    I came across a useful calculator on the web that would estimate throwing distances e.g.

    if you throw a 600g javelin, it would project what you might throw a 800g

    Same for shot, discus, hammer etc

    And for the life of me I can't find it now

    I was going to post it here, I should have

    Just throw man. I considered giving shot put a go but just don't have the time since I'm not willing to cut back on the powerlifting.

    I'd be gym-strong but couldn't throw for sh1t. Mis-directed power all over the place. It was so frustrating feeling like I just wasn't able to transfer anything into the shot.

    It's an awesome sport. Would love to be able to commit to it but I had to make a choice.

    I had the elbow up issue as well.

    You strong guys should try the 56lb weight throw. Technique is pretty straightforward. It's all about strength / power. Irish records are just over 9 metres for distance, and just under 5 metres for height.
