I have responded to a few post recently and I
wanted for everyone to understand something. Many people
ask about supplements and training patterns and
always wonder about any secrets. Well, I don't
personally know any secrets to big throws. I accepted
responsibility for technical and physical traits all top guys
had, and went after it. I either had to do them or
fail. <br><br>As for diet and supplements I also feel
things get overrated on their effectiveness. I beleive
you can take more credit yourself for big changes in
your physical and technical abilities. If you gained
weight and got strong, it is most likely from hard work
and good consistency.<br><br>The main difference
between myself and most others is my consistency. And I
mean everywhere. (Ask my training partneres, Taylor,
Woosley, Sagnella) I was abvle to get good early, then
dedicated my life to training and throwing. My gains came
from creating a training environment and sticking with
it for a long, long time. I feel like all of you can
analyze your gains by looking at the small things you did
surrounding it. I would bet that at the time of a performance
gain you ate, and slept better, not just loaded
creatine.<br><br>I have lived a lifestyle for the last 12 years that
is totally dictated by my desire to perform. I eat,
sleep, train, rest, and protect my psychological sanity,
in ways that enhance my throwing. I don't do this
part time, or for 6 weeks like a Rocky movie. I do
this about 11 months a year. Hell even when I rest I
am active and still watch what i eat. For example, I
look at food like fuel. I tend to eat things on my
plate seperately, and with no extra suace or salt or
whatever. I take skin off my chicken. My mother always
wonders why I eat like that. I realize I am thinking
about how my bdy process it, not how good it
tastes.<br><br>I like to go to sleep at the same time each night
to keep me in rythem. I get a kick out of it when I
can do this for up to 5 or 6 weeks in a row. Then I
know I have given my body constant pressure, and from
there it can do things that freak you out. I can throw
far because ido many things, that others won't commit
to. <br><br>I don't like to miss workouts, when I am
sick. Especially if I am on a roll. To me sick is 103
fever, and I crap water, or vomit. ThenI miss training.
A sore throat or runny nose doesn't even get my
recognition.<br><br>Over the years of doing this, I have come to the
belief that you have more to do in your progress than
you believe. Those of you who think drugs are the
answer can't fathom the commitment requiremnents, and so
since they can't believe it, then of course drugs must
be needed to throw far. Well, usually talent, and an
internal mental focus make it happen, not drugs. Although
they will help a lot.<br><br>So, on your next push for
improvement chalenge yourself on small things. Like going to
sleep on time, not drinking the beer, or even stop
chasing tail. You can find time for all of that when you
need it. Eat better each day for about 6 weeks, then
you will see the result. A week or two doesn't cut
it. People tend to be weak in this country and feel
like you need to be rewarded after a tough day. Like
eat that choclate cake, or pizza. Turn that reward
mentality from a daily basis into once every two weeks, and
then you can consider yourself worldclass.
<br><br>Success takes long and I mean long term commitment and
punnishment, and pain. This type of behavior is not normal,
and that is why 85 meters isn't normal either. GET
IT?<br><br>So, when you gain in performance, pat yourself in the
back, creatine, or some new crazy methods aren't the
reason. It was hard work, and some consistency, and
talent that played the biggest role.
