How To Do A Standing Overhead Medicine Ball Chop Exercise Demonstration Video and Guide
The Standing Overhead Medicine Ball Chop is a great explosive exercise that pulls in a lot of different muscles, especially the core.
To get started:
- Position your feet just outside shoulder width, with your toes slightly pointed outward.
- Grip the medicine ball with two hands, and hold it with arms extended above your head.
- To create the wood chop movement, bend forward at the hips, swing the ball down and between your legs while maintaining a natural arch in your back.
- As you swing the medicine ball between your legs, think of it as hiking a football to the quarterback.
- Then without letting go of the medicine ball, quickly and explosively reverse the movement back to the starting position.
- Repeat.
