Oldfield was a beast. He once raced the worlds best sprinters in a 40 yard sprint and outran them. Bowlegged and a smoker, he was the first to master the rotation. Every one else just followed......

Thanks for the video. I have seen a lot of these throwers throw, but i didn't know who they were. Thanks for putting a name on some faces.

Wow,I was a teammate of Kevin Akins, competed against Lehman. We spent 60% of our time lifting in Louie Simmons garage. That's why we looked so good! Seriously I think Brenner could have been the best if not for his injuries.

Austin Perry, EXACTLY!!! Strength means nothing if your form is bad and you have not built up enough torque to explode through the power position.

@irinmar Steroids don't fix technique. These guys still put in a ridiculous amount of time to perfect their throws and maximize their bodily potentials. Steroids or not, that's something that deserves respect.

God those were fun days. Aside from Oldfield, the two next craziest monsters from that bunch was Gregg Tafrallis and Mike Smith...believe it.

Komar was the real deal. After he won the 72 olympic title all the lads went on the lash and took Komar with them. . Fuerbach grabbed hold of two sink bowels in the hotel toilets and ripped them off of the wall. Komar, enraged, grabbed a four set of full height urinals and did the same. Destroyed the facility. Capes told me that. Komar was a regular visitor to his local mental hospital for treatment. He died in a car crash a few years later.

One, post it ( your throw) and try to get a coach or some vids you and someone else can watch and train coach each other on. The Throws are so much visual to explain and teach, it's difficult to read about it and do. If you got the will, the way will happen.
@Al.j.Vasquez12 жыл бұрын
Stop the hate! Come on no matter if any of those(not just randy) used steroids it doesnt means that steroid will make u a better thrower,that relays on the capability of each thrower to improve everyday and learn or evole his own way to do the technique,what is a thrower without technique?? Steroids or not is just a bunch of brute/useless mass.

Kevin Akins, a product of Webster Shroeder High School in Webster NY s suburb of Rochester. Second strongest athlete on the Ohio State Football team as a freshman. He was standing close to Woody Hayes when Coach Hayes struck that opposing payer I threw against him in high school at indoor meets at the University of Rochester and at GRTC track meets at Rochester Institute of Technology. I do not think my 50 ft puts in high school nor my 48 foot puts after ever had him nervous.
