JR, I did mention that, but we were talking about golf drives. I am happy with 140m drives on a golf course, but throwing on an open field it's a whole different story. And using 360 I may get up to 10 meters more :) ...which is pathetic I guess. I just can't get enough pressure with that.

Lift your arm and pull it down using your elbow. Can't you feel your pec contracting at all? I do, that's why my pecs get some workout too. Maybe thei're weak. But you're correct, that's for sure, about primary muscles. Still hahving fun doing it and I think it will do good for my strength. But...

JR, I usually don't like to discuss about my distance, but since you have now twice estimated my drives at 450, I'll have to correct that. Where have you seen me throw 450 tops? Come check my driving some time at Tali driving range. Yeasterday, at dead calm, I shot several hyzers over 450, and...

Fun to read these posts, where people who don't know me are accusing of trolling. This's no broscience, this is just having fun with a pullup bar. Using supinated grip (palms facing towards you) will definitely have some effect on pecs too. Yes, doing couple of sets won't do any good for pecs...

After this 100 reps workout my pecs as well as my triceps were exhausted. Not mentioning lats and biceps. Sure it's more about pulling, but in my opinion pull/chin-ups is the best overall excercise for upper body. But maybe I'll add some 100 dips to it. This might be fun! I'll report about that...

I recently found a simple yet effective routine to strengthen the whole upper body, and especially pulling muscles which are important for disc golf driving. Here goes: 100 chin-ups. Yes, full reange of motion ie. locked arms. I use a pyramid style because it's the easiest way to reach your...

As usual, l almost got injured doing heavy bench press and figured I'll take it easier this week. This lead me to try some new equipment and exercices. Thus I got pretty excited about core training. Maybe I'll devote one day a week for bodyweight exercices like different kind of chin-ups and...

Heavy weights hmmm... I think it's always best to go as heavy as possible, BUT using good form. Once you know your limits then try to break them. As I said, once I get the desired reps and sets (which means that the first two sets should be light and third thight) I'll increase the weight next...

Traditional= smooth technique My way=full power :)

Ok, signin' up for this board and I guess this is the mandatory players' meeting. I've been competing for 10 years or so, mostly in Finland but some EuroTour events as well and EC's. I'll probably stick to reading, but since I posted some stuff already I figured it'd be polite to introduce...

My gym workout isn't discgolf specific but a very good basic routine for "mass and strength" (which has more to do with your nutrition btw). Yes, it's a basic routine which should be in the other topic but gaining distance was the first reason for me to join a gym. And besides, I don't believe...
