Instructions:

  1. Begin in a kneeling position facing a wall or utilize a partner. Hold the ball with both hands tight into the chest.
  2. Execute the pass by exploding forward and outward with the hips while pushing the ball as hard as possible.
  3. Follow through by falling forward, catching yourself with your hands.
  4. Immediately return to an upright position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Exercise FAQ

Which muscles should feel like they’re doing most of the work?

You should feel the target muscles working while the rest of the body stays braced. If a joint or the lower back is doing the heavy lifting, reduce load and tighten your setup.

What should I focus on to keep good form?

Move with control and keep your torso stable. Use a range of motion you can own, and stop the set if you need momentum to finish reps.

What should I do if I feel it in the wrong place?

Check your setup, slow down, and reduce weight. If discomfort is sharp or in a joint, stop and choose an easier variation. Think of it as controlled movement done with repeatable, clean reps.
