Push up + fly

Olga and Maria showing off the guns!

Prisoner push ups + fly:
Start off in a push up position add weight in one hand. Put your forearm, the one with the weight in it, on the floor perpendicular to your body. Perform a push up while keeping your one forearm on the floor and relying on your opposite arm to do the pushing. Once your arm with no weight in it is fully extended, take your arm with the weight in it off of the floor and raise it up until it becomes parallel with the floor. Repeat

Overhead tossin'

Olga gets good full body extension when throwing the heavy medicine ball overhead (for distance)

Overhead Ball Toss:
The overhead ball toss tests overall full body power/explosiveness. How do I do it? Start off by standing facing away from the direction you will be throwing, with your heels at a start line. The starting position is with the ball in both hands, held above the head, with arms extended. Keep your arms extended, swing the ball down between your legs while flexing the knees. Then in one motion the ball is flung up and back over your head  (just like  swings - to see a "how to" on swings CLICK HERE). Several practices may be required to get the best trajectory for maximum distance. You can fall backward over the start line after the ball is released.

      B/w Hamstring Curls/drops: From kneeling position, descend to the floor. Keep body extended with the hips flat at all times. Do not allow the hips to pike and the glutes to extend out behind, as this is simply the body seeking to escape from the strain of the movement. Using either the hands or the assistance of a partner to provide just enough assistance to complete the repetition.
