Question

I'm a fit, well built male, but cannot throw very far, what could cause this?

Answer 1

poor throwing technique

Answer 2

most likely, you are not using the correct technique. You could be grabbing on to the object you throw too tight, this can hinder the speed you throw the object (thus the distance) as too much pressure is on yr arm, preventing it from moving flexibly. Also when you throw an object, you do not only throw with yr arm, but you use yr legs and yr whole body to assist you. I suggest you ask your coach or a friend who can throw very far the correct technique and what you may be doing wrong.
