace.
The get up teaching...the whole bit.
And, to remind everyone:
Turkish Get Up Progression:
Roll to side (I call this "Cuddle") (Be sure when on your back put your right ear to the ground at least once and your left ear to the ground at least once)
Up to elbow (Raise your "straight leg" up and down a few times)
Up to post (I call this the "T Position" like I use in explaining the discus) (I also look back and forth at both hands a few times, too) (Do the leg raises, too)
To high hips (The Key. Hold the Hips High for a while and keep stretching the "Four Knots")
Rarely do we finish the exercise for throwers...but, here you go:
To kneel
To stand and then back down.
The "Four Knots:" Right shoulder, left shoulder, right hip, left hip.
They are also the Fence Posts that hold the "chain link" fence (the core, but I loath that term)

The Hips High Position in Throwing.
07-19-09 02:02 AM - Post#567269
Dan, if u ever wanted to get a suggestion for an article its here.
Can u share any info on this?!!?!
My problem is I have trouble finishing the throw here. Once I turn my right leg in to bring fourth the hips I try to push off with that leg and once I feel the weight transfer I throw.
Discus/Hammer
Goals:
SQ:450, BP:350, CL:300
Discus: 180+, Hammer: 200+

The head position is a great cue. I have a habit of pulling my head hard to the right, whick keeps the left bent too long. The hips up from the TGU is helping with muscle memory at the end of the throw.

moofs, I can't get a handle on the question.
the only thing I can tell you is to throw (a lot) with soft legs, don't straighten them at all. Just feel the hips lead and release. Get a can out there and aim for it and don't go for max. Easy soft leg throws.
You can't train technique with max intensity very often (maybe ever?)...
Try the soft legs training.

I need to do more of this.
Didn't throw as well as I expected today.

Can anyone point me to some videos of the thrower in the picture above? Still pictures are great but I seem to be able to learn even more from video or a series of stop action pics. Thanks

Thanks for edit in the original post Dan. I'm feelin' the love.

Thanks Dan. I'm trying to get a collection of videos of the better lady throwers to show my junior high and HS girl throwers - they keep saying - "but he's a guy - he's bigger, or stronger, or whatever". Hopefully showing them some video - especially of girls with good technique and big throws will help them realize whats possible for them.

Any recommendations of a good TGU video on youtube?
I've tried it once, and sadly, got confused as hell.

Buy "Kalos Stenos." Sometimes for free you get less than you paid for it.

Ah, another item on the "things to buy" list.
Might not purchase it any time soon, but sometime in the future for sure.

When I played back her throws in slo mo, I was amazed at her right foot in the centre when she lands. Text book.
