World Records

All the world records in are sport are special. But what events record is the most special. so basicly if you could hold one of them what would it be. In my eyes the 56WFD is the biggest record. That 56 is SOB to throw and it says alot to hold that record.

HEavy Hammer.

My most favorite event to throw!

Come get it, hater!

Masters 45-49 42 throw .........well , south of Mass.........damn you Stewart , damn you to hell.

I think it's either the open stone, or 56 STANDING for height.  The 56 for height has been contested by so many epic strongmen, etc.  It's just pure stinkeye horsepower.  People in just about all strength sports know about and I bet most have tested themselves in it.

Yeah, it's the 56 WOB (standing of course) 

I really mean this when I say it:

I mean NO disrespect to you STUDS that can spin that thing up high.  That is not an easy task.  I have tried it.....  It's just that for Soooooo many years it was done standing only and so many amazingly powerful people did it that way and that way only.

Hater!

I've always liked the 28 record.

I always found that event the most challenging.

To combine all the speed and all the technique for a good throw...

Oh, and that 25 lb. sheaf? It's on...

Just to be mentioned in the same breath as Pickles was the highlight of my night. That was until I realized High School Musical II was on!!

hey mr. natural, dont forget one of the greatest standing WOB throwers of all time MATT SANDFORD! [and phil martin wasn't bad either]

For you strongman types the Standing wt-4-ht is a no brainer (pun intended) ....marry the right girl (long arms) ....get your snatch up too 325-lbs.  ----dead lift close too 800-lbs ....you'll throw 18-feet....I find it EXTREMELY  borrrrrrring and as a technical coach the easiest to teach.

 

CABER...ANY spinning event...hammers...sheaf (spinning) then standing...kilted pillow fight...kilted mile...standing wt-4- ht....cement head walk....

 

 

I think the hammer records are very impressive, 156 light Bruce A. and 129 heavy Matt S.   No one has been close to these.  That means that Matt Sandford had the speed and velocity on 22lb ball about like most of us have on a 16 lb ball.   Larry and Eric are great hammer throwers and still are 12-15 feet away from 156 in the light.  The hammer takes some serious practice time, flexibility, core strength and of course technique.  They take my vote.

Wayne - It's not too late.  Adopt Craig's training approach and rejoin us on the circuit.
