If you’re collapsing, crouching, or sinking during your approach, you’re leaving massive distance on the table — we’re talking up to 15 meters lost just from poor posture alone. In this video, we break down why staying tall during your javelin approach is the #1 unlock for bigger throws, smoother rhythm, and more effortless power.
This isn’t about “looking good” — it’s about running fast, transferring energy, and positioning your body to hit a perfect block. Most throwers don’t realize that everything starts with posture. Your throw is only as good as the approach that sets it up.
📍 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
• The real reason tall posture = more runway speed
• Why crouching or hunching kills your ability to rotate
• How your center of mass affects force transfer and blocking
• The hidden connection between staying tall and front-leg timing
• Fixes and drills to help you stay tall without becoming stiff
• Examples of elite throwers who float through the approach
🎯 The 15-Meter Fix Starts with How You Move.
Your posture sets up your entire throw — from penultimate to plant. If you compress your body early, you’re wasting your speed and forcing your upper body to compensate. When you stay tall, you maximize rotational stretch and allow your hips and shoulders to separate naturally — and that’s where the power comes from.

💬 Common Mistake Alert:
Most athletes think they need to get “lower” to throw harder — but that crouch actually kills their block and collapses their throw. Fix your posture, fix your angles, and you’ll be shocked how far the jav goes with less effort.
