In shot put and discus, the half turn is where real power is built. This position trains Pillars 3–6 by forcing proper alignment, balance, and sequencing through the middle of the throw. The half turn follows a simple 3-step setup: direction, position, and chain reaction. When these are correct, athletes stay centered, keep the hips underneath them, and allow the lower body to lead the upper body instead of collapsing or drifting into the circle. #trackandfield #discusthrow #shotput | Arete Thro
