Also work on thoose lats. Also do plyometrics stair jumping and box jumping you need to be explosive. Not to brag but I used to throw in the mid 40's lol and back then we used the slide for shot. NOw with the use of the spin the weights are flying further lol. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored. The world is mine now and forever.No one holds command over me.

Work on shrugs, tri-s, bi-s, lats, shoulders, chest, and back. Try to do those around twice a week if your a beginner. The most a week is 3 otherwise you will overtrain. -------------- Don\'t think you cant do it know you can do it.

I have seen a guy who was rail thin throw 50 feet just on his speed technique and explosiveness alone. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored.
