How to do it

  1. This drill is great for chest passes when you lack a partner or a wall of sufficient strength. Lay on the ground on your back with your knees bent.
  2. Begin with the ball on your chest, held with both hands on the bottom.
  3. Explode up, extending through the elbow to throw the ball directly above you as high as possible.
  4. Catch the ball with both hands as it comes down.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Supine Chest 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 Triceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
