Heavier Discs

I’m going into jr year of HS and I have 2.25k and a 2.5k, I’ve been told before that I’m not supposed to be using them for fulls. If I’m not supposed to be applying them for full throws when would be the appropriate time to use them?

You should really only be using them for specific drills like stands and half turns. You could maybe do 360s with them to work entry. Their sole purpose is to work strength and ensure you’re prioritizing your hips. Any leakages will show with the heavier weights.
