" 1,000 POUNDS" 🤯
@JoeKovacsUSA gives some of his greatest lifts 🏋🏼
Bench: 300kg Pause Bench x 2 reps
Squat: "Just over a 1,000 lbs.." 🤯
We'll see Big Joe get after it tomorrow with the rest of the loaded shot field in the Diamond League Final.

I keep getting the question.. what is your favorite hamstring injury prevention exercise? ... Sprint Often !!!
The only thing that loads it like sprinting is sprinting. Don't preach specificity ... practice it.
U.S. Olympic shot putter @JoeKovacsUSA may just be the strongest athlete in the world. 💪
Watch as he benches 320kg/705lbs AND THEN 350kg/770lbs as he puts his final
touches on preparing for #Paris2024
His reaction afterward: “It was easy. It moved well. Could’ve done one more set…I’m supposed to be here for throwing not benching. If benching was a thing here, I could be a doubler.”
Incredible.

@CoachDorry@MTCthrowers@ThrowSumthin@nelsph0119@coachtulua Coach. I put CLR in a spray bottle, spray the shots in a 5 gal bucket let them sit for 5 min or so, then use a green scrubbie to work the rust off. Dry them with a towell. Double up on the gloves.
We wanted to extend our sincere condolences to the family of Toby Keith. Toby quietly, without fanfare, helped support the throws a number of years ago, making a sizable financial donation to help with training expenses of several athletes. A good man gone too early. #RIPToby
