Medicine ball throws aka how to get banned from your gym

I just tried all of these. I pooped myself twice, peed myself once, my left testicle exploded and I killed 3 people doing the overhead medicine ball toss. Other then this, I feel much more athletic.

I did my medicine ball throw and it landed on an old lady walking on the tredmill. I hope I get an athletic contract so that I can afford a good lawyer!

Why isn't the seated calf raise and wrist curl in this video?

@00:56 Thank you for mentioning this. I've seen so many videos on the proper stance, and all have their own recommended "right" way to execute the squat.

Damn bro. You got a really tight shirt on.

Obviously you need to take enough time to learn how to do the clean properly, but once you do, the clean is absolutely the best lift for developing athleticism. It requires using all the major muscle groups in one explosive burst, as one does in sports, but just as importantly, the clean trains the NEURO-MUSCULAR system to fire along the correct pathways through the body's core strength, increasing coordination, explosiveness and reflexes.

This man is a REAL strength coach.
These types of coach understand that Power is a product of Strength!
Unlike those coaches who think single leg pistols or wiggling around medicnie balls make an athlete better lol

Please lower the volume! Trying to focus on what you're saying is difficult with the music so loud.

Kettlebell swings have the same movement as overhead medicine ball throws, and nothing is flying through the air.

[newolympiangod]

I already do this and their a lot of fun they drain you quick but they work.

[oodles]

If I deadlift, I should wait 48 hours to squat? or just to deadlift again...

[aquaticsplashes]

I'm just really curious what do you do for in between these kinds of workouts on rest days? Can you still lift or go for runs?

[fitlyfe]
