Guys Throwing Med Balls at Each Other

Off Topic

I saw two shorter Hispanic fellows throwing a 10lb medicine ball at each others stomachs…

They would take turns laying on their backs and just spiking it down, like something straight out of the NFL! no one said a damn word to them. (probably because it was funny to watch)

I am just sitting there thinking, what the hell do they think the benefits of this could possible be?

I’m stumped

Fighters will sometimes use medicine balls in that manner on their stomachs, but not spiking them really hard- they more have their trainer kind of bounce them over and over.

Who knows. Maybe they were on meth and bored.

Imagine throwing one wide and having a 10lb med ball slammed on your nuts.

There’s no way I’d do that.

I saw some guys doing decline situps today. At the bottom of each situp, the partner would drop the end of a barbell (no weight) onto the guy’s abs.

Or more terrifying. Never mind what I say though. I would hold a 2.5lb plate over my friend’s nuts when he was warming up for bench. One time I put a 10lb plate on one side of the bar WHILE he was benching(light benching… i’m not that mean). He was really confused afterwards.

Two options.

They were either following this guy’s training program:

Or they were showing off how strong their abs were.

(But yeah, it’s an old-school fighter’s exercise with minimal carryover to the average lifter.)

Maybe they was playing KRACHTBALL

…or not

We do that drill at my boxing gym…does help condition you to take body blows.

I tried that and all it got me was an explosive case of diarrhea.
