    i imagine once people stop trying to throw it like that, they will break that record by quite a good bit. (unless its specifically required)
    would still need the spin…
    (smaller person would likely be better when the throw technique changes even…)

    imagine if they hired shot putters into the army but with grenades and RPGs

    • Does It Matter

      For grenades they’d want baseball players, not shot putters

    How “Why it’s almost impossible” videos are made:

    1. Take any current world record
    2. Add 1 unit of measurement to the record

    So I’m a skinny little twig. I used to do track, and I wanted to do shotput. Lmao, i looked so stupid. Everyone else there was so bulky (not fat shaming but they had some muscle) and there was just me, the uncooked spaghetti arms.

    I feel like speed skating would be an interesting sport to do one of these videos on! Also seems like such a high skill-ceiling sport with a lot of technique.
