Shot Put 16 lb | Heavy and Light Training | 128mm

Shot Put 16 lb Training128mm Turned Iron

Perfect for athletes looking to improve technique and speed with lighter weights or improve specific strength with heavier implements.

Key Features

• Diameter: 128mm unless noted

• Material: Precision lathe-turned iron

• Weights: Light to heavy shots

Performance Benefits

✅ Lighter Shots (Speed & Technique):

• Develops event-specific speed

• Promotes faster release mechanics and ring speed

• Ideal for technical refinement and peak performance prep

✅ Heavier Shots (Strength & Control):

• Builds specific throwing strength

• Supports controlled movements 

• Excellent for early-season training 

Coaches can cycle different weights through the training year:

• Heavy shots in the off-season for strength

• Lighter shots during peaking to develop speed

Throwing heavier shots (e.g., 18–20 lb for men, compared to the competition weight of 16 lb) helps develop event-specific strength, crucial for power generation during the throw.

Using lighter implements allows athletes to move faster through the throw, reinforcing speed and rhythm. This trains the neuromuscular system to fire more quickly—resulting in greater ball velocity with the competition weight.
