Standing further away from the wall is actually a better strategy for powerful-enough athletes doing wall ball ball. Trajectory sends it exactly toward the intended target and if accuracy is correct, shoots the ball directly back at the athlete’s chest, allowing further cycling. There is no wasted extra effort in overthrowing, and no throwing with cranked necks, or general bad posture.

A look at the week ahead: Power cleans/double unders, kettlebell chipper, deadlifts (maybe you’ll max!), ground-to-overhead/plate burpee/overhead walk, pullups, row/hang power cleans/Pendlay row, the Hero workout JACK, another chipper, and a “Dumbbells For Daddies”.

This weekend is also the Seattle Rock & Roll Marathon, 1/2 Marathon, and 5k. Many roads are closed so plan ahead!
