Well done man, fingers crossed for you. Loved the sport, PB at 69,83m at the age of 20 (800g), couple of training throws around 75m, and then I dislocated my shoulder during weightlifting. Doctors told me possible surgery outcome was qiute uncertain so I quit. Life goes on, it's already 23 years ago and I have other hobbies to enjoy in life, but still love watching athletics any time, especially javelin. Good luck out there, and well done with the progress. Greetings from Czech Republic ..... you know... we love javelin here🙂
Well done. Nice to see the improvement. Wish I could still throw but really messed up my elbow. PB of 73:95 at 20 years old. Miss the sport a lot but at least I coach it now.
Thank you! Always sad to hear stories about throwing careers ending to injury :( But coaching is cool too, and that's what I'm also doing besides studying and training!
Nice throwing. I remember when I threw 57m with the 800g, in training, when I was 17 but never threw that in competition. Then ... life happened and I never threw again :( Best of luck.
Leevi, this is such a good, inspirational ja fun video to watch. It could give also a good motivation boost for youngsters - years of hard work => results will follow. Great, simply great! All the best & greets from Estonia!:)
Very impressive jump from 2019 to 2020. Must have felt great throwing 60+ in season opener! What do you think made the main difference in 2019 vs 2020? More strength perhaps?
Thank you! Yeah, my strength shoot up like never before that winter, I went from for example 150 kg squat to 175 kg and from 105 kg clean to 120 kg. I also added overweight throws quite a bit. But maybe the most important thing was a little "lower" release not completely over the head. I'm pretty sure it added distance to pull and therefore release speed, and I managed to throw through the point a lot easier than in 2019.
Thanks! I think I should get my left a bit further forwards so I could block the throw more effectively, but atleast till now it has been easier said than done. We'll see if I'll get it sorted out for next season! :)
seeing your improvement over the years, i wonder what had the most influence in throwing so far, was it mostly because of improving your technique or rather because of getting stronger/increase of strength? Like is it more the way of throwing OR rather your muscle strength that makes the javelin fly far?
Very good question! It's really hard to say which one is more important, but I would guess both getting stronger/faster and improving technique have had somewhat equal effect. My squat has improved from ~80 kg to 200 kg for example, so it naturally has something to do with the progress. And the change in technique is quite big too. In my opinion, the increased strength level makes it possible to throw with better technique. Also, the year when I didn't improve my PR I really didn't get physically stronger either
@@leevilindi Oh wow thanks, so it depends on quite a few things actually :) it was always surprising to me how guys that dont look really strong can throw over 80m just like guys that look really strong
Technique is very sound and now it is a case of power development. Take a look how the Germans do it with Petra's javelin sled machine. Very interesting how they develop that set of throwing muscles. Also take a look at the sort of gym weights the top guys are moving in clean, bench other power moves. Do the ankle, hip rotation drill over and over again programme your body to involve your entire body in the throw. Watch Jan Zelezny repeating this move over and over again in training. That was the key for him...all of his body into the throw. Notice how he does it very very quickly even when drilling it in practice, get the mind and body used to whipping that ankle and hip into the throw. But well done you are on course for an Olympic appearance one day.
I coach javelin. Cool to watch. My best athletes hit 57.57 m for males. 1 year training. And 35.54 m for females in 1 yr training. Both were total novices. Best of luck to you.
The best tip I could give is probably to learn to throw with your whole body. The energy transfer from feet to the arm is crucial and it definitely takes time to get it right. Also building a solid strength base will help.
So much time spent on what is relative little improvement Such a thing is not something I'd ever consider in pursuing as it has no practical application outside that of the realm of Olympic sports Getting better at it is good. So long as that effort can be transported into a use outside of it, I'd say
In my opinion "the thing" in sports, athletics and other individual sports especially, is that it really truly doesn't (and doesn't have to) make sense to anyone else than the athlete himself. There's a Greek word 'arete' that describes pretty well what sports mean to an athlete; living to one's full potential. Obviously physical capability is just one aspect of a person's potential, but it definitely can be an important part of it. In my opinion you develop good qualities when you try your best at improving in sports: you learn to know yourself and your limits, you realize the importance of working/resting etc, you learn to deal with disappointments and failures and then again you get to experience the feelings of success and accomplishment. And it's easier to face these things in the realm of sports than in "real life" so to say.
Man that sucks, hopefully it will heal soon! I have not pulled anything throwing, but I actually pulled my hamstring a couple of months ago while sprinting. Also had some minor shoulder and elbow issues in the past.
Oh, that's a huge progress. I recently became very interested in javelin throwing. But I'm 21. Don't know if it's a good age to start. Never had an experience in l.a. Had been doing fencing since 7 to 14 y.o. though. All the way since then I haven't been doing any sport professionally. But was trying to keep myself in shape, playing some basketball for fun, working out. What do you think, is there any perspective in javelin throwing for me or it's too late? Besides, I'm quite good at sprint. 100 meters in 11 sec without training.
Thanks! And I don't think that it's necessarily too late to start! Most of the top guys have started young, even a lot younger than me, but considering your natural speed I would guess you could be gifted in javelin. Of course throwing a javelin requires quite a specific skillset so it might need a lot of reps to get it dialed in.
Not yet, the season is just about to start here in Finland. I had a minor hamstring injury a while ago, so I'll give it a couple of weeks to heal until I start my season
Hey man, awesome progression!!! Its very motivational. :) Whats your opinion, if guy like me, 31 years old, starts training now for javelin, could it be possible to throw 70m some day? its like my dream to throw javelin but only now i can do it. I am training in calisthenics for like a year. Maybe it helps somehow?
Hi, thanks! It's hard to say how far you could be able to throw, but I definitely recommend trying it out. Javelin is a technical event, so it requires thousands of reps to make it fly well. And the calisthenics definitely helps, the strength and body control you have gained from it will come in handy when training for javelin!
What one did you use at 14-15, I want to get one, but it is hard to find one that is well built, and affordable. I just throw an arrow around right now for fun with a pb at 57 yards, IDK what that is in meters, but for an arrow I feel like it is pretty good, better than most, if not all kids my age, and most adults. I only took 2 or 3 steps, so I don't think it was the best of my capabilities.
For javelin throwing itself the best drills are partials; standing throw, throw from the penultimate step and throw from crossovers. The same can be done with weihgted balls, too, and I'd recommend to progressively overload to heavier implements (I have done standing throws with 5 kg shot eventually). Also practicing the approach and the different phases of it with or without the javelin are helpful. Naturally the most important exercise is the full performance, javelin throw with full-speed approach. Just make sure that your body is ready (a lot of partials and approach drills already done) for full-speed throws when you start doing them more regularly.
That's a solid mark already! My best advice would be to optimise your technique (get a coach or learn from videos) and to improve your physical abilities, especially speed and strength.
Parhaat heitot näyttävät tulleen silloin, kun olet pysynyt pystyssä ja saanut tuesta enemmän apua/potkua heittoon. Toki tähän tuki-hommaan vaikuttaa sekin, että lähdetkö painamaan yläpäällä tuen päälle. Olet helposti 75-80 m heittokunnossa.
Pari vaikeaa kautta takana, joten ennätys on edelleen tuo sama 69.95 m. Viime kaudella riivasi selkäkivut, ja tämä kausi lähti vasta sunnuntaina käyntiin. 73 m ja Kalevan Kisat kuitenkin tähtäimessä!
Awesome video mate! Commitment and consistency is the key to so many things. Your technique looks spot on, there’s a notable increase in speed in your delivery over the years. I totally agree with the above re power and weight training. I’m 54 and have always trained weights throughout my life. Really important to maintain muscle mass as you get older. I’ve just started back throwing, your never too old!! Australian Masters are in on in 2022 can’t wait. All the very best for your future, keep training!

It's been 3 months since I started throwing a javelin, but I can only throw it 30 meters. But watching this video gave me hope. Thank you from Japan
Gotta love the guy throwing in the snow- DEDICATION!
Thanks! :D
what a madlad

this is awesome ❤ never give up give you 100000% and be the best.
Thanks a lot, I'll do my best!!
good luck mate. thank you for this video
Thanks! You're welcome!
well deserved progress Leevi - not many would throw in the snow (Finns excepted of course!).
Looking forward to more big ones in the next few years
This video is AWESOME! And inspiring!
Thanks!
to be continued for 75m+
best of luck champion...👍
Thanks! :)
Good luck for 2021!
Thanks :)
grossartig, danke für den Clip!
Bitte!
Great video, nice progression. Keep up the good work and patience.
Great video. Grettings from Chile. Keep working i am training javelin too. 50m at 31 years . My first year training :D
Love to see it bro 🤟 I’m throwing over in the US. Just finished the season with a 52.65
That's great, good luck for the next one!
Respect. I thow the javelin myself but my javelin isn’t flying high enough. So im stuck at the 45 metre mark
My goal for this jear is 50 metres
I really enjoyed this. Wish it had caught my eye at an earlier age. Looks fun as hell. Maybe I can pick it up as a hobby?
What's your age?
Keep up the progression you have this!!
Leevi, this is such a good, inspirational ja fun video to watch. It could give also a good motivation boost for youngsters - years of hard work => results will follow.

Keep going ✌️ Good luck for your next goal
Thank you!
Kyllä hommia tehty. Kiva seurata.
Se on aina hyvä kuulla!
Goodluck man nice training
i just got a javelin today ,,at 59 years of age , just starting ,,,well here goes ...
That's amazing! Good luck with the throws!
I'm 58. Wish I could still throw. probably hurt myself bad if i picked up again.

Did you ever pull a muscle throwing, I did recently and it sucks so bad, I can’t throw for three weeks
Man that sucks, hopefully it will heal soon! I have not pulled anything throwing, but I actually pulled my hamstring a couple of months ago while sprinting. Also had some minor shoulder and elbow issues in the past.

How to make sure javelin go far ??
You can't never really be 100 % sure, but training technique consistently and building up your physical abilities is what you can do!

do they measure from the white foul line?
Yes they do!
have you tried with your left hand maybe?
In practice sometimes, but I can barely throw 35 m with it
Did you continuously practicing it or taking breaks of 3-4days or week.please answer

Hello, I am from Latvia. I am 13 yers old, 2009. With 600g javelin, my oficial record is 49,93m, what do you think?
