Martin Sports Iron Shot Put, 8 lb

The jump from light to heavy is where most throwers stall.

An 8 pound shot fills the gap, adding load without breaking the technique a thrower has built.

The Bridge Weight: Eight pounds sits between beginner and competition shots. Strength builds without losing form.

Official Outdoor Shot: Listed by Martin as an official outdoor shot. Train with a real implement.

Solid Iron: Iron construction handles hard landings and outdoor rings. It lasts through many seasons.

Practice Ring Progress: Picture a thrower working through a set of puts, each one landing a little farther as the hips start to lead. That progress happens at this weight.

Consistent Feel: Every rep at the same true weight. Coaches can track real improvement.

Add the weight and keep the form.
