In HS, I had no problem getting 50+ yards. But myself and the backup were treated like pitchers, and had specific throwing workouts to strengthen our arms.
If I tried to do that now, I'd dislocate my shoulder. Old age sucks. |

Technique > strength
In fact the term "Arm Strength" is almost a complete misnomer, it has almost nothing to do with strength of your arm at all. |

True. The "most muscular" QBs often have weak arms. Brady Quinn comes to mind. Someone claimed Quinn had a "strong arm." I responded that indeed, Quinn has a strong arm in the weight room, not on the football field. Quinn vs. Dan Marino, arm wrestling and then throwing the ball... |

Are you literally just talking about the bicep/triceps? Are are you considering the shoulder? IMO, and from experience, strength/stability in the shoulder is 100X more important than having a huge muscles between the elbow and shoulder. |

My technique is pretty good, plus it depends on the football, and feeling it out, so that it will spin properly. Not all footballs are created equally. |

I bet I could throw one a hell of a long way.
And then my arm would fall off. |
