your deltoids are mainly used to throw the javelin if you dont know what deltoids are they are your sholders David Stutchbery Ballarat Secondary College Westy Campus
arm strength is almost the least important. Rather, coordination of the whole body, especially with use of the large muscles of the legs and back. Look at the sleek Olympian & Miss Paraguay Leryn Franco.
according to from http:/www.squidoo.com/javelin and others, "JAVELIN throwing is an unbelievably technical event. Unlike our hammer, discus and shot putting counterparts, we do not rely so much on strength and muscle as excellent coordination and rhythm!" and "your momentum comes not from your arm or your hand but from your TOES! That's right from your toes through your foot, your ankle, your knee, your HIP, your torso, your shoulder and then your arm, hand and finally your fingers! It's a whole body workout!"
P.S. since reading this, and looking at Leryn Franco, my understanding and respect for the graceful skill of this sport has skyrocketed.

∙ 12y agoThe muscles used to throw shotput are alot of legs, and alot of chest, sholders, triceps, and forearms. If you work those parts of your body you should be able to get the shot a few feet farther. streching out before and after the thorw helps a little.
