High School Shotput-44'10

[jdo114]

I throw 42 and bench only 135

[larryf128]

Wow i feel special now im thowring 49 as a sophomore

[MrgotPump]

today i side threw a 42", im like WTF NOW WAY!!!! then i realized im using an 8lb shotput

[prsguiatplayer]

i throw 19 metres just muscling it, i have bad form also.

if i had the speed, i'd be throwing a lot better.

im 18, bench 335, weight 206

[jmaxwell98]

I'm 12 and my best is 43' 7'' with a 4 kg shot

[Kairikh12]

no ofense but i compete whith 13 and 14 year old girls wh throw 44 feet and there not in high school yet.

[Zyanerak]

if i were you, i'd focus on fixing one thing at a time, starting with the easiest and most obvious steps.. for your glide, one thing i wouldn't do is cross your left leg behind your right calf, because you want your body and power to travel STRAIGHT across the ring, not sideways.. just remember, your legs and your kickback will be your path to get to the powerthrow position, and unless you line up sideways i wouldn't do that

[Nephiguy1]

huh... sophmore, i threw 47' 1" last weekend from a power throw... and 49' 0" in a glide. i only bench 225 and i squat 365. form is everything. everything else is nice.. but form form form.

[thelongshot1996]

to day was my first day throwing shot put and i was about 26 feet and we were not dooing enny glide steps or enny thing just twist and throw

[cbassassuraus]

im 5'7 160 and i hitt 44'10 ur weak

[lebur36]

well maybe your just a tank

[jjlhro]

u gotta keep ur head up and chest

[armil365riza]

When you get to the front of the ring..you have to open up more. Open up your chest and head up. It looks like you're tucking your chin in.

[daintypictures]

my dude jimmie pacifico thre 71

[kohkahkohla]

nice throw, but a few minor problems

1. your right foot could be dragged under you a little more - meaning have most of your weight loaded on that right leg for more power.

2. try to sit back more when you start the glide. it seems too rushed to begin with. the key is to accelerate the shot, not to go fast in the beginning, but gradually get faster as the throw progresses.

over all nice throw

Current Year: High School Freshman

[mannin1992]

[ihavelotsofriends]

[arog210]

i threw 48 from power.

lol big deal.

[decleet54u]

i watched someone throw 61 ft for shot and 161 ft for disk

[rushsummers]

my friend jack dennis has broken our school record and his record around 11 times he is currently throwing around 176

[bkloeblen]

my pr is 72'2 at penn relays

[llennroy]

says nick vena

[arog210]

i did track only my senior year, first time ever doing shot and discus

came up with 52-1 in shot

and 130 in disucs.

not bad for never doing it.

my form is horrendous too

now that im throwin in college iv been really working on it, so far pr is 47 with the 16lb.

this gusy form is pretty bad. obv,

[kraft04610]

state qualifer- 55'7"

[jmelt53]

my form is worse then this, and i my farthest this year is a 47'2" im hoping to bust 50 by the time for regionals, and place in the top 8 with bout a 52 for state.

[StunnaShades66]

sorry i mean PR

[StunnaShades66]

i was just there 3 weeks ago or so and though i didnt throw my farthest i won 4th place and got a medal, PI this year is 52'4, i threw 48'9 at that invintational

[Gintama78]

does pr mean personal record

[Advillll]

yeah

[Aleks5656]

not bad man. your form sucks but your still launching it. get that for to par youll be hitting high 40's. i suck this yeat im only thowing 40 as a junior but as a soph i threw 45

[awellthoughtoutname]

he needs to keep his shoulders back as longer, he lost most of his power when he started turning when he glided. I went from 41 feet, to 46 feet in just two weeks by practicing this

[williamwinterhaven]

he needs badly to learn to have his foot under neith him when he reaches the power position.

[bigjm4]

he had no tech what so ever the only reason he throw it that far is because he id strong

[lilb631]

i throw 5kg or 11pounds wat eva yuh wanna say i throw the same distance 13.78m is my pb :D

[skaterpimp940531]

nice, but ur hooking ur leg its a quick pump back and forth it will help alot trust me

[PewPewLazerViking]

Just some constructive criticism: You might want to work on your quickness across the ring. You have the size and strength part down, but a lot of shotputting is how fast you can rocket into that power position. I'm a 5'10 210 lb thrower. Fairly small. Definitely not your size. I bench around 325 lbs, and squat about 500 lb. Not big weight. My PR is 45'1" with glide. I'm telling you this because everyone tells me I would be throwing 30 feet if I werent so quick across the ring, its important.

[DWah40]

dude you bench 325 you should get throwin it past that....even thou yer that qucik across the ring..thers a kid whose 185, and benchest mayb 225, but throws 65 sme feet.

[PewPewLazerViking]

Shot put and discus both have very little to do with bench and squat strength.

Mainly it has to do with: A. Technique (obviously)

and B. Power clean, jerk, and snatch strength which i happen to to have none.

My cleans are around 185-200 lbs, and I have never done jerks or snatches.

[lilpete2009]

bull shit bench press has nothing to do with throwing you opne up your chest at the end to throw useing all of you chest and shoulder muscles you should be launching it out there around 65

[PewPewLazerViking]

Not true, read ANY article or ask ANY good coach and they will tell you the excercises that help you to control your weight in the ring (IE. cleans, jerks, snatches...) are the most important lifts by far.

[lilpete2009]

yeah control your weight.... for balance and can help develop proper technique but honestly you ask any coach if you can 325 you should be able to het at least 60 in highschool unless your form is that shitty

[PewPewLazerViking]

What part of "MY form is shitty" didnt you get? This was my first year throwing, so I've thrown shot for maybe a month or two.

[llennroy]

pretty unbalanced I think. I clean 205.

[chadcite]

yea, I do 231 from a hang. Power cleans and jerks are more important for overall power in shotput

[thunderg111]

@DWah40 yea im with you man. my max bench this year was only 260 but i threw 56. speed is a big factor. but bench doesnt matter much at all. its more about legs and hip power.

[chadcite]

lies, lol I've never met a shotput with all those stats combined with speed and throw that short distance with a 12lb shot. Im 195lbs 225 bench and 315 squat and I throw 47ft

[llennroy]

power=/= speed. For shot put you need speed in your snap not power. NYC is pretty shitty i think since the last winner put 49. He benches 350.

[chadcite]

power in regards to biomechanics is the ability to gather as much strength in the shortest amount of time, or just plane pyshics work/time.

[llennroy]

dammit, I'm almost exactly your size. 5'11 195. I'm 15. I bench max 225 "healthy" but no where near beastly. I squat 435. I pr'd 40 ft 9. It was my second meet after 3 months training. I'm working on the spin.

[llennroy]

boy, I grow fast. 44'2 this afternoon

[llennroy]

PR babay. 45'8.25. I hope to break 50 this year.

[revshadows7]

@PewPewLazerViking hahaha i loved how you said "not big weight" thats funny cuz like your sort of downplaying it making it seem like you could do more its funny its funny i shit my pants literally laughing and also made urine

[xXDAMEDXx]

@revshadows7 Ya and how is that small if i could squat and bench that much i would be throwing 55????

[revshadows7]

@xXDAMEDXx i have NO idea how to respond to that

[stuart7337]

@PewPewLazerViking your right but as 6'2 and 200 at finals for frosh i thru 48 just muscling it not even glide or spin and im only benching like 200

[rockallnite53]

what helped me alot when i was stuck at 45 was to focus on keeping my shoulders back as long as possible. i jumped from 45 to 48-49 after a couple of weeks of working on that

[bigjoshscherer]

is this Canyon high, as in Jerime Anderson Canyon High?

[DWah40]

naww. canyon country.

[bigjoshscherer]

ohhhh, gotcha, like JJ DiLuigi Canyon High

[DWah40]

riightt.

[DWah40]

thankss fer all the tips and critism, its helping, send me a msg if you have anythin else to add

[FunyColors]

i think he threw well, i mean as far as keeping his chest hi he could work on, but he threw it hi but he had a good glide and

[FunyColors]

i think he threw well, i mean as far as keeping his chest hi he could work on, but he threw it hi but he had a good glide and

[Belagerung07]

Get back with me, and we'll talk more. I threw in hs-jsut graduated. I got up to the low to mid 50's my senior year, and threw 160-ish in disc. Went to state with an injured ankle and didnt do so well, but it happens. I plan on throwing in college next year...I love throwing, and I think its great that you are throwing.

[Belagerung07]

And yeah, keep your chest up when you go to release, it was down...try picking a focal point before you get set that is realtively high, like a cloud or other land mark, so that when you pop your hips out and release, your chest and head are high, and it will give you a few feet more.

[Belagerung07]

You stayed low starting outyou were all over the place though-get set when you get in the cirlce right off,dont over adjust your self and bounce around a lot-be solid. Your main problem is in your gather/transfer phase.You dont really glide,you are supposed to land with your left foot hitting first and not drag your right foot and lose all that momentum and power.You threw off your back foot.Stay low,then a powerful kick,land square-dont drag,then hips,chest,arm,reverse-in that order. Help?

[jmm121884]

bad form

[DWah40]

thankss, i throw varsity noww.and im already throwin farther..but thanks.

[tugboat0970]

nice throw....keep your chest up and out, and swing your free arm through the air as high as it will go as you are throwing, and whip it around at te end. you should get an extra few feet.

[americadabayoo]

horrible form if you ask me

[DWah40]

thats why i didnt ask you..plus first year throwin still got the rest of this year and 2 more

[villinousone83]

dylan is so great, he is the best ever......

do some push ups fatty. brad
