Chest Push (multiple response)

What it is

This is an explosive kneeling push that uses a medicine ball. You powerfully propel the ball forward from your chest. It primarily targets your chest muscles, while also engaging your abdominals, shoulders, and triceps. This compound movement helps build upper body pushing power and coordination.

Technique tips

• Keep the medicine ball tight against your chest to start.
• Initiate the push by exploding your hips forward.
• Drive the ball powerfully away from your body.
• Allow your body to follow through with the throw.
• Safely catch your fall with your hands on the ground.
• Quickly reset to your starting kneeling position.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
