Few questions I have I didn’t find answers in the forums:
Monday Jump squat- is that just doing a jump squat without weight? How do I apply 20% RM?
Medicine ball work- heaviest in my gym is 14lbs and a 40lb slam ball. Tuesday medicine ball throw against the wall (Part A) I use the 40lbs ball but it seems light. How do I scale up to make these more difficult?
3.Rest time- I saw others ask about rest time without a clear response. I do as needed between 1 min and 2 min. Different recommendation?
It’s a jump with weight, hence the 20%. Either use a barbell (same position as a squat), a DB hel to your chest, or a pair of DB held to your side with the total weight equaling 20% of your max full back squat. In doubt, use less weight.
If you can throw 40lbs against the wall you must be a beast. I worked with an NFL lineman who could bench press over 500lbs and we only used 30lbs… the goal is NOT to throw as much weight as possible, it is to throw a moderate weight as hard and fast as possible
Is there a video that you suggest I look at for medicine ball throw against the wall and slam ball? Maybe I just feel like an idiot when I am doing them, but it is probably because I have incorrect form.
How about a video/form explanation for bear hug carry with dumbbell? I feel like my core isn’t staying tight and the dumbbell is just going to rip my shirt as it is sliding down my chest when I get tired.
I don’t have a video in stock, and I’m not going to shoot one only to give an answer on the forum. If you are having trouble you can do Zercher carries with a bar instead or Goblet carries.
