[@blob440]

thank u so much for posting this! I'm studying this every day for about a week now and my spin has already become so much better!

[@CarlosLikins]

This is great! Being a collegiate thrower, I wish there were a lot more videos like this. Technique is vital in college (unless you're a brute who can bench 550+ and squat 700+), and watching these slow-mo vids of the rotation helps, in addition to the coaching.

[@Vishi5]

I've been a glider for a couple of years and now I am trying to get the rotational. This is some good and helpful stuff. Thanks

[@nekkari]

Big thanks for putting up this video!

[@stevenpatrick2926]

what a flow, what strength together with smoothness and flexibility. great !

[@packfan1227]

very good video, thanks

[@sniper6636]

woah guys got a badass here.

[@Rodriguezx123]

same here

[@Slime2112]

HE STEPED OUT

[@chadcite]

Barnes used a spinner standing throw, its considerably lower than a gliders standing to full throw comparison. The equivalent for a glider would be a 20m standing throw, which 70foot gliders can do. C.J Hunter for example could standing throw 20m although he's a spinner he used a gliders standing throw.

SUPER LYK

[@antradienis]

@kcvcramer not quite discus footing. but it depends what you do when u throw discus :D

[@chadcite]

thanks, my english is a bit better now :-)

[@70footer]

@kcvcramer Randy threw 71 feet as a 19 yr old in this video....went on to be the world record holder at 75'10'' , still stands 19 rs later...he IS the best ever.

[@stanislavmatvienko3172]

@@epickleuva no brain cells at all

[@epickleuva]

This aged well

[@chadcite]

do you actively swing the left are to increase rotational speed in the spin ?

[@rketer]

nice vid were did you get it from

[@PewPewLazerViking]

If youre ridiculously big like Christian Cantwell sized, I'd stick with glide, but smaller guys usually have a better time spinning. Spin is going to be overall more productive, but glide will serve you just fine.

[@EssenceofWombat]

what exactly do you think "discus footing" looks like as opposed to shot footing?

[@tough5hit]

@kcvcramer well yah no shit hes using the discus spin, they use it for both. and he did throw 71 feet when he was 19 thats no lie.

[@hukanoobi32]

@therealjtgt he wasn't suspended for life lol he was put on suspension until he could pass a drug test and then came back clean and still won the olympics.

[@DenmarkNo1]

It seems to be easy, but it takes a lot of time to control this technique.....You have to practise a lot to gain.

[@aeiou99999]

@kcvcramer Your coach failed to tell you that almost every serious shot putter these days uses "discus footing" as you put it -- or "rotational shot put method" as it is officially called. The glide is old school, although you can still do well with it.

[@szalairobi]

He's runing with head. a shot putter

[@bungiedude99]

your cool never heard of you and where did you go to school 1a?

[@generalpershingm2656]

ive practiced this for 7 years

[@oliverzamora7253]

.

[@hukanoobi32]

check what chadcite said

[@hukanoobi32]

@therealjtgt Not until he could pass, actually. They just suspended him for two years. My bad. I got my facts mixed up.

[@dadbod614]

is this at Ohio State's French Fieldhouse?

[@SuperOlds88]

well there ya go, just imagine how far he would have thrown if he was using "shotput footing"?

[@70footer]

gimme back my bullets by skynyrd

[@4921602]

@kcvcramer ya i throw dicus and javelin and shotput ...and runn the 400 800 900 1000 2000 and preaty much everything and iv been doing it since age 4 soo ya im preaty sick to just like u

[@chadisbad6]

On average how long does it take to learn this technique? Self taught/little instruction from a Gym teacher.

[@jordanvargas1694]

Self taught can take take a lifetime if you don't know what your doing

[@chadisbad6]

I've got a good understanding of what I am supposed to do, and was planning on recording myself, and comparing it to videos of skilled shot putters.

[@jordanvargas1694]

Guts, The Black Swordsman comparing yourself to other shot putters can only get you so far eventually you gonna have to modify the technique to where you are comfortable cause its impossible to copy another shot putters technique since everyone is different

[@chadisbad6]

Agreed, season has now passed, and I bombed provincials. I had a throw that would have won me gold. However, I lost balance and scratched. I need a lot more practice on execution.

[@kylebadgero419]

Chad M Ive been working on the spin for 2.5 years. I haven't worked on it all 12 months, I wish I did. But I only practiced it when it came time for the season. I still have small things to work on, like driving off my left leg, and not being over rotational. Which causes my throws to go far right and out of bounds. :/

[@Snakebite142]

0:56 SCRATCH sorry i couldnt resist

[@MacMoe49]

WTF? xD He holds the world record and u will told us he stepped out? Okaaaaaaaaaaay...

[@PORKCHOP101190]

It could easily be 71 feet,i know,my uncle threw with him,my uncle threw 68ft

[@chadcite]

I don't think so, he throwed 2" more than ulf timermann, but its my belief that the thrower who puts consistenly is the best. ulf timermann has the most throws over 22m so in my mind he is the best ever. Not taking anything away from barnes WR but the numbers that ulf put up trumps barnes.

[@throwerfan22]

@magiata93 I definitely wouldn't consider randy barnes a skinny guy.. haha

[@hukanoobi32]

@agentbobbarker A true testament to the beauty/size/strength of his thighs lol

[@hukanoobi32]

@kcvcramer Nobody cares to hear your bragging, stop trying to act like you know better than RANDY BARNES. He's kind of the greatest thrower to ever live. No big deal or anything, he just holds the world record and has one of the most effortless and efficient techniques EVER, as 70footer stated in the description.

[@therealjtgt]

@70footer ... and he was suspended for life for using anabolics ...

[@stanislavmatvienko3172]

И шо далее?

[@andyspizzaplanet]

@kcvcramer so? the rotational technique is what the u.s. has mastered. so youre wrong when u say discus because the technique can be used for both. and no one cares u threw varsity at age 12.

[@67mttjns]

lol u would know? hes the olympic and world champ

[@cornnellify]

@kcvcramer I revisit thi comment every few weeks. I'm still laughing my butt off. a quick google search would have helped you, kid.

[@TheRockyrocks68]

jeeeze... he does not look 6'5...

[@123Dolemite]

No matter how much you trained and used steroids you could never do what he did. He didn't take your spot in the record books. Get off your high horse.

[@aeiou99999]

@kcvcramer You have embarrassed yourself. Despite your self-described wealth of experience, you have failed to recognize world class form and a former world record holder. Perhaps there is a life lesson for you in this?
