How to perform it

  1. 01 Stand about arm's length from the wall holding the medicine ball at your chest, elbows tucked in.
  2. 02 Set your feet shoulder-width apart with your toes turned out slightly.
  3. 03 Squat down until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor, keeping the ball at your chest and your chest tall.
  4. 04 Drive up hard through your legs and use that momentum to throw the ball to the target on the wall.
  5. 05 Keep your eyes on the ball and catch it at chest height with soft elbows.
  6. 06 Absorb the catch by dropping straight into the next squat.
