    Shower yes if you mean in a circle, probably not if you mean catching with a different hand then you throw with. I hurt my wrist trying to catch them without bringing them in to the body,

    I have some video of doing 18 pounds for 9 catches but my upload failed around 8 times so I may not be able to show you. I'm not particularly strong so I assume 20 lbs and up is possible. Hope to show you my video some day.

    Really Awesome Brian!!

    Technically the number of catches has to be the number of objects multiplied by the number of hands to be a qualifying run. This means that the number of catches for two people juggling eight objects has to be thirty two (four times eight) Now this means that one handed juggling needs to be nothing more than 'flashing' (each object thrown and caught once.) Perhaps more discussion is needed on this very interesting subject. Thoughts? Comments?

    Go, Spencer! Looks like Pete's got some friendly competition. Awesome! Do you guys know each other?

    Dan, to qualify a pattern in juggling, one must complete twice as many catches as the number of objects. I this instance it would be "4 catches." Hope that helps with this and future juggling records.

    Pete Our moderator team counted your catches and added the rule re: 9 minimum. Would you prefer to reduce that? Is there a juggling standard?

    • United States David Klausa

      I'm not sure about the ideal number; 9 sounds good to me. What I do know is that it's important to have a minimum number if the goal is maximum weight.

    Brian, I'd have to agree with your second to last comment. You take records way too seriously haha. But that is INCREDIBLE that you did 15 pounds. I have the bicep strength to get toss 15-20 pounds worth but I don't have the wrist strength for something that large in diameter. I'm going to train my wrists and forearms for this one.
