Medicine Ball Supine Chest Throw
Equipment
Hold the medicine ball with both hands, extending your arms straight above your chest.

As the ball begins to descend, prepare your arms to catch it and absorb the impact by bending your elbows and bringing the ball back to the starting position above your chest.
Repeat this exercise for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form and control throughout the exercise.
