Wall Balls

Legs & Shoulders

Wall Balls combine a squat with an overhead medicine ball throw. The ball must hit a target on the wall at a set height. It's a relentless conditioning exercise that taxes legs and shoulders equally.

How to

  1. Stand ~1 foot from the wall, holding the ball at chest height.
  2. Descend into a full squat — crease of hip below the knee.
  3. Drive out of the squat explosively and use that momentum to throw the ball.
  4. Aim for the target; catch the ball as it falls and descend immediately into the next squat.
  5. Keep your elbows up and core tight to avoid collapsing at the bottom.
