Throws Prescription
Take the questions out of what type of throws and how many of each you should be doing during practices. Drills, full throws, and technical cues are provided to help you get the most out of your time in the field. As a bonus, all athletes signed up for training will receive access to a video analysis of 1 throw/week of your choosing via private message.

Strength & Power Training
Weight room programming designed with the specific needs of throwers in mind will help to increase the general strength and power needed to become successful in throwing.

Special Strength Development
You need more than just weight room strength to be a good thrower. The utilization of special strength exercises will help develop the specific strength in similar positions and movement patterns that you will feel in your throws.

Athlete First Approach
To become a good thrower, you first need to become a good athlete. Highland Strong takes this into account with the utilization of sprints, jumps and other exercises that require you to move and manipulate your body in different movement patterns to aid in becoming the best athlete and that you can be.

Longevity Focused
Training should be sustainable and leave you feeling better, not beat you down and leave you with no energy. Highland Strong focuses on a balance between doing enough so that you see the increases in your strength & throws, but not so much that you overdo it and get burnt out.

FAQs
Who is this for?
Highland Strong is designed for athletes who participate in the track & field throwing events and Scottish Highland Games throwers who want a thrower specific strength training plan.
Is coach support available?
Yes! You can ask any questions through the TrainHeroic messaging feature, either through the team chat or private message.
What can I expect out of an average day of training?
An average training day will last between 60-90 minutes and include a 10 minute warm up and 5 minute cooldown.
What if I don't have the right equipment for, or can't do an exercise?
No worries! Alternate exercise suggestions will be included in exercise notes in case you don't have a certain piece of equipment or if it's an exercise that can be difficult for some who may not have the strength or experience to perform it (e.g. doing a leg curl in place of a glute-ham raise).
What level of training experience do I need to have for this program?
Intermediate to advanced. You should be comfortable performing power & Olympic lifts, the basic movement patterns, jumps/sprints, and highland throwing events.
How often is programming updated?
Programming for sets and reps will be updated weekly to help progress the lifts of the current cycle. Exercise selection and program focus will change slightly every 4-8 weeks in order to continue progressing the plan and avoid boredom in training.
