Medicine Ball Slam Ball Tips

  1. Engage your forearms and shoulders by gripping the medicine ball firmly with both hands, ensuring your fingers wrap around the ball’s surface. This will activate the muscles in your forearms, allowing for a stronger and more controlled slam.
  2. Before initiating the slam, position your feet shoulder-width apart, maintaining a stable and balanced stance. Bend your knees slightly to create a solid foundation, providing you with the necessary power to generate force during the exercise.
  3. As you raise the medicine ball overhead, focus on engaging your shoulder muscles by keeping your arms straight and your shoulders pulled back. This will help you maintain proper form and prevent unnecessary strain on your joints.
  4. When executing the slam, use your entire body to generate power. Begin by forcefully extending your hips and driving the ball downward with a controlled and explosive movement. Imagine you are channeling all your energy into the ball, maximizing the engagement of your forearms and shoulders.
  5. To protect your lower back and maintain stability, remember to brace your core throughout the exercise. This will provide a solid foundation for your movements and help you maintain proper form, allowing you to fully reap the benefits of the medicine ball slam exercise.
