<< PREV     NEXT >>

• Standing three to five feet away from wall, facing it, cradle light medicine ball in both hands
• Rotate core and shoulders to right for “loaded position”
• Explosively underhand toss med ball against wall
• Catch rebound; decelerate ball; rotate core and shoulder to left for “loaded position”
• Repeat explosive underhand toss
• Continue in alternating fashion

Sets/Reps: 2x8; work toward 2x16 [one toss is one rep]

Coaching Points: Translate force from ground to hip to ball // All rotation comes from hips up // Don’t pivot feet // Focus on increasing elasticity, so avoid dipping shoulders while rotating
