Primary muscles: Front Delts, Shoulders

Secondary muscles: Abdominals, Glutes, Hamstrings, Quadriceps

How to do it

  1. Assume a semisquat stance with a medicine ball in your hands. Your arms should hang so the ball is near your feet.
  2. Begin by thrusting the hips forward as you extend through the legs, jumping up.
  3. As you do, swing your arms up and over your head, keeping them extended, releasing the ball at the peak of your movement. The goal is to throw the ball the greatest distance behind you.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Medicine Ball Scoop Throw from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Front Delts volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
