    Front squat is my favorite movement. I can front squat 315 pounds at 180 Bw. It's a great exercise that helps a lot of explosive movements. I've found that since I've been doing front squats, my sprinting has improved drastically and my overall functionality. I just started training for shot put today and I'm able to throw a 10 pound medicine ball about 25 feet from a standing throw. I'm excited to try it this year and I'm glad i found your channel😁

    When I have access to a gym I do leg presses, and love the results. But, I travel 8 months a year in an RV and mostly do weight bearing exercises, heavy duty resistance bands and dumbells.

    Hi Dane! When i used to shot put (not as a shot putter, just part of my training) i noticed that dumbbell pressing (the standing one arm db pressing) was really helping me out on throwing the put. My question is: is that a valuable lift to improve throwing for long term results?

    500 pound bench sounds just too crazy for me, as it was always my weak spot. Fortunately I heard that David Storl had a bench PB of 350 pounds when he was winning worlds in 2011 with 21,78. So there is hope for all those light tall gliders including me haha

  • @STBRetired1
    @STBRetired1 Před 2 lety +1

    CALLING ALL MATH MAJORS - just how much do you have to bench press in order to launch the shot 70'? Granted, the faster you try to launch the 16 lb shot the more force is required. But, there must be a Force (X) at the proper angle that will launch the shot 70'. Now equate that force to bench press poundages. I know that people like Reese Hoffa used to put an accelerometer on the bar when doing bench presses to make sure that he was accelerating the bar at maximum speed each rep. The big variable in Bench Pressing is the speed. Some guys can lift 500 lbs in 10 seconds and some guys do 350 or 400 lbs in 3 seconds. So, who is going to be the better shotputter? My guess is the speed demon. He's working on fast twitch muscle fibers which are needed to fast accelerate the shot to maximum distance. But it would still be nice to know at what maximum poundage and at what speed you would need to bench press in order to launch the shot 60', 65' or 70.' That way you wouldn't be wasting a lot of time and putting yourself in unnecessary danger by lifting more weight than is required. 300 lbs is probably safe but 500 lbs could cause shoulder and cartilage damage that means pain for the rest of your life.

    Hi there, love the approach on this video. I am not too familiar with the age groups as you refer to them, but I think high school means 18y old or thereabout? I have a promising female shot put / discus athlete, age 17, 5 ft 10 and about 11 stone. But if I get you correctly, she's already behind on the power: how much should she bench / clean? Currently she cleans with 135 lbs, bench about the same. Do I understand correctly that it should be a lot more? Over 200 lbs?

    Where were you in 1965 win I was in High School? Just joking we had nothing but terrible coaches basically jerks. Had limited weights until my senior year. I got my strength from lifting 400-500 bags of concrete in two days. Sometimes lifting 3 at a time to impress. My main problem was choking. I’d ask our coach how do stop it. The jerk, would just say, “just don’t choke.”. To this day I say I was cheated out of winning our area shot put final on my last throw I released a put that landed 58’11”. 12lb. The best I had ever done in practice was 54’. The viewer overseeing the ring was the leaders coach. He said I touched the side white circle line. I didn’t. His student won it with a 51’11” Throw. I Never equaled the throw again. I did go over 50 ft with 16 lbs that summer but decided to quit. The use of Steroids everyone was starting to use pissed me off. Hell even the guys that won in city high school were using. . You can’t compete against steroid users.

    0:07 why TF do you say "We're going to start right now" and then do another F'n intro when the video actually starts in another 30 seconds.... you do it every video. Please stop.

    This guy talking about 405 bench like its nothing. Few elite naturals can ever get there without getting fat as shit, otherwise you have to take drugs

      Shotputers are always extremely large. If you are some 180-225 bodybuilder or something you probably won’t hit it naturally but if you weight 255-355 then it will actually be pretty easy down the line.
