How to do it
- Stand with your feet shoulder width holding a slam ball at chest height.
- Reach the ball overhead and rise onto the balls of your feet.
- Slam the ball into the floor in front of you, hinging at the hips and letting your arms follow through.
- Pick the ball up with a flat back and repeat for the set time.
Coaching cues
- Use a slam ball that does not bounce, and keep your face clear of the rebound.
- Hinge to pick the ball up rather than rounding your back to scoop it.
