TODAY'S TRAINING - SANDBAG THROWS: Set a target to between 10 and 15 feet overhead and pick a weight you can efficiently throw over the target for multiple reps. Set a running clock and complete 3-4 throws at the top of every 3 minutes. Score is the total number of sets you can complete without a missed throw. Focus on the power of each throw and adjust the height of your target to fit your ability level. If you don't have a throwing sandbag, a medicine ball, kettlebell, or small keg would work too.

Picking up something moderately heavy and throwing it for height or distance is one of the most simple, yet highly effective ways to build power and explosiveness for athletes of all levels. Plus, it's just fun AF 🤷🏾‍♂️!

• Throwing exercises are an excellent way to increase force production since there is no eccentric portion of the lift.
• 
  
• Throwing develops power in the frontal, sagittal and even a transverse plane, which has tremendous carryover to the chaotic nature sports.
• 
  
• Throwing movements are great way to train explosive hip extension for athletes who may not be ready for or who are are unable to perform the Olympic Lifts.
