Great video. I thought I saw you out throwing a couple times over the summer. That's my house in the background 😂

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Awesome! Next time i'm out there feel free to stop by and say hi!

[@justyg5049]

no shot. get it

[@joyce120860]

After many years of the glide, I just started with the rotation technique, very helpful vid, thanks !

[@keegankennedy1789]

I know I’m a little late to the party but I’ve watched a couple of your videos and you give really good advice! Our team didn’t have a coach for throwing this year and I’m heading to regional competition tomorrow (somehow) I just want to say thank you for everything!

[@connorbreivik9695]

Woah dang me too

[@keegankennedy1789]

@@connorbreivik9695 it’s like we go to the same school or something! crazy.

[@JGstrongman5317]

Just starting the rotation at the grand old age of 62, never done it in the Shot before, so this video is great thanks.

[@carsonengland1856]

Just now learning how to spin after 5 years of gliding this helped a lot thank you

[@reddjustaguy1598]

Thanks man! This video helped me a lot. I was a powerlifter who transitioned into weight lifting, now I'm transitioning into shot put. This video really helped me nail the rotation

[@cakel7896]

The extra part at the end is a very helpful addition as it helps to see it is full motion and add ur flare.

[@laughingd4518]

I just watched the full tutorial on how to throw the shotput and led me here. Very informative video, really appreciate it 😊 Hope I can do the full rotation soon

[@karenfletcher3153]

By far the best explanation of the spin that I've seen. Thank you.

[@Oilfielddog]

Coach this a great way to teach the spin to the beginners!

[@dlai5702]

Love it thanks , even through I'm a glider it's good to have knowledge about rotation

[@p.pgamers9214]

@D Lai what do you think which is better rotation or gliding ...

[@vernblohm9895]

Great 4 step approach. Moving my son from Glide to Rotation. Best I’ve seen. Bula

[@CaptainSuperFantastic]

Great video! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge in this simple step by step format!

[@elijahboi2233]

This helped a lot as a 14 yr old and I just wanna get better at discus and shot I will defo be watching your discus videos too

[@prreviews9768]

Thank you John for another incredibly informative video. I will make sure that all of my throwers in Thrower Strong Training watch, study, and drill this video. I really hate that we missed your Virginia session. Hopefully you and your coach can make an appearance sometime in the future. Maybe we can get you down for the throwers only polar bear shot put throwdown in January.

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Thanks! What is the date for the polar bear shot put throw down?

[@prreviews9768]

@@johnbowmandiscus we are confirming by Monday. I will message you on Instagram

[@vernymendez2830]

Interesting and very explanatory video, perfect to put it into practice!

[@RobertSantos-rw8dy]

Well demonstrated coach..

[@WhateverE]

Thank you for this. I learned this while In track practice

[@SnakePlisskkenn]

Are you still doing virtual 1on1 coaching?

[@km6731]

Is there any benefit to getting as low as possible as long as you're rigid to create more drive at the launch. Are you low as possible or low as comfortable; or could you go lower?

[@nevaehg.7437]

Here because track season got cancelled last year and I lost any skill I had haha

[@blastx4863]

Due to corona?

[@DivyakBanjare]

Thanks, the video made me throw shotput more far😀😀you are a awesome teacher

[@Renalshh]

Can you make a video explaining a combination of gym and training, I have to teach myself this sport because nobody can help me get better around my country

[@cadeyoung4406]

[@Renalshh]

Well, it’s been 2 years and now I train badminton jajaja, you tell me!

[@Jryderkinsey]

What shoes do you have

[@energyexecs]

...Excellent breakdown. Can you make shot-put Tank Tops and Shotput long sleeve t -shirts? I am ready to order if you do! Thanks

[@LRBGamingYT]

Senior in HS never have thrown im doing the power throw and i tried glide but cant throw it as far, I hopeing this helps as I have district next week thanks!

[@Jd15299]

How’d it go?

[@LRBGamingYT]

@@Jd15299 well my best is a 41 but at district got no sleep the day before and only did 30 and did not make it. I did make it for discus thou and only threw for 2 weeks. Lol

[@screenIess]

you can step over the guard?

[@Frost_WolfXD]

Thanks this helped me a lot

[@akflemvincent9835]

What are the benefits of taping your hands together, as you have in the video. Does it help flick the shot, or is it there to give your throw more strength?

[@OfficialWageGap]

The goal with taping fingers together is to support them, as more force is applied to the shotput it puts a lot of stress on the fingers. If nothing is applied to them, most likely the fingers will break or tendons will tear.

[@lucifer88morningstar]

Will try to implement this. Will connect with you if any issues. Thanks a ton. love From India

[@chrisandaprilthomas306]

So I have no had coach for throwing this helps thanks

[@dashman4207]

[@prafull456]

Sir How many throws per day

[@JayNBadarM]

Very nice 👌

[@nickabonker3564]

Thanks for the help man!

[@Miductions]

Hey, this might seem weird but I’m having serious trouble with the glide. I’m able to do the spin and basic throw, but my coach is giving me the shit for my glide. Any pointers.

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Here is a good video about the glide that I made with my coach: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZnOan9phcejZsk

[@stevearnold2855]

Whats your PR for shot?

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Officially my PR is 16.39m but unofficially I've thrown 17.40m 💪

Awesome 👏

[@samuelarailoajunior696]

Awesome video

[@rjrudrayt3352]

Thanks sir🙏🏻

[@drakehatch9171]

I just have one question, if anyone ever see this. Isn't stepping outside of the ring a scratch/failed attempt? I just need clarification because I plan on using this method to go to the Arizona state finals. If anyone would reach out, that'd be lifesaving!

[@aminedaki9158]

This is what I found: The athlete may touch the inside surface of the circle or stop board, but must not touch the top or outside of the circle or stop board, or the ground beyond the circle. Limbs may however extend over the lines of the circle in the air.

[@Oledude60]

Awesome

[@Ari08]

Never heard of spinning shot before, I typically just glide

[@kailiu3263]

Thanks it helps me alot

Damn it, im so bad at the glide that im learing to rotate

[@rafshaanahmed6856]

Are u an national player

[@vincekillingsword2100]

I still cannot doing the rotation maybe I need to practice more harder than before

[@cobbler88]

I've gotten the best advice from this channel as someone who just started competing in shot put a few weeks ago as a "senior" (50+). I completely understand why the video had to be shot this way. With one camera, it seems like the best choice. I think it would have also helped if there could have been a few overhead shots. At times it became a little difficult to figure out the body positioning at the end of each of the steps, going into the next, and to nail down the orientation of the circle.

[@johnbowmandiscus]

A.J I appreciate your support! I agree, some overhead shot would be really helpful. I think getting a drone is in my future. That will help create some really useful shots.

[@kikihm5426]

It great 😊 !

[@sadanandtepugade3861]

I like sir shot put video

[@tylernestor2431]

Used your video to show the mrs shot put. Looks like you stepped out a few times lol

Bro i did 7 meters and i thought it was fine

[@jamesonbaker2950]

Throw shot in comp with us

[@bencenters3957]

I personally think that if you put a more linear intent once you hit that South African position, you’ll hit those positions a lot better, and you’ll be more powerful

[@emeff959]

Alright! You gonna mess around and qualify for shot when you arent even trying to! 😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆

[@prasadajitkumarpradhan1279]

No good coaching in India

[@timingtamizhan1904]

Can you teach how to increase strength to throw pls🥲

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Yes, I’ll put together a video on that 👍
