About this exercise

The medicine ball chest pass against a wall is an explosive upper-body exercise that trains pushing power through the chest, shoulders, and triceps. The wall provides immediate rebound, allowing continuous rapid-fire reps to develop reactive strength and muscular endurance.

  • Keep your elbows bent and fingers pointing upward
  • Explosively push the ball toward the wall using both hands in a chest-pass motion
  • Catch the ball as it rebounds off the wall, absorbing it into a loaded position at chest height
