Instructions

  2. 2Begin by winding the arm, raising the medicine ball above your head. As you do so, extend through the hips, knees, and ankles to load up for the slam.
  3. 3At peak extension, flex the shoulders, spine, and hips to throw the ball hard into the ground directly in front of you.
  4. 4Catch the ball on the bounce and continue for the desired number of repetitions.
