Step-by-Step Guide to Training for Slam Balls and Use in Hyrox

Choose the Right Ball Weight:
Start by selecting a ball that matches or exceeds the weight you’ll use during your HYROX training
Set the Correct Target Height:
Ensure you’re throwing the ball to the correct height for you. Take the time to measure and set up the proper height.
Engage Multiple Muscle Groups:
Slam balls are a full-body exercise that engages your quads and glutes through squatting, while your triceps and delts come into play for the throwing motion. Additionally, the large number of reps you’ll need during HYROX will push your aerobic system to its limit, making wall balls a true endurance test.
Supplementary Exercises for Wall Balls:
While practicing wall balls is crucial, incorporating other movements like thrusters, overhead presses, and squats into your training can help build strength and endurance for the same muscle groups, giving you a solid foundation for improved wall ball performance.
Periodise and Progress Your Training:
To build strength and stamina, structure your training with progressive sets, reps, and weights. A sample workout could be 5 sets of 20 unbroken reps with the heaviest ball you can manage, taking a 2-minute rest between sets. Gradually increase the difficulty over time by adding reps, and sets, or reducing rest periods.

By following this step-by-step guide, you’ll build the strength, endurance, and technique needed to excel in wall balls and perform at your best during HYROX training.
