Whilst Einstein here thinks he's revolutionised the art of swinging a hammer (saying it's arm strength that is the least important), he's totally forgotten that it's going to be the torque that your arm muscles produce that is going to be lifting the hammer. He even said it's "lifting with her arms".

It looks like she was trying to swing it the way the armchair quarterbacks said she should have.
Wrong. She first had to stand sideways, or even partially facing backwards, with the weight of the head of the hammer on the ground between her and the apparatus. Then she has to accelerate the hammer head UPWARDS as she begins the swing in first half of her arc, lifting with her arms. As she approaches the zenith of her arc with the hammer swing, SHE WHIPS HERSELF AROUND TO FACE THE APPARATUS. That gives added torque and acceleration as she begins her downward swing.
It's technique, body positioning and movement, and only lastly arm strength.
Girls don't realize this. That's why most throw like girls. It's a brain thingy. It takes the entire body to throw a fast ball properly.
Please shut the fuck up.
They should make it easy so weak and uncoordinated spazzes can play too. It's not fair.
In conclusion, you should shut the fuck up as well.
Look, you morons, of course she has to use her arm muscles. But whatever strength she has in her arms can be AMPLIFIED by correct body movement and proper positioning to where even the WEAKEST girl can, with the proper technique, hit the peg hard enough to make the bell ring.
Does the guy who can curl a gazillion pounds throw the hardest fast ball? NO, YOU FUCKING MORONS, IT'S THE GUY WHO USES HIS ENTIRE BODY TO ACCELERATE THE BALL. IT'S MECHANICS, NOT BICEPTS STRENGTH.
NOW YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP.
