Have you ever tried Shot Put?

[perkele]

Went to the field today with few buddies of mine to throw a shot put, and damn I've forgotten how difficult it is. I remember throwing about 9 meters long long time ago, and now I threw 7.6 meters (24.9 feet). Not a bad result for a guy my size, but damn I got beaten by my buddies. Two of them got close to 10 meters and one over 8 meters. As I loser I had to run 2 laps around the track. Next time we will compete either in a long jump or high jump.

By the way, mens shot put weighs 16lbs.

i threw discus and javelin in hs. . .i learned how to throw the shot but i was like a buck-seventy as a senior and our shot putters were all 220-plus and threw like 52 feet. . .correct me if i'm wrong but i think the hs boys shot was 12lbs and the girls was 8lbs. . .16lbs is college and international competition weight. . .

No, but I discus threw a 10 pound bag of wine (when I was angry) and wretched my arm badly. It still hurts like hell.

First time I ever tried throwing shot I was geting about 13m without the glide and dislocated my elbow after several throws. Never tried again.
