SHOT PUT TECHNIQUE ANALYSIS- RANDY BARNES , ROTATIONAL STYLE

[BobTheBuilder8077]

SUPER LYK

[atw2114]

im getting coached by this guys coach, the one the only, Rusty Smith!

[mr305ish]

the toeboard thing in warm ups isnt that big of deal i saw a video where brian oldfield said he would warm up at 84 feet when he wasn t trying to stay in the circle

[Snakebite142]

0:56 SCRATCH sorry i couldnt resist

[TravellinMan72]

He used the same right shoe when he set the world record.

[Kahlu57]

Has everybody forgot about Brian Oldfield who threw 70ft at 40yrs old

[AtletuTheBest]

very good video

[agentbobbarker]

Is he wearing pants?

[hukanoobi32]

@agentbobbarker A true testament to the beauty/size/strength of his thighs lol

[599GTBFiorano]

There's a big difference between shot put and discus spin. Workin' on it right now, so im saying no shit. In discus, you really have to jump to have time to stop the upper part of the body and let your legs make the tension. In shot put, there is no time for this, the circle is too small for a big jump, you need to be on the ground really fast.

[MESTRELEANDROful]

assista videos proibidos no meu canal são muito bons see videos banned on my channel are very good

[skylarwill]

ok maybe not 10 times but brian is still better

[SassyNinjaWolf]

I'm supposed to copy his footing and shit? He wasn't even doing it right!

[hukanoobi32]

@SassyNinjaWolf Are you retarded?

[chadcite]

do you actively swing the left are to increase rotational speed in the spin ?

[35katiedid]

anyone know where to find a really good glide visual???

[thecrackattack]

i just won my first track meet with a 38ft throw :) but that form is called the rotary its like the discus form called "wheel" but u spin in more of a straight curcle with the wheeel

[skylarwill]

brian oldfield is atleast 10 times better than this guy he hit 75' first way better tech

[leoesharkey]

@skylarwill 10 times better? indoor and outdoor world record, olympic champion, you jest surely?

[skylarwill]

@leoesharkey is barnes good yes he is but all i am saying is that i believe oldfield to be better

[PORKCHOP101190]

It could easily be 71 feet,i know,my uncle threw with him,my uncle threw 68ft

[sirbiffer]

damn that form is near perfect

[kcvcramer]

Hmm, well I highly doubt 71 feet.... and to tell you the truth, he is using discus footing. I would know. I throw shot put, discus, and javelin for my school. (threw with varsity at the age of 12)

[70footer]

@kcvcramer Randy threw 71 feet as a 19 yr old in this video....went on to be the world record holder at 75'10'' , still stands 19 rs later...he IS the best ever.

[chadcite]

I don't think so, he throwed 2" more than ulf timermann, but its my belief that the thrower who puts consistenly is the best. ulf timermann has the most throws over 22m so in my mind he is the best ever. Not taking anything away from barnes WR but the numbers that ulf put up trumps barnes.

[leoesharkey]

@chadcite  threw

[chadcite]

thanks, my english is a bit better now :-)

[darnoc698]

@70footer i'd have to agree that randy barnes is the greatest shot putter the world has ever seen.

[waflezinc]

@70footer wait,if his practicing shouldn't he be trying to not step out of the circle? cause i thought it was a foul if you did. I'm just starting ( middle school ) so im not sure.

[stuart7337]

@70footer noooooo brian is

[therealjtgt]

@70footer ... and he was suspended for life for using anabolics ...

[hukanoobi32]

@therealjtgt he wasn't suspended for life lol he was put on suspension until he could pass a drug test and then came back clean and still won the olympics.

[hukanoobi32]

@therealjtgt Not until he could pass, actually. They just suspended him for two years. My bad. I got my facts mixed up.

[cdeavellar1]

randy barnes is the best dam shot putter the world has ever seen flat out

[awesomeness002]

hes not using discus footing, i throw disc and shot at my school, the power stance for both is the same but with shot put you kick your leg much wider at the beginning, as he is doing here, you must be throwing disc and shot wrong

[Handyandy58]

No way? He, like thousands of other shot putters over the last 40 years, used the spin as originally adapted from the discus? Who does that?

[awesomeness002]

@kcvcramer well i see it as, he is the world record holder, your not, so i think id take his word over yours

[hukanoobi32]

@kcvcramer Nobody cares to hear your bragging, stop trying to act like you know better than RANDY BARNES. He's kind of the greatest thrower to ever live. No big deal or anything, he just holds the world record and has one of the most effortless and efficient techniques EVER, as 70footer stated in the description.

[TheVidal53]

@kcvcramer you dont know much do you... randy barnes is a beast and yea i bet his warm ups were a hell of alot farther than 75 in a warm up.... discus pshhhh

[TheVidal53]

@kcvcramer oooo varsity 12 years yea bud let me inform you on some info... your full of crap, there isnt much different on discus and spin for shot put tecnique i bet you hit in the low 120's for disc and 37 for shot and fall during jav.

[billysue2]

@kcvcramer so you dont know who randy barnes is then,possibly the greatest shotputter in history,defo the best american.Of course he like the rest of them were probably on roids then since there was feck all testing.

[tough5hit]

@kcvcramer well yah no shit hes using the discus spin, they use it for both. and he did throw 71 feet when he was 19 thats no lie.

[w00xer]

@kcvcramer

not quite discus footing. but it depends what you do when u throw discus :D

[andyspizzaplanet]

@kcvcramer so? the rotational technique is what the u.s. has mastered. so youre wrong when u say discus because the technique can be used for both. and no one cares u threw varsity at age 12.

[aeiou99999]

@kcvcramer Your coach failed to tell you that almost every serious shot putter these days uses "discus footing" as you put it -- or "rotational shot put method" as it is officially called. The glide is old school, although you can still do well with it.

[4921602]

@kcvcramer ya i throw dicus and javelin and shotput ...and runn the 400 800 900 1000 2000 and preaty much everything and iv been doing it since age 4 soo ya im preaty sick to just like u

[4921602]

@kcvcramer you sound like the biggest fucking cock in the world if i ever meet u in person i would punch u in the lips ....both pairs of them

[hukanoobi32]

@kcvcramer You may be the stupidest man in the world.

[aeiou99999]

@kcvcramer You have embarrassed yourself.  Despite your self-described wealth of experience, you have failed to recognize world class form and a former world record holder. Perhaps there is a life lesson for you in this?

[ThrowRuh]

@kcvcramer you are the biggest dumbass Ive seen.

[cornnellify]

@kcvcramer I revisit thi comment every few weeks. I'm still laughing my butt off. a quick google search would have helped you, kid.

[hukanoobi32]

@kcvcramer Every time I see this I literally laugh out loud. I hope this kid feels like the biggest idiot ever.

[throwerbabe]

im a throwering at my high school...last  year my farthest was 24 feet...my coach this year said i am throwing at least 26 or 30 feet

[chadcite]

Barnes used a spinner standing throw, its considerably lower than a gliders standing to full throw comparison. The equivalent for a glider would be a 20m standing throw, which 70foot gliders can do. C.J Hunter for example could standing throw 20m although he's a spinner he used a gliders standing throw.

[leoesharkey]

He must have been about 19 years old here, what 71-72 feet, with 76foot fouls?

22-23m+ for metric people.

[apiadermin]

WHAY IS THE NAME OF THE SONG??? PLEASE

[70footer]

gimme back my bullets by skynyrd

[apiadermin]

thank you very much

are you thrower?

what is your msn?

[llennroy]

i know he's great but i wish i knew how "efficient" his tech was. Meaning power throw vs full throw.

[chris69006]

his stand throw was 57-60

[llennroy]

NO FUCKING WAY. 15feet?!?!? I'm pissing over 9 feet with the 12. 15feet with the 16? god forbid he makes a quick turn with smeone nearby

[hukanoobi32]

check what chadcite said

[tkpipessr]

I was throwing a consistent 54 with the glide up through my junior year in college. For fun, I tried to throw the Shot in the same technique I used for the South African. I hit 56' the first throw. I ended up that year with a best of 67' and my discus was already nearing 200'. I have taught nothing else but the spin ever since (over 25 years).

[szalairobi]

He's runing with head.

a shot putter

[bsktb11]

great vid, really liked the freeze frame "throwscoach Simpson", i would argue that it rly depends if you do any other events, the old national teams coach said that if you also concentrate on discus(using a rotaional technique) than using the shot rotaion will probably be more effective for you.

[MissTurkishh09]

soz no frow..

:P

[throwscoachSimpson]

Does no one on here have coaches? The trend for the past several years had been toward the spin technique, but the glide is coming back again. Most agree, the technique to use depends on a throwers size, strength, speed and build, whichever suites them best. I think it has A LOT to do with the high school level and a lack of good coaching. Stepping out is a good way to practice getting your hips through and pushing out instead of up. It's called PRACTICE.

[Andreas40924]

Yes I agree. I throw in Highschool. I dont have the best coach but he does what he can to get me to the best I can be. I have glided for all of my throwing life. But I really think that I would have a better time throwing if I were to spin. It very difficult to learn but so much fun. When I do it without a shot it seems perfect. But once I get the shot in my hand everything falls apart. I hate it.

[rketer]

nice vid were did you get it from

[vatocoach]

It is amazing when his right foot is in the middle, his R deltoid, R hip, and R foot are lined up over each other.

[fnape7]

i thought this was easy but its hard as hell

[SCB2209]

Im thinkin bout tryin this technique out..maybe not the exact one..but it looks rlly effective..maybe beat my 40' slump

[desembodic]

Its not that easy to do well, its very easy to over rotate with this and land very open with this huge leg sweep technique. Worth trying though

[Slime2112]

HE STEPED OUT

[MacMoe49]

WTF? xD

He holds the world record and u will told us he stepped out? Okaaaaaaaaaaay...

[xITrevonatorIx]

Ya he's my uncle.

[cdeavellar]

thats cool. i copy his techinque in the shot put

[cdeavellar1]

yeah so what has your uncle been up to lately.

[TheFlST]

Fuck, that dude is built like a truck...

[xITrevonatorIx]

Barnes is the best ever....PERIOD!

[athletesfoot2]

i need help with my shot put ive got the strength but i dont no how to throw it

but thats confusing

i prefer shuffle step

[earthquake9793]

ive got the same fuckin problem

[rodolfo198910]

name song ?? pliss  ty

[TheFlST]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Back My Bullets

[xylidinehl]

i like how the music syncs with the last replay at the end

[Vishi5]

I've been a glider for a couple of years and now I am trying to get the rotational. This is some good and helpful stuff. Thanks

[xylidinehl]

gliders made a good showing at the olympics this year. I thought for sure that USA had it in the bag though. Barnes would of had it. He was always clutch with the spin in championships

[darnoc6946]

the spin can provide more power to the ball, to get it to go farther but the glide provide more consistency which spin doesnt

[DenmarkNo1]

It seems to be easy, but it takes a lot of time to control this technique.....You have to practise a lot to gain.

[shotgod70]

best there ever was, best there ever will be!

[yodaman34]

is this at Ohio State's French Fieldhouse?

[joshpanther58]

Randy barnes is the MAN!!!

Absolutly the best!

[mbwbg91]

Which technique is better; the glide or the rotation?

[Kugglelovesanime9]

the glide is easier to control, but the spin gives you a much greater power release and distance if you can get it down

[PewPewLazerViking]

If youre ridiculously big like Christian Cantwell sized, I'd stick with glide, but smaller guys usually have a better time spinning.

Spin is going to be overall more productive, but glide will serve you just fine.

[magiata93]

gliding is for more beefy guys. smaller and skinny guys usually stick with spinning because they can generate more power. the gliders usually throw further, but spinners have better form. the current world record is hold by a spinner. today most coaches and colleges look at spinning because if u can get it ull be very good. I practice gliding but i usually spend like 10mins working on spinning every practice because i can't control it yet.

[Rodriguezx123]

same here

[throwerfan22]

@magiata93 I definitely wouldn't consider randy barnes a skinny guy.. haha

[vatonaught]

It made a great deal more sense after I put on my AC/DC and muted Lynard...video is a great help, thanks for posting it

[packfan1227]

very good video, thanks

[nekkari]

Big thanks for putting up this video!
