Medicine ball slam

How to do it

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width holding a medicine ball with both hands.
2. Raise the ball overhead, extending your body and rising onto your toes.
3. Contract your abs and slam the ball into the floor with full force.
4. Follow through by bending your hips and knees as you release the ball.
5. Pick the ball up from the bounce or floor and repeat the movement.

Common mistakes

• Using only the arms instead of the abs and lats
• Not bending the knees when slamming and overloading the lower back
• Throwing the ball forward instead of downward
