Medicine Ball Shoot

By: CombatChaz on Friday, February 8, 2008

Here is a great drill for developing explosiveness in your shot. Here is a video if Eddie hitting this drill with the step by step below...

Step 1

Eddie raises the 16 lb ball above his head

Step 2

Using his whole body, Eddie slams the ball on the ground as hard as he can....

Step 3

As the ball bounces off the ground, Eddie shoots underneath it, trying not to let the ball hit his body

I would tell you what ransom said in english but i dont want the post to get deleted i spent 2 years in ansbach germany it was some of the best times of my life. And thats a great drill if you have a surface that will allow the ball to bounce. Is it a possible varation?

i know you didnt see that one coming but it wouldnt have mattered cause your chin was high and your hands down away!

Wow....its a good thing all mt MB's are extra bouncy!

Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity!

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow"

Gotta say it:

If you can dodge a medicine ball, you can dodge a kick.

I would only try this with one of those supersize rubber balls from Wal-Mart. Bawa....HOLY CRAP!!! Good stuff.

Dude thats dope.

I've seen this done with a partner. The partner slams the medicine ball and you shoot in on them.
I like this one too, didn't think about it as a one person drill. Add that to my to do list when my knee heals.

Thunder

so...I tried this and I went to shoot under the ball and it just hit me on the forehead. I guess my medicine ball doesn't have the same bounce as Bawa's. Great drill though
