A shot puter should follow a shot put program :), not a football or olympic lifting program.

Shot puters first need brutal strength in all the muscles of the body. Staple exercises should be:

  • Bench press and incline bench press
  • Push press
  • Back squat
  • 1/2 squat
  • 1/4 squat
  • Romanian deadlift
  • Power clean from blocks
  • Power snatch from blocks
  • Barbell rowing

Do not use all these exercises at once! You can use a modified pendulum approach…
