What a champ. That throw was great. Also thank you Flo'da boy for making threads about non-distance competition. It's nice to appreciate and discuss other aspects of our sport besides just distance running.

Indeed. Thank you, Flo'da boy.
Ryan was a 120 8 minute miler before he started Xfit and switched to the paleo diet.
Thank you guys for the kind words!
If there are any doubts that throwers are some of the most athletic people on earth here are some videos of Whiting's workouts from his youtube channel:

Beast Mode.
Marshawn who?
That kind of looked like a foul and you are retarded islind it's the shot put not a race whatevs USAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It wasn't. Via the IIAF website:
"In order for the put to be measured, the shot must not drop below the line of the athlete’s shoulders at any stage of the put and must land inside a designated 35-degree sector. The athlete, meanwhile, must not touch the top of the toe-board during their put or leave the circle before the ball has landed, and then only from the rear half of the circle."
He did not violate any of these rules.

HAHAHA. I love it when our big guys throw to gold!
Happy for the dude, he seemed really pleased. Shot put is iff to have it on the day sometimes.
It's IAAF not IIAF duh i really thought storl would win....... 22.05 is pretty bigtime
A Duck oh my god I didn't know you were here
Oh and here's another video of him doing some rotational exercises which might be useful for any aspiring throwers out there (he has a bunch of technique videos out there as well but I don't understand the shot put very well).

And he can probably beat Marvin Bracy to 10 meters. Shotputters are about the most explosive athletes out there.
I notice a lot of single rep lifting. Is he doing Abadjiev training?

I have no idea, and I also had no idea who Abadjiev was until I just looked it up, so for those who are clueless like me here is one explanation I found:
http://articles.elitefts.com/training-articles/the-abadjiev-method-part-1/Just watched the video- so much class! He threw the shot
And was like, 'yup, I know'. Liked how the other shot putters congratulated him too. Makes me wish my boy christian was still around
That second video is kind of freaky. Seeing a huge guy with that kind of agility is like seeing a dangerous species in the wild.

Yep, agreed. I don't follow track events but we're all in this together, so I support those dudes.
Thanks for the spoiler.
D is this some sort of idiom or do you actually believe this?
