The wall ball is a staple in functional fitness, but are you doing it right? Here’s how to perfect your technique and avoid common mistakes:
Proper Setup: Keep the ball at chest height, elbows tucked, and feet shoulder-width apart.
Full-Depth Squat: Don’t let the ball pull you forward, keep your chest up and drive through your heels.
Explosive Drive: Use your legs, not just your arms, to launch the ball to the target.
Common Mistakes to Fix:
Holding the ball too low, causing a forward lean
Not using enough leg drive, making it all upper body
Poor timing on the catch, leading to wasted energy
Dial in your form, and you’ll move faster, last longer, and get more out of every rep.
