SHOT PUT TOP 10 SHOTPUTTERS ALL TIME!

[nebsterify]

When you spin it is much better but in the beginning you are chosen to be either a south African ( the one where you spin) or the glide ( one step )

[TheLastAsianAlive]

@crabbit87 when you spin you create more momentum and it can also help you to keep your chest up, but in doing so you jepordize balance unless you practice at it

[crabbit87]

how come only some spin and others do just like a skip thing before throwing. Is there an advantage to spinning?

[ThekidsJackass1]

Im pretty sute at 2:33 i saw some balls

[TheJ098]

@PassRusher74 I throw Discus, Javelin and I do Shot Put, throw Discus doesn't mean deslike Shot Put, all the throw are cool

[RagingGeneral]

this is fuckin gay

[REXShandowz]

@RagingGeneral Do one of that and you can protest it's gay.

[TheHerxheimer]

Brain Oldfield BEST!

[hapgilly]

too bad Michael Carter had so much football talent, he might have been number 1 on this list if he kept throwing instead of playing in the NFL, only high school athlete to throw the 12lbs shot over 80 feet!!!!

[wherethehellami1231]

this video is all wrong Michael Carter throw 81 3 1/2 soo he holds the record!!

[Paulemmett1]

Jacko Gill, the finest shot putter I've ever seen, he makes Randy Barnes look slow which is saying something! 20.01m at 16 years of age with a 7.26kg. He's aiming for 25m with a 5kg at this years world Youth Games. He's quick and a great young fella. He could be an NBA player, vertical jump of 95cms.

[DJBBTARANAKI]

@Paulemmett1 no jacko gills vertical jump is 125cm actually

[mojo20oz51]

you're gonna be adding jacko gill and nick vena in a few years lol

[dcteck]

REPEAT PRESSING 1 !

LOL!!

[cookiez572]

Omg i didnt know tht ppl who do this professionally r buff like tht lol

I have my event coming up... So nervous but excited! I hope i dont fail :)

[CJDTRS60]

you should make a top ten shotputters video for indoors

[drbudiman]

Randy Matson 71'51/2", Al Feuerbach 71'71/4", and Terry Alritton 71'10" all with glide and all Americans before the Oldfield 75' even spin. Oldfield was a great sprinter too. Saw him beat medalist Chi Cheng at 60 meters indoors at exhibition at pro meet. His 75 didn't count for years for he was paid.

[drbudiman]

Awesome. It's interesting to note that the O'Brian glide with Timmerman is only a few inches behind the Randy Barnes spin mark. Mastery of the Spin us more difficult and harder to be consistent in huge world competitions when medals are at stake.

Beautiful compilation of video. That Adam Nelson is a maniac when he gets pumped up.

[caboosekilla918]

Some of these guys are gods

[southparkstanandkyle]

Dang . we play this in school . i suck BALLS.!

[pkt89n]

Wow...nice!

[buzzed1029384756]

wow a load of truckers throwing cannon balls!

[meowmixmeowmix23]

@buzzed1029384756 stfu do you know how much hard work and dedication it takes to be this good at anything? im going to go with a probably now

[buzzed1029384756]

@meowmixmeowmix23

actually u can shuv that up ure multiple manginas, cos i represent england for field hockey, i have been selected to do 800m, 1500m, 400m and long jump at the national youth festival,and im getting A's in all my subjects at a very competitive school.

so u cant really talk to me about not having dedication,i have come from not being able to afford a pair of running spikes, to being the best in england.

verbally raped.

[Gramercy72]

@buzzed1029384756 you weren't able to afford a pair of spikes but you can afford a computer

[naijaboy777]

that ties with my discus record personally lol

[CJDTRS60]

you should make a video for top ten most dominent seasons of all time like Cantwell and Whiting last year

[PassRusher74]

12 people throw discus....

[ChocoNillySkateKingz]

@PassRusher74 i throw both :(

[916scottyboy]

wow I feel like a douche now!

[bigbraydon]

REESE HOFFA!!! The current world leader.

[MLucas89]

Would anyone recommend shot put for building explosiveness for boxing and mma?

Im very interested in Ballistic training and Ive recently got into Kettlebell training. I would have thought Shot put with 7.26kg (highest i could find) shot would work great for punching power and explosiveness.

Anyone have any feedback?

[robfergusonjr]

Bad ass ...

[klig70]

I am built to use the spin, stocky and powerful legs so for this entire season I have been using the spin (college level) and had yet to hit a PR, today I had a meet and switched back to the glide, I beat my PR by a meeter and a half

[XxFeArThEkInGXx]

i am just a freshman in highschool but my opinion i like the spin better because i feel i can get a little more momentum out of it but glide is just as good my spin record is 52".3 and my glide is 50".1

[ehsfb20011]

Ulf was great but how clueless are you to think an East German in the 80s wasn't juiced?

[downfall4you]

The glide, spin. It all doesn't matter. As long as you can get enough momentum. It's all speed.

[jjhnvhn]

@downfall4you you need power and form to

[mrzip744]

What the video doesn't show was the FIRST guy to throw 70', Randy Matson. He did it 40 years ago. I think his best was about 71'.

[rptestrada72]

The glide does work!

[xXMrConley]

@jswlee i have the technique down and i just started track this year and i love it. if you know the technique that its easy. coach said i know how to do it exactly

[theaveragejoe771]

@xXMrConley it takes years to get it perfect

[redriot]

I cant fucking believe these guys throwing that far from a glide.

[CJDTRS60]

@KonradZuse420 well ever since the guys in this video retired gliders can barely get past 22m and Majewski can't even throw that far.

[throws4life]

@CJDTRS60 probably just a trend, probably best to just compare top throws in the world for each rather than todays standard

[TheBruiser012]

@KonradZuse420 Becuase the GDR have a good reputation for not doping too I suppose? No way a short ass Glider goes over 23m without a little "help" and nearly 30 years later, it doesn't happen again.

[68kenton]

@KonradZuse420 how do you know that for sure? he might of he might not of probably every shot putter except for maybe 4 shot putters took steroids. but thats like 95 percent so even gliders took steroids. the spin makes you gain 7 feet if you do it right, how do i know well cause i used to be a glider i threw 30 feet (7th grade) then i wanted to spin, so i did, i gained 11 foot 41 feet (7th grade same meet) so spin does help, if you say prove it ill have my videos on face book in about 4-5 days.

[CJDTRS60]

@KonradZuse420 you think the communists east germans weren't roided up to?

[spt439]

@KonradZuse420 ulf roided too unfortunately

[TheBruiser012]

@KonradZuse420 so was Ulf...

[jswlee]

@54scubasteve That is not true. I have tried every event except pole vault, but I can say that of the ones I have tried, the triple jump is the most difficult to get down the technique of. However, it may just be different for you, but I would guess that if you tried the triple jump, it would kick your ass.

[laytoncc]

There's a kid form New Jersey named Nick Vena. He threw 67' as a freshman and 73(might be 72) as a junior. His senior year is this year

[haloboy589]

Hey whats this song called?

[jswlee]

@haloboy589 It's a Long Way to the Top by AC/DC

[mageisgeyy]

@haloboy589 lol

[canadaguy2112ca]

awesome!!

[linkjmf]

@54scubasteve threw 30 as a freshman.. throwing 40 as a sophmore.. hoping to hit 60 as a senoir lol

[linkjmf]

@54scubasteve Can you tell me your progression (distance thrown) each highschool/college year?

[jdo114]

can some one help me with my spin

[utdfortreble]

did my cartillage doing shot put.

[Prinsdam]

Why do they rub the ball against their neck before the throw? What do you call that? The goiter wobble?

[Bonfireten]

@Prinsdam you arent allowed to remove the ball from your neck before you release it on the throw.

[MillerBrosRecords]

I'm a senior in high school and I was thinking about doing shotput for the first time because people say I should. Is it hard to get the movement down like should I practice before the season starts?

[TaoSon69]

@MillerBrosRecords I started shot put as a senior in high school as well, it wasn't that hard to get the movement down

[sandnigga2233]

@MillerBrosRecords yeah you definitely should

[WIT81]

no michael carter?? WTF. michael was a beast, he threw 81' in highschool

[TheBruiser012]

@WIT81 screw Carter, Jacko Gill is the shit. Just wait till Gill and Polands Kyzstof Brzozowski break that 8o foot barrier.

[WIT81]

@TheBruiser012 dout it. i havent seen it yet.

[jessbb42]

ulf timmerman should be number one because he kicked randy barnes ass more once

[Gamebox27]

My highest point was 50 or so feet with 12 lbs. I think I could throw 4kg shots 55-60 ft. 75 with 16 lbs just seems ridiculous.

[Gamebox27]

Thinner guys throw it longer. Barnes, Oldfield, and Timmerman all looked pretty skinny compared to the offensive linemen and strongmen earlier on.

[OasisMods]

Ok To all people!:

Randy Barnes did do roids, and alot of it.

But look at his technique.

It's legend, so dont hate

[vanwick]

dope, dope and more dope...

[THEW00XSHOW]

youtube.com/watch?v=CnL1mgIQBn­8 pls watch my technique, would like you to comment

[2ShaePussyCat]

Brian Oldfield looked like Chris Farley :)

[Opie852]

@2ShaePussyCat minus a couple hundred pounds :P

[bigtank67690]

fuckin pusssy



[0101235532]

Does any body know where I can buy shot put equipment in San diego , las Vegas, or new jersey

[lynardskynard4ever]

@0101235532 try VS Athletics (dot) com

[czoraa21]

i dont know anything about shotput but i see everyone getting a lil over 75 feet, has anyone ever gotten 80?

[Gamebox27]

@czoraa21 Michael Carter, former nose tackle for the 49ers, had a 80+ high school throw, but that was 12 lbs.

[keckvan66]

Looking for the best 10 women... can't find anything... all doped???

[ftlptba]

i m forced to give same exams for a college and my first time was 10.90m is this good?i m 1.78 and 72kg

[Rjrussell93]

I'm Gunna be a junior in high school and my best meet throw is 48'7 in a meet but I've thrown a 52'4 and a 43'4 my freshman year. Last year I was 6'4 240 this year I'm about 6'5 260. Check out my videos if you want.

[Opie852]

@Rjrussell93 freakin goon lol

[Rjrussell93]

@Opie852 yeah, sort of

[Dsmith60X]

im a junior in high school and im 6'2" and 260lbs and throw the shot 44ft with the glide (got shoulder surgery so couldent train for 6 months and still throw decent)

[scanner420]

why do they put the ball to there nick like its bleeding lol

[49rockman]

@scanner420 first of all its not a ball lol. its a shot put

[volkerball34]

@scanner420 if you really dont know its because if you throw it like a baseball youll break your wrist/arm

[TechsniperKLZ45]

sweet vid I'm a senior in high school I'm 6'1 and i throw a 42'2 with the glide. shot put is the best event in all of track.

[Bulldog76center]

@TechsniperKLZ45 fuck yeah man! how much do u weigh and what state do u go to?

[Paperpirate456]

all right, im a freshman in high school, i'm 5'10" 170 pds and i put the shot about 32 feet on average. Is that anygood?

[tubkowski]

@Paperpirate456 That's pretty good for your season. I'm also A freshman but I'm 6'2" 240 lbs and I throw within inches of 40'. If you want to hit 45 or higher you need to lift a lot.

[Gamebox27]

@tubkowski The first time I hit 45 was when I was at a meet that didn't measure anything lower. Weightlifting helps, but sometimes you just need to get the momentum flow and weight distribution down perfectly. Everything needs to be violent yet fluid

[MrHav1k]

How come gliders throw as far as spinners if the spin is supposed to be more effective?

I ask because I'm 5'11" right now and I want to know if in college I should continue to glide or switch to the spin.

[dufus321]

@MrHav1k At 5'11" you should probably spin, if you have a good coach. Most gliders are tall (Timmerman was 6'6") while spinners are shorter (Hoffa is like 5'11").

[offlineri]

@MrHav1k

it depends! if you are a tall guy, glide would probably work for you. you have to be very fast(explosive) for spin. and years of practice, of course. i don't know how many meters is 5 11. lets keep it simple - if youre fast,switch to spin!

[ABabySealClubber]

@offlineri Im 6"3 and i threw glide for 6 years and now my High school coach is forcing me to throw spin, Im horrible at it and i cant seem to Convince him that i need to throw glide, any sugestions?

[MEELATEHGRIL]

@ABabySealClubber Practice both a fuck ton and, if you're still better at glide, show him that.

[jjhnvhn]

@ABabySealClubber your big your suited for the glid show him wht you can do when you glid if hes a true coach he'll help you

[kpetrey13]

@ABabySealClubber your coach knows best

[skigame]

im throwing 16lbs. 35 feet o.O

and my teams throwers dont even have a coach, we had to teach ourselves

[alakazaman]

How come all of these guys look like they have downs syndrome?

[plattupus]

i bet these guys go to ballet to get a good spin

[kriketrules]

I am 15 and a girl. I just won district With 25 feet. Oh and I am not a 'beast' lol

[ilikecorn11]

i can only get 29 ft lol

[KIDBAY1]

i throw 16 pounders and i usally get like 45-50 without the spin

[chiefadian]

i ussually throw my 16 pounder about 45 feet i only throw 12 for my province but i practice with 16 now. i one gold for the saskatchewan province last year and wih hopefully do it again this year

[throws4life]

@chiefadian practicing with a 16 will make you slower with a 12. you should practice a lot more with a 12 than a 16.

[chiefadian]

@throws4life oh really ya that makes sence. cause im not very big thats my advantage is the speed. thanks

[Gamebox27]

@throws4life In high school I always practiced with a 8.8 lb (4kg) shot, even though 12 was used in meets. I wanted to be fast, and really that was the only shot I had at home for practicing in the backyard (the holes went away after a few heavy rains)

[mrjohnjayrambo]

hey 70footer you should make a top10 "clean" shotput throwers haha but love the video

[mrjohnjayrambo]

@mrjohnjayrambo sorry adam and christian are the only one i'll say that are clean in this video

[ShesABaller95]

There is a guy on my track team that throws from 55-60 feet every meet, I knew he was ranked nationally but I never realized that he was THAT good after watching the video. I feel lame now... my PR is only 27.

[Metalr0ck3r]

@ShesABaller95 kid in my state throws 75 ahah

[XxAlfedxX]

@ShesABaller95 what weight do you use

[ShesABaller95]

@XxAlfedxX  I use a 4kg shot.

[Apollo1196]

@ShesABaller95 i feel ya my PR is 27 too

[richboytyson]

i had a track meet yesterday and i was terrible compared to how i usually did

[missourirock]

Did that guy just glide 75 feet? wtf...

[123yordani]

fucking rasit

[MrMeineNamen]

i suck at field events but im great at sprint and distance. the stupid thing about my track team is that we have to do every event in a meet so if u suck at field like i do u totally bomb a meet for your team :(

[tilepile1]

aint no way an 8th grader throwing 50 ft. im throwing 43ft. but aint no way 50 ft. so DaBlaqKid stop lying

[Tanjelly]

@tilepile1 agree im an 8th grader i throw up to 45ft winning 1st place, BUT that is fucking unbielieavable for a 50ft, not unless he takes steroids and fucks himself up

[OzzieLuvr]

I'm a girl in 7th grade and my PR is 24... Lol. This 8th grader named Mario can throw like 40+ ft. Insane. And this 8th named Amy can throw like 30

[unheardrecords]

@OzzieLuvr I throw 42 haha but these guys are usin a ball thats 16 pounds i think i use an 8 pound ball in 7th grade an sometimes a 12 ( i get like 34 ft) with that.

[DaBlaqKid]

Im an 8th grader throwing 4K and i throw 48-50 feet on a good day but my PR is 55'2

[ExcentricGaming]

@DaBlaqKid you should be hitting over 40 your frosh year

[elpe1026]

@StabxWithxPaste I thought it would be better to say I was a girl instead of getting hustled and assumed as being a boy with people shooting comments like "Whoa, dude, you're weak," and whatnot.

[ThePivDude]

I'm a freshman, season just started, and I'm throwing 32 ft with the 12 lb, I gotta lot of work to do to catch up with the other guy in my previous comment.

[wheresdylsan]

@ThePivDude in meets if you ar jv you will just be throwin 10 they just start you with 12 like they did at my skool and dude your season started late bro well how many meets have you done?

[ThePivDude]

@wheresdylsan Well, my season just ended about a week and a half ago, and I've done 12 meets, 2 of them were USATF developmental meets though. I haven't PRed in Shot at all. Yeah, my season was really short, 11 weeks. would've been 12 if I made varsity (I was really close to making it in Disc) and I've been throwing the 12 all season not the 10.

[ThePivDude]

last year one of my schools sophomores threw about a 69-72 ft, I cant remember which, with the 12 lb shot, he's hella good. can't wait to see what he'll be throwing this year.

[elpe1026]

I'm hitting middle 30s. Before you guys pounce, let me state that I am a girl. I want to reach almost 40 by the end of this year.

[littlellamalord]

im doing 38 and im in 8th grade but im a boy

[StabxWithxPaste]

@elpe1026 what's being a girl matter about anything?

[planefreak3]

this is pretty good...im in this sport in high school...it doesnt beat wrestling on the mat at all though...

[ajj1994]

What should be the difference from your power to your full spin cuz i throw 38 powers and 42 full spins?? I think it's too close

[tashtan1]

JR 32ft so embarrassed,but hopefully will get better because i just started 2 days ago

[Icachowda]

im a JR. im throwing 42' 4"

still gotta work on this haha

[MASTERSALAS23]

lol im in 8th grade and i throw 48.9

[chca49]

@MASTERSALAS23 you are lying theres know way a 8th grader is throwing 48.9 ft...wat is the weight of the ball

[dickbob49]

88 pounds

[Gamebox27]

@chca49 Middle schools usually use a 4kg shot where I'm from. Same as olympic women's size.

[bgraham815]

no u dont u faggot haha

[packandclcsuck]

i agree with Metalr0ck3r

im a freshman and i throw 45.

your state must fucking suck at throwing god damn

[crsnschu]

im a freshman and i throw the same. i have no chance at even going to state with that. like 62 ft won state last year

[Metalr0ck3r]

thank u aha

[packandclcsuck]

42?

how old are you...

[BigDogSully73]

Nice shit these guys r fucking BUFF...can't wait for our first meet I hope to hit like 42 or higher.

[detailer0910]

[lilbrooklyn11]

[Slayerthrasher]

[Bigthrower101]

16lb

[allama98]

in 7th grade i throw 23.9 ft lol

[AdaraIsabella]

im a sophmore and i lettered on varsity last year at 38 feet.. no wi throw a 42 foot..i got 3rd in state

[Slayerthrasher]

Then your state must have shit for throwers.

[Metalr0ck3r]

dude im a freshman throwing 42-43 if u got 3rd in state with 42 then u got bad throwers. i dont even think ill qualiy with mine

[irishfuck1]

dude i throw 45 47 and idont even qulify our standard is 48.6

[Metalr0ck3r]

exactly lol

[Jennetteisawsum]

im 7th grade and i throw abt 32 ft

[OwnedLmfao]

@Jennetteisawsum You throw like 8-10 pound balls.

[superbadsam23]

fuck im a sophmore i throw 20 feet

[bigassmf]

this shit aint easy lol

[headbanger015]

shot put really takes practice man.

i got 1st on my second year of playing shot put and it was hard getting to that point.

throwing a 5 kilo metal ball kills, but it all pays off.

[freeleighrandom]

i really suck at this....i think id better run in track then do shotput and throw disks....

[ULTIMATEsoldier4]

im an 8th grader this year in track and i throw about 33 feet, but do you get more power if you throw like the way some of these people spin when they throw?

[klig70]

@ULTIMATEsoldier4, it all depends on the person the world records today is still held with the glide but the spin holds the majority of the modern records, you have to do the one you feel comfortable with, fyi 2nd and 3rd at the 08 olimpics were spin but gold was glide

[MrJerZBoi]

@ULTIMATEsoldier4 well.... it should be obvious bro... these are olympic throwers.. their not using these techniques for no reason bro ... using the spin to throw or the glide clearly is the best way to increase power on ur throw if these guys use it right? yes.

[yogurlterra95]

ok i am 14 years old in the 8th grade and i throw shot put in girls track and field. last year i placed 6th,4th,3rd,2nd,and 1st in the meets. my 1st place measurement was 22' 2 1/2". and looking at these measurements that doesnt seem very far. we throw an 8 pound but i think we are supposed to throw six. so my question is would i throw farther with a six pound? and also does anyone have have any advice on how i can throw farther? because the glide doesnt seem to work for me...

[cdeavellar1]

try the spin if the glide doesn't work for you.

[klig70]

@yogurlterra95 i throw for my college and yes you can throw further with a lighter wieght but you have the right wight highschool goes to 12lb and college to 16lb, like anything else the glide takes work and the spin is very difficult to get down

[klig70]

@yogurlterra95 im sorry girls throw six, but explosion work outs, exchaning upper body to lower, then upper explosion and lower explostion, three or four days a week alternation and then work form every day and one or two days a week doing core, back and mait.

[juniourD17]

shotput is all about concentration and strength.u just need to focus an push yaself to throw the ball farr!!.

[rpblcan]

how far are they if converted to meter?
