Pud Throws
I will typically do 10 each OH, Front, 1-Arm Left, 1-Arm right (=40) in a workout. During the precompetition season, throw the heavier pud often and then do more lighter pud throwing as the
season progresses, e.g., when you would be doing more light ball throwing in practice for speed
development.
The term Pud actually comes from the Russian “pood” designating a unit of measure. The
Hungarians throw long handle Puds of varying weight. The Pud throw was a major part of Olympic
Silver Medalist and American Record holder Lance Deal’s training. Lance preferred and now
manufacturers a short handle 35, 28 and 14 pound Pud. The 35 and 28 are suitable for men while
most women will be fine with a 14 pound.
Overhead Sequence
Note how the OH throw makes you pop the hips and hit a good “inverted C” position.
Front Throw Finish
1-Arm Sling Sequence
For the hammer, this really helps with anticipation of the implement coming down through zero
degrees between your legs at the finish, lifting straight up with hips and back, blocking with the left
leg, and throwing up and around the block. To maintain symmetry/balance in neuro-muscular
development, one should throw an equal number of one-hand to each side.
