Race context
HYROX
Athlete holding a medicine ball at the chest in a controlled squat facing a wall target.

Before you start

Set up the movement.

  1. 01

    Use a soft medicine ball and a clear wall target.

  2. 02

    Leave enough space for the ball to fall without reaching another person.

  3. 03

    Practice a controlled catch before adding pace.

One useful cue

Keep the first rep repeatable.

Keep the ball close, stand before the throw and stop the set before squat depth or catches become inconsistent.

Training use

Purpose before prescription.

IN YOUR PLAN

The plan uses the movement to connect a repeatable squat with an upward throw.

WITHOUT THE EQUIPMENT

Use an unloaded squat-to-reach when no suitable ball or target is available.
