SHOT PUT TECHNIQUE ANALYSIS-HS world record 81 '3" CARTER.

[bigjoe1234100]

as a sophmore if i am hitting 38' consistantly (winter season) what will i be hitting by the end of spring

[KMAN77538]

@bigjoe1234100 41' feet easy. just try and get your balance in check and the glides alot easier

[wood201253]

@bigjoe1234100 if u keep lifting hard and work on your expulsiveness(hang cleans, clean and jerk) you will probs get maybe another foot

[ShotDisc100]

I just love all these "60 foot" freshman throwers considering there all the 60 foot throwers are in their sophmore year or higher. Maybe there mixing up feet with inches.

[thebestnegrawh]

Do they sell shot put balls?

[ironmike092471]

Canada's man of steel.

Dylan Armstrong.

Gold in Doha.

[coolwhiteguy1]

if i had a dollar for every pixel...i would have one dollar

[VILEHOG]

@coolwhiteguy1 haha

[HopperProductionz]

heyy wat was he throwin his FRESHman year!! cause im throwin 40ft an its my first year...check out my videos!!-thnx

[sampsonelectro2224]

amazing throw. the question is... does the record fall this year to ryan crouser?

[Flipnutt]

@sampsonelectro2224 I've been wondering the same thing. Watching Ryan throw is an amazing thing to behold. It makes what Carter did in '79 seem just that much more amazing.  I think Ryan can do it, but getting that next 4 feet is not going to be easy.

[odefuziionv]

Damn he is a beast...

[xanadanBwow]

I thought i was good and i throw about a 45.

[TheMusicArchivee]

Yeah, umm, I can do that.....

[weasel348]

Fairly sure someone with the spin will be hunting for the record. Slowly but surely spin is taking over!

[Pasc9]

my current college coach used to coach michael carter, the guy benches like 405 as a warm up

[rcenior]

im stand throwing 15meter thats 49 .12 feet and i m not good with the technique

[xanadanBwow]

@rcenior pics or it did'nt happen.

[TheBruiser012]

Jacko Gill will destroy this record soon.

[4inches4u]

@TheBruiser012 He is a pussy. I can put up more than that skinny bitch

[TheBruiser012]

@4inches4u the guy is only 64cms of the record et by Carter, he's only just 16 and weighs about 90kg at 6'3" - go learn shit about the guy before you try and talk it.

[ZSH2K10]

@TheBruiser012 No he wont.

[TheBruiser012]

@ZSH2K10 bro, Gill is throwing 23.86m at 16 years old and 95kg. He's already throwing the adult shot 19.22m. Carter's record won't stand for... I'd give it 6 months for Gill to break it into piece. And Crouser will come along and take the American record.

[ZSH2K10]

@TheBruiser012 Is Gill a Junior or Sophomore?

[TheBruiser012]

@ZSH2K10 he was born 1994, December 16th I think.

[guardboys]

wow i throw a 12 54 feet and i thought i was beast -.-

[TheZeeland1]

i'm throwing 39 feet, 15 years old. but only 1 year on atletics. good ?

[hunter25797]

@TheZeeland1 Oh yeah your well on your way. Keep lifting and working on your form you'll hit mid to high 40's no problem in the next couple years.

[member201]

@TheZeeland1 Dude you fuckin suck dick im freshman throwin 62 feet bitch. only my first year nigga.

[rrrkjj]

@member201 wow arent you just the toughest piece of shit out there.

[ebonefails1]

@rrrkjj lmao

[sum182wrestling]

@member201 Yep, lets just randomly claim to be of jr world competion standard, be racist and swear about it - everyones going to belive you.

[Draquoe]

@TheZeeland1 definitely not bad. my first year of shot i was 16 and threw a 45, this upcoming year is my second year and right now i'm throwin around 51, 52. just keep at it and hit the weight room plenty, keep throwing in the off season and you'll get some huge throws sooner or later.

[jornovich11]

@TheZeeland1 Zozo dat doe je goed hooor :O Do I know you ?

[dirge555]

@TheZeeland1 dude thats beast i through 29 at 14 im more of a discic

[BlueGuru11]

Whoa. That's just ridiculous.

[avenue745]

would 25 feet be good for 12?

[Bergred]

@avenue745--Yes. Especially considering the amount of computer time kids spend---just doing it says alot during these times. congrats...

[The6mmHunter]

I only throw like a 32', but Im getting better! haha still kinda far from 81'3 though....

[intodustanddeath]

@The6mmHunter-Get shotput shoes, it makes all the difference.

[Paperpirate456]

@intodustanddeath does it really, ive wondering weather to buy some

[intodustanddeath]

@Paperpirate456-There are some shot analysis vids on you tube, showing the spin and the glide, those will really help too. The shoes reduce friction in both making it so the spin and glide are smooth and the momentum is not stopped. Good luck.

[gm5217]

haha thats crazy far like 81 feet on a bad disc throw for me...thats far as fuck for shot lmao

[ExcentricGaming]

@gm5217 i konw same dude thats out of my schools shot circle buy 15 feet

[ExcentricGaming]

Nick Vena might catch him he throws 71 as a junior

[Dodgeboy426HEMI]

@1Nvinc1BLE nice, good luck hope you get it!

[Piznick64]

i only throw 39'5 my pr i need 42'6 but next tuesday (my senior yr) last meet ever

[Dodgeboy426HEMI]

@1Nvinc1BLE im a junior but this is my FIRST year throwing so next year im hoping to do alot better. i do wish i started track freshman year though.

[3420RIDGE]

[Dodgeboy426HEMI]

damn that is awesome. i throw the exact same way in my meets and today i got a 36.3, i thought it was pretty good.

[jazmencharzs]

wow so amazin music is really touchin

[orioneriksen]

Dude, I can barely touch thirty feet. Eighty? I got some training to do.

[laytoncc]

@orioneriksen ummmmm yeah you do

[CorBinKaY76]

and he did the glide.....awesome

[mann0311]

wow great gliding technique and great spots that were paused, you really can learn alot from this vid. good info good vid :)

[bravebacker]

very outstanding technique

[chuyuy10]

LMAO...zaktanowns123 is right ...seriously wft i cant see shit

[imQaQsped]

what a surprise a giant shot put thrower. shot put throwers arre always the most relaxed and nicest people

[zaktanowns123]

I like the part where I can't see shit.

[MrHav1k]

@zaktanowns123

lol

[poopspoopspoops]

@zaktanowns123 really? me too!

[TheConman27]

I'm in track and i love it. I like discus and shot put.

[flexyfork]

@TheConman27 the jav is where its at

[TheConman27]

@flexyfork yea, sadly our school dosn't do javalin. :(

[izallskilfoo]

he's a gigantic black man, oh what a surprise....

[MrJSMITH79]

thats a beautiful throw. I thrown over fifty and im a sophmore. I guess it something to aim for.

[sambudwiser]

nice! you're doing better than me XD i'm having trouble getting past 30 feet :P

[hukanoobi32]

Not you Tommy, @TheBabyfatness23.

[Tommy93200]

High school shot weighs 12 lbs. College is 16lbs.

[funkyjaloppy22]

atwood REAlly??? idiot

[AtwoodCooper123]

How heavy is the bALL/

[TheBabyfatness23]

high school is 16lbs

[hukanoobi32]

You're an idiot. High school is 12, everything past is 16.

[Footballar09]

high school is 16 pounds i think they get up to 20

[irishfuck1]

my first meet i threw 42.10 and thats just becuz i was nervous

[izallskilfoo]

@Footballar09 nah high school is 12 I don't know if olympics is 16 or 20 though i think 16

[imQaQsped]

olympics is 16

[tashtan1]

@Footballar09 i think its 12lb because thats what we have in OHS

[y0h0h00]

@Footballar09 it's 12 in high school. collegiate is 16

[sampsonelectro2224]

@Footballar09 no... high skool is 12... college/pro is 16

[monkeyboy0908]

haha im 16 my junior year first time throwing with a 12 this season without practicing and it was a 37footer today i just threw 39feet 6inches on stand throw ive only been putting since last year!. . . and the song is by Creed

[MsKyle4life]

what songs this

?

[CMAN99957]

wow he is crazy good!!!! wish i could be this good!!!

[jophu]

That's scary

[bigjoshscherer]

you know I think Mike Carter's form might be the best glide form in the world. I know Ulf gets alot of credit, and he deserves it, but Carter's glide is just so damn biomechanically perfect

[Tanjelly]

I was wondering if this is a good throw. Im in middle school 8th grade and i throw to 38ft.

[Jurikeh]

What weight ball do you throw? 8 lb or 12 lb if its 12 then yes it is good for an 8th grader. I didnt start putting until I was a freshman but I was throwing 40ft by the end of my freshman year.

[chaosgrunt22]

@Jurikeh its 8 lbs for 7th and 8th

[cdeavellar1]

it's ok. need. work

[ozzy91792]

o one more thing wats up with the guys from the 70's? at my high school the record is 67'3'' and guess wat he threw in 76 wat are we doing wrong nowadays?

[sergilus]

@ozzy91792  The food that we eat, your technique, and your coach has a role in what your doing wrong. Some coaches know more than other coaches, but it also falls on the athlete to do his/her own technique training. Dont just practice when you have to. Practice when your not doing anything important, watch video comparisons and video tape yourself also.

[ozzy91792]

this video makes me feel like shit, im one of the best throwers in my state and im barley scratching 50ft. however my form does suck, i wish i had his technique

[FUZZEYHIPPO]

Lol, im gonna be totally honest. This isnt the best song for a shot put video...lol. Its a great song tho. But anyway......Is the rotational basically the same as a south african spin?

[ozzy91792]

its close

[DaHBoys]

his daughter has the texas record haha

[peepeestinky]

I fucked his daughter's stinky pussy.

[DavvidFun2NO]

and the national record for high school she was a beast also

[decadyne]

absolutely superb technique. i'm still a glide fan.

[jps22692]

i broke my high school record with 45 hes a beast

[MrJerZBoi]

@jps22692 wat the.. lucky... my highschool record is 59... wtf lol.. i got 44 2day

[bqfootball]

im a shotputer in middle school he is amazing i can only throw 27

[65meanmachine]

oh thats cool , i used to do it in middle school and broke the school record like 3 times in a row :)

[DJKHOTTA]

exelent dude,i am shot put thrower and i love it,i am 18,and i just started, the tecnique of carter is great.

[tuckstaer]

the glide tecnique im doing the spin one lol

[chadcite]

damn carter's technique is soo good. I don't think people realise how efficient his technique was, it rivals ulf's , if anything I think his h.s technique on that throw is better than ulfs 21.37 from the top gliders video.

[TeamDiscus]

This clip has almost as many wiews as the high school WR length in meters. 24,780m

Nice feeling in the thecknique

[secondlife2]

So im a highschool sophmore and our seson will not start till february but my PR Freshmen year was 41feet 1 inch. i am currently training(off season lifting and conditioning) im throming a constant 45feet as of now. if anyone has any tips or workouts that will help me they are greatly obliged.

[ic3man296]

im a sophomore too. last year i threw 42'5''. Do sprints.

[stormbuffalo]

Ah, the good ol' days, when men were men. And boys were men too, apparently.

[christian86a]

@stormbuffalo On time when there was no good doping tests..

[ZSH2K10]

@christian86a He wasn't on anything you jealous fuck.

[IwontSay]

@christian86a and camera's

[OMGitsTrey]

Holy Crap thats far.

[dimsow]

Whos the singer...?

[HelloIamBarnsy]

creed-one last breath

[aynrandgirl]

Scott Stapp, Creed

[sergilus]

What are Randy Barnes, Michael Carter and Brian Oldfield doing now? where have they gone, i mean are they even still alive? last i heard michael carter played pro football, got a champion ring and then stoped cause he had so many injuries. I mean carter could have been the world record holder......

[azielenski]

I don't konw about Barnes and Oldfield, but Carter is still alive. After his career with the 49ers I believe he retired to TX.

[1220amsoulradio]

in high school at 5'8" and 165 lbs, I threw 51'6" in a meet and 53" in practice using the glide technique back in the year 1975. The rotational method was just being perfected by Brian Oldfield. We had a team of eight shot-putters and all of us threw over 50 feet, with my colleague at 55-56' but he was 6'1" and 210 lbs.

[joshpanther58]

i dont care what anyone says mike carter was not taking riods if he was he would have been ridiculously ripped and as you can clearly see he wasn't he was very big and stong. and I was at the place were he set the record that still he holds today, the place looks totally different it is awsome to have been there i will be there again next year at high school nationals as a sophmore it's fuckin awsome man.

[valjew]

i guaruntee he was on steriods. muscle tone depends on diet and what kind of lifting youa re doing not steroids.

[dundra12]

cooooool lol i love this dude!

[DarthCupcake]

u guys cant brag about what u throw on this videos page. cuz u aint got shit on what michael carter throws bitches.

[metsfano44]

nice job to that dude!

[xoxlibbyxox9]

i threw 31 ft 4 in when i was a freshman. But im a girl :) Discus i threw 92 ft 4.5 which i beat my own school record.... which was set in 1977.... I made it to WPIAL qualifiers and then to finals but screwed up before states :( Maybe next year......

[jkid101]

wow just awsome but im pretty sure he was on steroids and enhancers but w.e still absolutely perect form ... and tallguy921 im also a freshman PR'd 50 and i did fairly well this season got 3rd in districts so keep it up its average juss hit the weights hardcore

[nickybadboy50]

It wasn't like these days. People rarely even heard the word steroid back then, let alone took them. Sure they were around but with Carter, what you saw was all him and no ones come close since. If he had concentrated on the shot instead of football he would hold world records at all weights.

[tallguy921]

im freshman in highschool i benched 295 squat about only 380 cause if bad knees but hit 46ft 4 with a glide n now im practicin spin got 45ft 9 with it in 1 week of practicin dont know how i match up to other freshman in highschool

[llennroy]

My bench is 225. I've thrown 50 with the glide. You need to work on speed and technique cause with 295 and the speed to match you're capable of mid fifties if not upper 50's

[yorkie4life2]

freshman here i PR 43ft with glide i only bench 200 and squat 225... i have a back problem...

[thecoachroy]

this record was set in 1979 at the golden west invitational..i saw carter throw 79'10 in fort worth the same year..no high schooler has thrown over 76'2" since 1990 brett noon nick vena...is the best i have seen since...but hips are too slow to get this record

[sergilus]

nick is going to get even better, i mean if hes hitting 72 feet at his sophmore year. thats only 10 feet and 2 years to make that PR. but yea ur right .

[Rjrussell93]

Just.... wow.... that far at high school level... wow...

[chadcite]

crazy thing about carter he had a tiny squat and bench in h.s. It was his explosiveness that got that shot out so far . I reade in an article on macthrow he benched around 280. To throw over 60ft these days you need to be in the mid 300's plus.

[yorkie4life2]

i only bench 200 and throw 40... freshman tho. :) maybe when im a senior if im luck i could break 60. 50 is our school record.. :P

[llennroy]

even crazier was that he was a skinny sprinter before body changes stopped him from running properly.

[chadcite]

sprinter ? never heard of that before

[ap1234512]

let me get this straight... he was in high school wen he made this record... at 81 ft, which is a world record right? WTF the current best kid at my school is a junior and he only throws 48ft... which is NOTHING compared to this guy. so does that mean he could hit a possible 90? assuming hes kept up w/ training

[xfootballx1]

Not necessarily. This guy is a legend for a reason. He had a lot of natural strength and the sheer mass of him helped a lot.

[stluciferchrist]

I'm sorry but he is a freak. Not in a bad way of course, but how many high school kids break 80? I know a guy who was 6th in the Olympic trials and he only threw 67 in high school.

[AlloutRage]

of course he is a regular human being its just he was a inspiration to all younger thrower like take for instance nick vena he is throwing 72 feet and hes a sophomore in high school so it would be incredible if nick beat 81 feet 3 and a quarter inch throw senior year

[johnsokb]

isn't he Michelle and D'Andra Carter's Dad?????

[AlloutRage]

Sh4cks the only reason people call him a freak is because he was a mammoth like 6 foot 4 and almost 300 pounds

[Sh4cks]

well, he is still not a freak lol, he is a human with an amazing skill.. I bet many people don't think like that

[llennroy]

i bet alot of people sigh at your oversensitive comment.

[Sh4cks]

damn... this is the best shot put technique i've seen, he is amazing.

[SuperLoha]

Great video man.I too want to throw like him. Wonderful

[Rjrussell93]

My idol.....

[SimonOlaOla]

What's the song called?

[yorkie4life2]

Creed - One last breath says it at 0:13

[Sh4cks]

Wrong.. But it's right it is from Creed But the name of the song is Six feet from the edge

[HelloIamBarnsy]

na it's called "one last breath". the name you are thinking of is just a nickname kinda thing for it

[tiger76in76]

There's a kid in NJ doing 72'. He's a sophomore.

[yorkie4life2]

that kid is a freak not trying to make him sound cool... He is seriously a freak.... like a monster.... An abnormality... get it? Thats why he throws so far...

[tiger76in76]

Freak or not he can punch them out

[Sh4cks]

Lol? tell me why he is a freak, he is a human being like everyone else...

[yorkie4life2]

Hes a freak no reason to explain... Like michael phelps winning gold medals at a young age when people have been trying to do win a olympic gold medal with 10-20 years training.

[SuperLoha]

I can smell that you are jealous of him.He is the best shot putter.  If you dont know how to throw shot put atleast dont say others.you freak

[yorkie4life2]

im not jealous i could hardly care im 10 and i rdc about this but my bro does it and hes a senior throwing around 65...

[coolkidsdocoolthings]

he also had olympic training since he was around 5 years old

[tiger76in76]

The coach at one of our local high schools tells his new kids each year that parents don't give their kids shot puts when the are little they give them baseballs. He tells them this when trying to get them to "put "the shot not throw it like a baseball. I'd like to find a couple of young kids that I could teach young and stay with it.The coach we have now at the school I went to sucks.

[fearlessRFggg]

damn!...did you how far he throw at 2:48??...just look carefully in the air and you will see it.

[bignick4591]

prolli 81'3"

[cdeavellar1]

no not . thats only 70 feet

[billieshakes13]

Holy shit i did see it

There has only been two spinners to win the gold medal ...the first spinner to win a gold Randy Barnes in 1996 - then Harsu (finalnd) 2000 - but in 2004 - Urkraine guy - glider - 2008- poland glider.

[tspark54]

Is there an athletics forum on the net where people can talk about techniques and distances etc? anyone?

[Opie852]

yea theres a few, just google it. i know of some but i cant remember the names

[cdeavellar1]

micheal carter actually threw farther the 81 feet 3 inch. there was high school meet right after he graduated high school and hit an even bigger throw that was like 83 feet but since he just graduated high school the throw didn't count. but either way you put it; micheal carter was one of the best shot putters ever

[rgc62]

The golden west meet where he threw 81 was actually after michael carter graduated for high school.

[yorkie4life2]

no it wasnt... in the olympics they even stated he threw 81'3" and a little more like a quater inch.

[doinkclown]

its the high school shot put record. look up the nations farthest throw in U.S. for HIGH SCHOOL. It's a 12 pounds shot

[Metalr0ck3r]

Schultz98 tthis not a 16lb shot, so it is possible this was and 81ft throw

[MikeyB115]

yea well see that mountian over yander. well i usta throw a shot put over it back in '86 yelp
