To win state you only need a 54 or 55. NIck Rivers threw a 53 last year and won by like 3 feet.

By the way the Collins brothers and Joe Ewing all threw 60 plus. Brent Collins is the state record holder for discus 187 10 I think.

It doesn't matter how far he can throw in practice.

45 will get you 6th at best in a region meet. And what you throw in practice is really not a determining factor in competition. There are so many more factors.

I was just sayin this is our first week back. He will get a lot better. He benches 315 so he'll do better than you think.

Bench really has nothing to do with throwing the shot far. There was a guy on my high school team last year who could bench 350lb (can prob bench more now) and I could out throw him by about 5 ft with the 12lb shot. I can only bench about 230lb and weigh 175lb. That's just one example. It's all about technique.

 

Also, Olympic lifts such as cleans and snatches are much more vital to an explosive movement like the shot than bench press is.

 

Lastly, I'm not trying to "dissed" your friend or anything. He'll probably have a great season, but he needs to know that his tehcnique is much more important than how much he can bench.

You must weigh a pretty dang lot.
