Many professional shot putters do that so I'm not really sure what you mean

Btw, when I say competed, I meant he won, I probably wasn't even in the finals, but I was in the competition. 😊

Thank you. That's awesome!

Thank you!

4lbs i want to say

16 pounds

Not quite

Hi there. I am living in the United States permanently, since I got married a few years ago. I am still competing for South Africa and hope to do so next year at Paris. That's good to hear thank you!

All except the steroids sounds pretty good

@@bigburg1 I was a PED-free college shot/discus thrower, and powerlifter/strength athlete into my early 40's. I was also a USPF national ref and Washington state chairman. There's nobody shotputting 65 feet-plus in college without drugs and masking agents. In the 1980's I BP'd 420 without PEDs before 3 certified judges and coached my drug free wife to the USPF Women's Nationals. I was sorely tempted to use PEDs to exceed 500 lbs, but remained Marine-disciplined and didn't. I've known a substantial number of national and world class strength athletes on a close, confidential basis, including the late Brian Oldfield. You're either ignorant or lying about PEDs in modern college T & F. They're all juicing to make throws today in collegiate finals that were Olympic-level efforts in the late 60's/early 70's. The "drug testing" is usually a sham, where college AD's make sure these kids "pass" the urine/blood tests. Olympic and world class sports thrive on phony drug testing because there's too much money at stake without constant improvement in marks every year. If performances leveled off, the TV money would dry up because average viewers would stop watching. Don't BS the public.

It's the NCAA championship. It's 16lb

Sometimes it looks preventable but in reality it’s not

These guys made it D1 for a reason so

It's not that they are scratching preventable scratches... for a thrower it's easy (especially in shot) to see if your throw is any good/your best one of the comp etc. If it's fallen clearly a meter short of your best throw so far, what's the point in having it measured - won't matter in a countback if it's that obviously worse too.

The only thing I can think is. They know they messed up throwing, and they get 3 chances?

Scratch more than me and I just started

i thought so at first too, but that foot didnt touch the top of the toe board.

We did it on the same day

@@bigburg1 wow awesome!

You are correct. The device is calibrated before the competition starts. The positions of the circle center point and the measuring device are already known. The only variable is the marker for measuring the throw. The distance is automatically computed

@@bigburg1 Thanks for the response. Here in NYS at the indoor "lowkey" USATF and indoor high school championship meets, all I see if an official walking into the circle after every legal throw, setting up the tripod, taking a reading, and then calling out the numbers; every single measured throw needs the tripod in the circle. HAH, what was the device setup used for the Millrose Games snafu with the incorrect readings for Crouser and the other elite SP athletes?

Just added it to description

It's a good complimentary exercise for overall upper body strength. Definitely don't focus on it.

Where?

Nah HES good

@UC8QzTnzdHDoesW1vSH-17_Q bruh if u look at his orange she he rubs the top of the board and that is a foul dumb ass

@@ellautu696 chill out bro. Not all of us no the rules. I’m new to this.

It was safe, the orange shoe only ascended the side of the toeboard and didn't go on top. Very difficult call to make in person tho.

That’s a disaster waiting to happen

I mean she has all the space why did she go there...its kinda dangerous especially if they are doing spins

D1 athletes that have been doing this for awhile and rarely scratch throws

Take your time. Don't jump right into it. Do 2 weeks of half turns, then ad some south africans after that. After maybe about a month take some slow full throws. Make sure you hit the important positions (there are plenty of videos on this from throws university on youtube). Good luck!

Nice! I wasn't very happy with my performance there, but still cool to compete with those guys

Thank you! Sterkte!

Unfortunately only half of the comp got recorded😭 I don't know what happened

Speed should come almost completely from your right leg sweep

@@bigburg1 thanks I’ll definitely work on my sweep

and for the power position part with your left foot, it’s so that you can open up your hips more and down the middle instead of your hips being cut off by your left leg!

Good observation. I am very aware of these problems. It's the exact technique problems that always creep back in when I'm rusty. Even when I'm in shape I struggle with it. As for the foot placement on the powers. I noticed that when I was editing. I think I was just misaligned because there's no circle to judge from. I've been trying to make sure not to do that. This video is like 4 months old though. I'm in mitch better technical shape now

Thank you! Hips are unfortunately one of the most important parts of a standing throw as I am sure you know. Other than normal lifting like over head press or cleans. I would recommend that you look on Ryan crouse's Instagram. He did a walking and rotating exercise with a barbell not too long ago that might help. Payton otterdahl also did some rotating movements with a band that he posted on his instagram at some point. Good luck!

Yes, I'm the guy in black and red that won

@@bigburg1 nice job dude!!
