Coach Myers Wrestling S&C: The 5x5 Med Ball Crusher
Oct 28, 2020
The 5x5 medicine ball crusher is not for the faint of heart.
- 5 Slams
- 5 Zercher Squat
- 5/5 Body Lock Back Lunges (each leg)
- 5 Towel Pull-Ups
- x 5rounds
Complete 5 reps of all exercises as quickly as possible. Use as heavy as a med ball as possible and add weight on the towel pull-ups if you normally are able to do 10+ reps.
The goal is to complete each round in 1 minute and then rest for 1 minute, getting all 5 rounds done in less than 10 minutes.
