Medicine Ball Slam
Raise the ball overhead, then slam it into the floor with the whole body; catch the bounce or pick the ball up and go straight into the next rep.
How to do it
Setup
Non-bouncing ball in the hands, feet shoulder-width.
Steps
- Raise the ball fully overhead, body long.
- Slam it into the floor with the WHOLE body folding.
- Pick it up with a flat back and repeat.
Common mistakes
Arms-only slams: the trunk folds; the arms just steer. Rounding on the pickup: every pickup is a deadlift. Bouncy ball indoors: no-bounce or a bruised face.
Breathing
Sharp exhale on the slam.
