ABOUT Al Feuerbach's Basic 70' Shot Put Video:
A great video for "firing-up" beginning shot putters.
The video covers both glide and rotation, grip and placement, as well as weight training for the event.
A great tape, as useful to the 40' thrower as to the 70' thrower.
Presented by Al Feuerbach, former shot put world record holder, with an assist from his friend and co-producer Mac Wilkins.
Al's enthusiasm is catching.
VHS Video Format Only. 24 minutes.
About Al Feuerbach:
Al was one of the most colorful characters to grace the shot put circle. Standing 6' tall, Al was considered small among world-class shot putters. But by honing his technique and bulking up his body to 240 pounds on what he described as "definitely not a low cholesterol diet," Al became one of the dominant shot putters of the 1970s.
Al set world records both indoors and outdoors, and qualified for three consecutive Olympic teams ('72, '76, '80). He missed winning the gold medal in '72 by only 6 1/2 inches. He retired from competition in 1983.
Al’s personal best throw was 71-7 (21.82m) – the world record he set in 1973.
He was born in1948 and attended Emporia State University.
