How to Do Medicine Ball Floor Press / Laying Chest Passes

  1. Laying flat on the floor with your legs bent and knees pointing upwards, hold the medicine ball on your chest with your hands at either side.  
  2. Using an explosive press, drive the medicine ball up and away from your chest.
  3. Allow the ball to leave your hands but be ready to catch it again on its descent.
  4. Catch the ball and lower it back to your chest to repeat.

 

Take extra care with this motion! Practice with a very light ball to get the rhythm.
