Your lucky you can throw with a 6lb shot in JH. They changed the standards for JH not too long ago from 8lb to 6. And that was after I left for high school and by the end of my eighth grade year I was throwing 29 ft with 8 lb shots.
Still about the same with the 4 k lol...going for 30 feet...but you throw decent.
I am an eighth grader at Immanuel Lutheran in Crystal Lake, IL. I am throwing 34in. right now with a 4kg shot, or about 8lbs, in the 7/8 grade girls lutheran schools. It is fun to grunt and sometimes helps.
Good job. Just for your age level, I can advise you to keep your elbow up on your throwing arm and keep your free arm (block arm) driving into your hip. You might also want to keep your head up and find a spot to aim at (focal point). I understand how you feel about the weight changes. I have a girl entering the 7th grade and Ohio used to have they girls throw 6 lb. till 7th grade then 8 in jr high. Now, they have them throwing 6 lb till high school. I just train her with the high school 4k
@jamproductions96 from new york. You're prob right about it being a state thing. I just couldn't help noticing that the majority of JHS videos are throwing six pounds.
@ThatxUrrutiaxKid oh yeah well if you think about it it's kinda stupid cause now next year I'll be on varsity and now I'll have to throw 8 pounds when I'm used to 6 so idk whatever lol :)
@lghanrahan yup no prob I've really improved since last year so I don't know maybe my form has changed but I'll put on a video from this year so maybe that would be better! :)
@BlueEyedGirl096 No that's really good! Keep up the good work! I have a meet tomorrow but it's been really rainy here so I hope it doesn't get cancled!
I can throw 35 ft on an 8 pound ball. And I am in 7th

Ah this brings back memories. Though when I was in the 7th grade I threw 30's. Weight training and form perfection are a must.

@jamproductions96 its helps to grunt or scream, I'm a varsity thrower and i proved to the people that i teach, that the grunt helps in adding inches.
