Medicine Ball Slam — abs compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Medicine Ball Slam

Compound · Weight × reps · Time

Use a nonbouncing slam ball and clear the floor around you. Let the ball settle before picking it up with a squat or hinge appropriate to its size. Start light enough to coordinate speed and position; a heavier ball is useful only if it does not slow the slam into a press.

HOW TO DO MEDICINE BALL SLAM

  1. Hold the ball with both hands, stand tall, and lift it overhead by extending through your ankles, knees, and hips without leaning back.
  2. Drive the ball straight down as you bend the hips and knees, keeping your trunk braced and your face out of the rebound path.
