Shot Put: How Hard Can It Be? 

Just wrapped up my wrist and performed my first shotput throw. The ball hit Mars and created a landing pad for our future 2030 astronaughts. *Blessed*

one time when i was 6 years old (im currently 5) i threw a 69 pound steel ball 420 feet. my parents were amazed, so i tried it again. by my 10th throw, i had thrown a 1000 pound ball so far that it collided with and destroyed the planet beyond pluto. now im currently training for the 1492 olympics

Oh believe me, I did shot put for 3-4 years, and even without the spin, the basic formation and process of throwing a shot put takes time to learn. It seems a lot easier than it looks, but u get called out by the referee if u just “throw” the ball.

The biggest heart break is the realization... yeah, the ball I had in middle school was 8lbs. No wonder I could throw 10 meters.

Hard enough to squish avocados that’s for sure.

rantaro amami: 👁👄👁

I am not alive and can already throw air ∞ ft.

I can't thank you enough. I'm 68 and like to compete in the Senior Games. I've heard you are supposed to use your legs but never actually saw it demonstrated til now. I can't wait to correct my form and get over this plateau I've been on. Til now, I guess I've just been doing arm throws. I can feel the calf cramps starting already.

I'm X age, and I can throw X feet with a X lb. shot! But that guy in the video.. what a loser, am I right guys?!

I'm 2 and I throw 52'

I have thrown a shot put 76 feet confirmed. I have no need to have this record known and acknowledged, accept via the RU-vid comments section. Please share your praise of my amazing feat below.

I threw a shot 80,000 feet as a warm up

Cool video. :) I have fond memories of shot put, nice to get the vibe again from your video.

When I was a freshman I threw a shot 200ft on a warm up #Huge

excellent video...you did a good job of journalism.

its so easy steps you have showned me thank you sir

I’m still in my mother’s womb, and I can throw a ballistic missile faster the the speed of light.

Why would they have him rotate? Why not start with the glide or even a shuffle?

Fun story. Thanks for sharing it.

thanks bro its really helpful

as shot put thower myself, i personally took ballet for 3 years of highshool just to learn the spin tech. and even after all the training and the ridicule by others in doing ballet as a big burly guy, i was topping a 16lb ball 60 foot+ consistently , so with that said shot put is indeed harder then what it looks :) and for those who take the time to learn and go above "normal" training, the rewards of it are well worth it :)

At first I was like 28 ft is pretty good with 12lbs and then you said it was 8lbsb🤣

excellent.u have great potential u will be successful at this. sport .good luck. dont quit.thx

Loved this.

Kaaaaaaaeeeeeeeedeeeee

For real tho, throwing shot can be really frustrating sometimes. I can never get it perfect. Either I'll drop my elbow, my glide is too slow, my release, it's always something

love the throws!!

I agree, my training in figure skating has helped my tennis a lot. I started looking to shot training to get a better tennis serve ....

Im in highschool so i dont even spin, id rather glide or shuffle and my meet PR is 40"9"

maby he should have thrown a 6 instead of a 16

Wow this technique is awesome to throw it I was so afraid how I can but this technique is very helpful.💗

Em nhất định sẽ cố đạt môn này. Cảm ơn và cảm ơn rất nhiều ạ 😊😊

I'm planning to compete in shot put next week, and guess what? nobody has taught me how or anything so wish me luck.. yeah

I almost popped my shoulder out when I first started to to shot put.. Ahah

Thank u sir❤

I knew that pit looked familiar! I ran in a few meets at this school during my high school track career.

I would like to see this on the Olympics but it doesn't seem to get any air time.

I may begin Shot Put in my 10th grade year. Hopefully they don't have the bowling ball weight one. If they do, hopefully I don't fail at it, lol. This will be my first time playing in a sport, especially Track. I'm not a good runner.

i was watching this peacefully till i heard wall street journal at the end.

期待這麼久終於發片的說，馬上按個讚的說

I am not throwing away my shot!

im 6 and throw a 16 lb ball 600000000 ft

I needed this for an assignment. I’m doing I barely needed it but I still needed it thanks lol

Interesting! Thanks for the video!

I throw a 50lb shot 328 feet.

Everyone. Stop. Bragging. About. Your. Shot Put. Record. Nobody. Cares.

Nice so clean video for basic learner

last glide move was very help full for mi

I'm 14 had a middle school meet today and I threw 29' 5 3/4"

I'm 0.00000000000001 years old and can throw 204739202764939262739372394826284036284028 light years.

amazing

What’s funny is in 7th grade I threw to the 35 line and I just realized I did decent I always thought I was bad because others threw to the 40 and 45; you have now restored my happiness thank you

I'm 20 and I can throw a shot put 7 feet. Ima boss

at 15 I threw about 42 feet not bad and not great.... my favorite was javelin.. favorite part of track just watching the girls

There should be one for Discus and Javelin it's really funny seeing these. The spin is really difficult it literally took me almost an entire season to learn the spin for Shot and Discus.

Như một nghệ sĩ ♥

i really caught this at 666,666 views.... after watching a sportscenter vid from 6-16-16... this is awkward. Welp this vid is cool

My friend Brian (biggest kid in school) can throw it 45 feet. We're in 8th grade

The glide is the only way to go about it for you.

Nice sir

I threw 40'2 with the 10pound shot and im a sophomore 😂

you don't even need to spin to throw further.. in my opinion..

nice videos sir

man john has slimmed down since his throwing days big time

I am in 6th and can literally throw the ball 592 cm

How is this a Olympic sport but bowling is not?

Jason you should try it. I started in 9th grade throwing about 32' at 190 pounds and look where it got me I'm throwing 55' at 245 and I'm going division 1. I too am a linemen so you have the build for it.

I think the shuffle is my favorite throwing form,plus as a basketball player it's something im already used to.

Looking forward to my second Olympic sport in HS. winter is wrestling, im 255 lb, and next is T&F, doing SP and Disk.

His release made my shoulder hurt

Physics, centripetal force; so twirl until you hurl

Nice video

Not a bad first day! But when your coach is John Godina ...

i dont know how to play this sport.. but i really want to learn cause it is interesting more than other sport

Love from Cambodia 🇰🇭 😂 😘

Where did you mount the camera for the throwing shots?

My PR is 44-3 as a sophomore. Hope to be hitting 45-46 by the end of the season and she.

I use the glide for my school champion shotput player

It's an accomplishment of your ability to throw. Like vertical jump, Bench press, and your time i running events, its an accomplishment and tells whether you're good at your sport/lift

nice very very nice

nice video

Tyler Schieman (something like that) He lives down the street from me. He threw a 55, not too many. But mainly it was 45s

That's really good. That's about what threw in seventh grade. What division is your school?

i'm throwing 31 6.5 right now, but my first season with it doesn't start until spring so I have time to improve.

I’m 34 seconds old and I’ve just absolutely yeeted a 60 pound shot into the atmosphere

I thought this was a movie clip😂😂

I use the 8 pound ball because I'm a 7th grader. I started throwing late since I'm a sprinter. A big sprinter, I weigh 160 pounds and I am 5'8. I'm also pretty fast I run about an 11 second 100 meter. So I started throwing at the end of our track season. I have only thrown twice and I am at 33 feet already is that good?

The glide is really hard for me !

'If you can't do, you coach'

He is from Streator, Illinois he through 50' 07 at state. This year's state champion. I also am for for 7th grade champion.

A threw a shotput while I was in space, it is still travelling as I'm commenting, no one will ever beat me.

Real hard

Part 7 life action seems nice

Nice

Good

not bad!

The Gliding Shotputter says "I glide in 2 secs 37 degrees 900 lb power squat"

Thank you i will have an exam next thursday

I throw in the 11-12 division in shot and I threw 9.90m (32ft 5 3/4inches), and won gold at a official meet. Is that a good throw, or am I just average? I’ve seen records like 53ft and I’m wondering if I’m just bad.

I'm in 7th grad and I throw the 4k 40'. I've placed 4th and 6th at USATF junior Olympic nationals as a 10 year old and a 12 year old
