I do have to ask a question, based on the fact that most shot putters and hammer throwers seem to have a lot of heft.

How is having that heft an advantage?

I would think the added momentum from a heavier would impart more force and distance on the throw. But maybe not if a muscular body could even more.

Stability, maybe.
