Medicine Ball One-Armed Throws

Video Transcript

"With our next clip we're going to actually work our lead hand, our jab hand. For me as a right handed boxer that's going to be my left jab, my left hand. So we're going to work the medicine ball. We're going to be throwing it with just one hand but it's going to be the lead hand this time. Last time it was the power hand working our power. So in this case it's going to be my lead hand, the jab hand. I'm going to get into my boxing stance and then I'm going to throw the ball as if I was throwing a jab. Just going to go straight across. And when I catch it I don't necessarily want to be in my jab position. I just want to catch it close to my body and then when I throw it that's when I want to be back into that lead, jab position. Okay, catch it routinely and then jab it. I'm going to go fully out as if I was jabbing my opponent. Nice big long jab straight out. Ideally it should go right about the same height as his chin straight across. Basically throwing it with one punch. My right hand tucked right underneath my chin. Right where it should be. Usually with this exercise the lighter balls are a little bit better because generally your lead hand is your weaker hand. Hence the power hand being the stronger hand. So that was the lead hand jab."
