Training Tips

  1. 1

    Catch the ball and immediately drop into the squat - no pausing

  2. 2

    Use your legs to generate the throw, not your arms

  3. 3

    Aim for the center of the target consistently

  4. 4

    Break it into sets: 25-25-25 or 20-20-20-20-20

Common Mistakes

  • Using arms to throw instead of leg drive from the squat

  • Resting with the ball at your chest - put it down if you need to rest

  • Shallow squats - go below parallel for a good rep

Sample Workout

For time: 75 wall balls (race weight and height). Rest as needed. Track total time.

Equipment

The Wall ball (6kg women, 9kg men) + 3m target is what you'll use on race day. If you're training seriously, having access to race-day equipment makes a real difference in your preparation.
