so, maybe not world class, but, don’t kid yourself, i had smaller guys than you beat the piss out of some monsters.
and the ny state record holder was 5’10, and about 180lbs. skinny little kid with a decent build. fast as heck. 67 footer, 180+ disc.
technique, speed, strength. in that order…hmm, doesnt that sound like olympic lifting also?[/quote]
this is not a crticism, so, please do not take it as such.
you are great at what you do! and you are humble!
these are good qualities
my mistake. no money in shotputting. only the thrill of watching the ball fly farther than it did before.
that doesnt excite too many people. just some weirdos like myself.
being a coach of coaches can be prestigious.
crossfit, on the other hand can be lucrative.
whatever turns you on.
i
i was 18 years old. i had this very muscular shotputter (cannonball ahoulders, etc.freak type) come over to me out of nowhere and ask me how much i benched. i said 280- it was my max at the time.
he said he benched 425. i said wow. thats great.
i asked him how far he threw. he said 54 feet. i said wow, thats great.
then he asked me how far i threw. i said 58 feet.
he walked away.
if you ever change your mind. let me know, ill come visit you. ill teach you the shot, and you can kick my ass in the weightroom. lol.

I actually enjoy the shot put… and do not think that I’m in it for the glory… I competed in olympic lifting for 6 years… which is even less popular than the shot put! I enjoy every single power and speed sport… I even wanted to try out for bobsleigh a few years back.[/quote]
enjoy the shot put?
have you thrown it?
does this mean i gotta come visit you to get my ass kicked? 
olympic lifting competitions. what’s the rules? do u get a total of 3 lifts?
or is it 3 attempts. at each weight?[/quote]
You have 3 total attempts, just like in powerlifting. Not three attempt per given weight.[/quote]
that is very challenging! you have to choose the weight to do. you either make it or dont.
psychological discipline must have a very big role in that.
in the throws, you get 3 throws.then 3 more in the finals.
