12-Week Shot Put Training Program

This document outlines a 12-session training plan for shot put. Each session focuses on an area like speed and strength, plyometrics, resistance or technique training. The sessions follow a consistent structure of warm up, main exercises, and cool down/stretching. Exercises progressively increase in difficulty over the sessions, such as more reps or additional circuits. The goal is to develop all aspects of throwing through a varied multi-week program.
