One thing I would offer, is to be very, very, critical of any `exercise science` based papers you consume. The work is underfunded. The work is rarely done on a large enough sample size, so you are forced to rely on a meta analysis. An unforgivable amount of the literature has simple...

> Managing CNS recovery is also important for gen pop and beginners just like for advanced athletes. When you say stuff like this, its really hard to have a serious discussion. I would urge you to talk in terms of 'cumulative fatigue' . Your ability to discern CNS fatigue from PNS fatigue from...

Lol, it's all good. I get you with the not posting on forums thing, I tend to keep my lifting opinions to myself since its going to hard to sway my education, training history and training experience. Id like to now rant about talking about CNS, in an untrained population but ill acquiesce. and

Eh, I'm a manlet at 5'8", so lifting is probably just easier for me than it is other people. I have a good total until someone with an actual good total shows up. I can say, I have a touring pro friend, who I caddy for a couple stops each year, so I know atleast a chunk of Pro's on tour, and...

Thanks for the video. Great distance and its great you are training etc. I would have to disagree with most of the video though. The exercise selections and rep ranges are, not great. Rep Ranges: For the untrained, or minimally trained person, size + strength are the same thing. You may as...

About the question on how loose is someone deadlifting. I've totalled 1505 at 198 in 2 PL meets. I'm not a great puller but I've cleared 6 in both. I'm am so tight/filled with tension after pulling the slack out of the bar it would be uncomfortable to remain there. Now, if you watch John Haack...

I think GG is the best person to look at for this since he is normal sized. He is throwing super domey, `understable for him` ( think katanas, wraiths ) plastic on very high hyzerflips out to the left. Distance lines are really about having the disc be nose down, through the apex, on the...

This video always gets me. I pump the disc with my left foot. I do not think about my right foot really. Yet, my friend who has pro distance always tells me his lead foot `makes him tall` so he can `land like a pitcher on a mound` and i really hate him for having feelings I dont :( Because...

Sorry, I wasn't disagreeing, more so affirming that hip mobility/balance is probably more important than 'general strength' I think starting young and having huge hands with a positive ape index is probably your best bet :)

If squats and deadlifts helped with distance id be Eagle McMahon. My squat and pull total over 1250 and 400' takes me a distance line. I sit around 190 atm. I've also had both hips operated on for labral tears. My hip mobility is terrible. I can only pull every 2 weeks, and I have to squat...

Sidewinder, am I on the right track here?

I *think* ive started to get shifting from behind. Ive figured out, if I just stop trying.. I can get form that looks like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-ZXog4kb1U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bX86n5Alqw I can say, I can take a roc and do this, and get to 300 with 0 effort...

I have finally managed to completely lose any ability. I couldn't touch 400 feet in 3 throws at this point. And if the disc hits my left shoulder again I'm chopping it off. Still not able to figure out how to shift my weight. So everything spins and has zero power. Started over with a week of...

People also need to realize, GG wasnt throwing normal Katanas. They were insanely, domey. Like Domey to the point where you pull it out and show people `look how domey this thing is` and everyone is all like `damn thats domey` Most importantly. GG is here to make money, that guy's got child...

I have caddied for double G a few times. If you have never seen him throw in real life, its hard to process. He is an incredibly normal sized dude, with various amounts of gut over the years. He isnt lanky, he does not have large mcbeth hands. He is incredibly athletic though, dude...
