you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm then you can stream all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf for the last couple of weeks :)
I detest the slam ball. I truly do,. BUT the exercise I detest the most work well for me. Works well when you're in mental contemplation of something. I find this exercise works very well when you're trying to figure out some things in your head.. at least for me. Thank you again for a comprehensive tutorial
Yeah i feel that... i did 6 weeks at a fitness camp and lost 50lbs i incorporate almost everything into my workouts at home aside from the slam ball and i dont see the results in my arms core and leg that i want. GRANTED we also spent seven hours in the gym everyday and im only doing like 1½ but im taking that into consideration. The slam ball seems to be crucial UGH! ALSO if your curious about the fitness program its called live in fitness. Give them a search!
I like to pair these up with the jump rope. Going back and forth between the two for rounds gets you soaked very quickly and is amazing for conditioning.
@@hardbodytraining100 Depends on how strong you are tbh. I'm using a 60lb spam ball for 1-2 minutes at a time but probably gonna upgrade to a 100lb one soon.
I have a low attention span, and get bored easily..but with this exercise (along with other medicine ball workouts) I can go for at least an hour. Thanks so much for teaching this. I also can be outside and do it, AND it helps get the anger out.
The slam ball is my favourite dry land swim exercise. I do exercises after every swim work with my 5 lb slam ball. The target the muscles of all the strokes: fly, back, breast and free. I believe they also work fast twitch muscles.
If you are feeling good, getting results, I would have to say it's not harming you. However, I would also caution you to start implementing rest days so that your muscles have time to recovery and grow.
thank you. got some at a garage sale and been doing a morning walk just carrying one. I just thought of a good spot to do this at the half way point. should be a different animal if can make it a habit. PS keep to do on a step do have to reach down deeper to grab the ball.
I do slamming ball to a tree 1-2x a week in a park near home. After some plyo bounding exercises. But when at home I use the ball as my target for bokken swinging exercise 😁. Bounces well indeed
That depends on a few things. 1. How sever is your DR? 2. Have you done any other form of exercises to repair/ heal your DR? 3. How much pain do you have with your DR? 4. Has this pain increased or improved over time with exercise? 5. Has your doctor advised you against doing any specific forms of exercise?
Why is it that some guys, rather than hinging at the hips, do slams while keeping their body rigidly straight and upright? Is that an alternative method, or are they just doing it wrong?
Nice video this .but there are other ways you can work out with a medicine ball, today I decided to create a Christmas dance workout with a wall ball, not only did it tone up my body but it also worked my stamina it is definitely a fat burner

Nice video.
Slam ball......Starts off weird, then comes the focus, then comes the enjoyment, then comes the addiction. I love my slam ball workout.
Well said! Glad you enjoy it! 🙌
Just brought one today can't wait to use it
Yay! We can't wait for you to try this too 👍👍
I like to pair these up with the jump rope. Going back and forth between the two for rounds gets you soaked very quickly and is amazing for conditioning.
Awesome. The jump rope is killer. Great work.
Jump rope, medicine ball slams, battle ropes and burpees together in a circuit is such an amazing workout
What's the perfect weight for repping out

Its fun! Makes me feel like a kid again haha 😂
Me too.sorry what did you say.
I promise if you do this consistently, you'll be stronger in everything. Especially everyday movements
Thanks!
Really…explain more?
I should get one of these. Looks like great stress relief.
You bet!! 💯
"i've been at it 4 a month now & it definitely got me build up & stronger, love it, put on ur playlist & try it people!"
Awesome. Way to get after it consistently. Thanks for supporting the channel.
That was very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Stay well 💪
I'm definitely interested in picking one up for my home gym. Thanks for the breakdown!
Sure thing. Glad to be of help!
I literally just picked one up today 20 lbs .
I just purchased a slamball. So much fun after a stressful day to slam it on the floor or the Cement wall.
Very satisfying!
Did anyone else notice is his example video he did not do all three extensions? His ankles were not extended.
Right when his voiceover said, "Don't half-rep it." Yes, we were meant to notice that.
Thank you for the tutorial. Excellent info. The mark of a true coach. ☝
You're welcome and thanks for the comment, Jose.
Great tips, simple and effective..!! I'm gonna keep slamming!! 💪👍
Great to hear!
The slam ball is my favourite dry land swim exercise. I do exercises after every swim work with my 5 lb slam ball. The target the muscles of all the strokes: fly, back, breast and free. I believe they also work fast twitch muscles.
Awesome! Keep training hard, Andrew 👊
It does work the fast twitch muscle.
Is it bad that I've been doing these for 30 minutes a day for a couple weeks now? I definitely see a difference in my belly😏
If you are feeling good, getting results, I would have to say it's not harming you. However, I would also caution you to start implementing rest days so that your muscles have time to recovery and grow.
This may sound silly, but it helps me to relax.
Not silly at all, there is inner peace after a workout
Your demo clips are different from your tutorial though.
This is the way I do them, and it definitely feels right, but I see a lot of other fitness channels keeping their feet fully planted.
You're right! Most movements require athletic stances, usually when you're in an athletic position you aren't flat footed 💪
thank you. got some at a garage sale and been doing a morning walk just carrying one. I just thought of a good spot to do this at the half way point. should be a different animal if can make it a habit. PS keep to do on a step do have to reach down deeper to grab the ball.

Good stuff! Keep it up buddy 👍
@@CriticalBenchCompound testing the 5 kg ball whether its rubber will fail after thousands of bokken hits 😁
How many lbs is that ball ?
looks light
i tend to lean backward when i hold the ball up....is that bad? i could feel a strain on my waist when I do that
You need to brace your core, or the weight is too heavy. 💪
@@CriticalBenchCompound does this exercise workout the traps?
Is this tool an effective for aerobic conditioning or just I find a better tool?
Slam balls are super versatile and excellent for conditioning. Definitely a personal favorite. Thanks for supporting the channel.
I mix them in with an aerobic component such as SkiErg or Airdyne bike, makes for decent Metcon conditioning
I’m 5’6 and 157 lbs. trying to get in shape.
What would the recommended slam ball weight be for me?
You're going to have to find a weight thats challenging without compromising form.
I use an 18kg slam ball, because that's the only one we have in the work gym. Is there an ideal weight to use?
This depends on your strength and the exact exercise. 20-40 pounds is good!
What would be the best weight for a slam ball?
Whatever weight allows you to perform these exercises correctly while still challenging you.
45lb is Rx on CrossFit
How heavy of a slam ball should be used?
Choose a weight that allows you to perform these exercises properly but still challenges you.
Can you do slam ball workouts daily?
I would suggest allowing for a couple rest days to allow your muscles to recover and grow.
What weight of slam ball should i buy?
0.75kg and then gradually increase to 1kg slam ball after 6 months.
I’m about to try it, let’s see if my gym even allows it lol
Lol. Let us know how it goes, Justin 💪
Critical Bench Compound I didn’t realize how effective it is for the abs as well lol
When u use a heavier ball
how much kg is the slam ball you are using in the video?
This is a 10lb Ball, find the weight that works best for you!
@@CriticalBenchCompound thanks
Can you use a slam ball if you have recti diastisis?
That depends on a few things.
1. How sever is your DR?
2. Have you done any other form of exercises to repair/ heal your DR?
3. How much pain do you have with your DR?
4. Has this pain increased or improved over time with exercise?
5. Has your doctor advised you against doing any specific forms of exercise?
I like to throw it up hill, run up to it, pick it up and throw it again until I've reached the top of the hill.
But u didn't do it correctly during the clip when you're shirtless 🤣
They have slam ballls that don’t bounce and you don’t want to slam a medicine, but it will bust sooner or later
Why is it that some guys, rather than hinging at the hips, do slams while keeping their body rigidly straight and upright? Is that an alternative method, or are they just doing it wrong?
By not doing the triple extension, you will not get the full benefit of what this exercise can do for you.
In order to get the full benefit of doing this exercise it's important to keep hinged at the ankles, knees & hips when performing this exercise.
How meany Calories are burned ?
2.45 what about ankles? Is not really important?
He said don't half rep it, he's showing what not to do. Oh you write this 3 years ago...
4 sets of 25's 100 reps all together It's my 3rd day do I need rest days or can I try for 30days straight 😂
Thats a TON of volume, I think its possible but id make sure that your body is rested and you're not beating yourself up too much.
@@CriticalBenchCompound so if I do 6 days take 1 day off a week
Would have been nice to get some explanation and reasoning to back up these "benefits."
We appreciate your feedback.

Looks pretty safe for youth athletes.
