Exactly - the Shot Put - like the other throws events are also just as much as technique

What color nerf ball? Some of those nerf balls are juiced and not approved for competitive use.

I don’t mean to take away from your accomplishment, juiced ball or not a couple hundred feet might be a world record!

Perry O'Brien , the first guy to include serious lifting in his training, revolutionized the event by his attention to torque/body spin in his style maybe 60 years ago. Smashing old records easily.

Takes a lot of rep when learning to put....not that easy a skil.
