How to perform it

  1. This drill is great for chest passes when you lack a partner or a wall of sufficient strength. Lay on the ground on your back with your knees bent.
  2. Begin with the ball on your chest, held with both hands on the bottom.
  3. Explode up, extending through the elbow to throw the ball directly above you as high as possible.
  4. Catch the ball with both hands as it comes down.

Muscles worked

The Supine Chest Throw primarily targets your Triceps, with support from your Chest, Shoulders. You'll need medicine ball.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Supine Chest Throw slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
