Ulf Timmermann Tribute

[BusterBallz68]

The one 'Dislike' is obviously Randy Barns after the 1988 Games!

[Jameschocolateorange]

3 words: Best, Shotputter, Ever

[Tj5923]

this guy is crazy good gives me the chills

[KonradZuse420]

If he did the dynamic glide he would have gone much farther. The Legend and best thrower/glider ever.

[bustingballs1]

how does he go so quick ay

[wolfdog45]

hes just so ungodly fast

[nagash19866]

he and Gunthor the best

[ohedd]

The first throw is the fastest I've seen anybody move

[DrugPoznan]

Randy Barnes Cheater

[hombre900]

Damn he's fast

[hombre900]

He's fast

[BusterBallz68]

Don't let that small frame get you. The man was really strong. I know there's a video some where showing him bench over 5 bills super fast.

[cdeavellar1]

well you dont have to look strong to be strong. the strongest people in the world dont look like bodybuilders

[IwontSay]

watch?v=5zdL5vb59GM

this one ?

[Adiokid60]

@BusterBallz68 back then everyone was strong, gunthor, udo, ulf, they all used steroids back then, everyone did, it was legal....

[Bermin8a]

@BusterBallz68 plus the speed of his glide which makes up for so much more when ur an elite thrower like he was :)

[Mooggie75]

3:27 He actually looks like a decathlete.

Amazing that he threw that far with such a 'skinny' frame.

[IwontSay]

@Mooggie75 that guy is 1.93m tall and 135kg :P not that skinny haha

[aeiou99999]

@IwontSay I don't think so. I think he was only 120Kg.

[GluteusKingMaximus]

@IwontSay He was 118kg, Randy Barnes he was around 135-140kg

[leoesharkey]

not 139kg, 115-120kg over the years 83-92, heaviest when young, 1.94m

[mariavasilei]

The best throwers' trainer for 9% fat , is the Chinese

Do Ping ... lol

[therealdishen]

Can you make more videos of gliders? I really enjoyed this one and have watched it 15+ times. 5 Stars.

[fuserag]

Great Video man!!!!!!!!!!

[roccia90105]

Ulf Timmermann weighed 118 kg at 19, after the weight has not changed more in the documents, few know that Ulf Timmermann in fact when he made the record weighed 139 kg of muscle with 9% fat.

[cdeavellar1]

actually 6'4

[VanniliaFace45]

funny thing is that ulf timmerman got caught using steroids.

[Raikage100]

funny thing is so did everyone; Beyer, Oldfield, Barnes

[Raikage100]

havent heard he actually got caught though, only speculation; Barnes tested positive, Oldfield admitted, and Beyer took like 6kg a year

[IwontSay]

that not funny at all.

[Raikage100]

162.5kg snatch

[desembodic]

Imagine if he was a spinner!!! His speed and power was second to none, and with a good spin technique I bet he would have been a 80foot thrower.

[danmoo64]

not necessarily. he had massive legs which are better for the glide. and im not sure if he had the upper body strength like barnes had to do the spin. but we will never know

[desembodic]

glide needs more upper body strength and strength all around to throw far then the spin. So ulf was ridiculously strong, probably stronger then barnes by quite a bit. He had ridiculous speed and power though which made him especially great, I think he could have been one of best spinners if he did it he wasn't too big either like some gliders.

[Himemiya613]

i wonder how much he weighs

he looks a whole lot skinner than the other olympic shot putters

[Raikage100]

about 105kg

[khudlebusch]

I read somewhere (can´t remember where, unfortunately) that his bodyweight was 115 kg.

[IwontSay]

1,94M 118Kg :)

[cdeavellar1]

ulf timmermann one of the besy shot putters ever

[BusterBallz68]

If God is real, his name is Ulf!!! LOL

[cdeavellar1]

idk about that. but ok.

[Raikage100]

if ulf timmermann does it it's worth a try

[JTTFan1994]

is god real???

[JTTFan1994]

is god real

[Raikage100]

greatest shotputter ever for sure

[ohedd]

Amazing athlete.

[wolfdog45]

He gets so much speed off the turn it's not even funny

[damnDworld]

he has the greatest release kind of jab of a boxer

[RockMetalRulez]

ulf is the best

[LordZuljian]

What song is this by the way?

[BusterBallz68]

"One Vision" by Queen

[LordZuljian]

Amazing video.

[BusterBallz68]

Thanks for the comment, I've always been a huge fan of your videos. They've helped me promote throwing to athletes I coach in high school.
