Medicine Ball Overhead Slam

Target Muscle

Equipment

1

Lift the medicine ball above your head, fully extending your arms and keeping your back straight.

2

In a swift and controlled motion, slam the ball down to the ground in front of you as hard as you can, while bending at the hips and knees and engaging your core.

3

Squat down to pick up the ball and return to the starting position.

4

Repeat this process for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.

Pro Tip

Avoid Overextending: A common mistake is overextending the back during the overhead lift. This can lead to back injuries. Instead, focus on engaging your core and keep your back straight throughout the exercise. Choose the Right Weight: The weight of the medicine ball should be heavy enough to provide a challenge, but not so heavy that it compromises your form or causes you to lose control when slamming it down. If you notice that your form is suffering, or if you feel strain in your back, it may be a sign
