Medicine Ball Sit-Up Slam
The medicine-ball sit-up with the feet against a wall: the ball is thrown at the wall near the top and caught on the rebound.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, legs straight and apart, the soles against a wall, the ball held overhead on the floor.
Steps
- Sit up, swinging the ball over the head.
- Near the top, throw the ball at the wall with both hands.
- Catch the rebound and roll back down with the ball overhead.
Common mistakes
Throwing before the torso is up: sit up first, then release. Catching with stiff arms: let the elbows give as the ball comes back. Dropping back to the floor with the ball: lower slowly and set it down behind the head.
Breathing
Sharp exhale on the throw.
