Reese Hoffa 2008 Beijing Olympics Shot Putter Team USA

[ASOD2010]

Im 5'8" and i throw the shotput 40 feet. Geeze these guys are beasts

[BestOneEver123]

How is 6ft on the shorter side!?!

[aeiou99999]

@BestOneEver123 It's short for a top-tier international shot putter. Further, he may be a little under 6'. Adam Nelson is also 6', but guys like Cantwell are 6-5, 6-6. And the huge Polish guy is over 6-8.

I'm about to throw in college. I made it to state with a power throw. Reese has inspired me to SPIN LIKE A MAD MAN!!!!

[kr3w0019]

[MsScorpion452]

[OSUisme]

i throw about 56, 16yrs. went from 43 with glide to that with spin...... in like a month no joke.

[Davotology]

[idesicratei]

@Davotology whats your personal record? mines 42 ft with a highschool 12lbs shotput, im 14 lol

[paintball4symbolizm]

@idesicratei bs, post a vid lol

[idesicratei]

@paintball4symbolizm ok, ill do it in a couple of days. we just got finished with district so track is over anyhow

[flyinguitarman]

@idesicratei unless if youre lou ferrignos poop you cant throw that at 14...

[Davotology]

@idesicratei

my best with the 12lbs when i was 14 i threw 43ft not far from you.. but when i turned 15 i improved my distance by like 13ft to 55ft . cause i switched from glide to rotational. and i also got in to the weight room a lot more. but i'm sure if you keep up the hard work i'm sure you'll be a great yourself someday :)

[idesicratei]

@Davotology i use the glide too. im only a freashman so next year ill be using rotational. but thats next year lol

[Davotology]

@idesicratei

im sure you'll do fine in your throws.... just keep doing what your doing.. Good Luck..

[ttravo]

@idesicratei ha i threw 43 foot and im 15 and a first year shotputter. lol iv only been throwing for like 4 weeks in my whole life and i can throw 43. i only bench 215lb too.

[katrinski]

[BeasltyFry]

I love Reese Hoffa, he is short and 1 and if not the best shot puter currently throwing for the olympics. And he can solve the Rubik's Cube he is AMAZING, just like Randy Barnes.

[kornfan140]

Reese Hoffa can solve a rubik's cube?!? Hes definately my hero now, even though i bet i can solve one faster lol

[TheBruiser012]

@kornfan140 So this man, can throw shot, can solve the rubik's cube and can do 5 cartwheels in a row? Yhup, hes defo my hero too.
