Standing Overhead Medicine Ball Slam.

Make every rep count.

1. 01

   Stand in an athletic stance: feet about shoulder-width, core braced, chest up, and knees softly bent. Hold the medicine ball at your chest.

2. 02

   Drive up tall through your legs, rising onto your toes as you reach the ball straight overhead. Keep your ribs down (don’t lean back).

3. 03

   Exhale and snap your whole body down: pull your arms down fast, hinge slightly at the hips, and slam the ball straight into the floor in front of your feet.

4. 04

   Stay balanced and ready—catch or scoop the ball on the rebound with soft knees, reset to overhead, and repeat for reps.
