The Wall-Ball Shot

“As an example of high functionality and marked carryover of cardiorespiratory benefit to sport and human performance in general, we offer our “wallball” exercise. This exercise is largely a front squat and push-press combination. The functionality of throwing or shooting an object from overhead and standing up is hopefully obvious.” From “Functionality & Wall Ball“, CrossFit Journal Issue 12, August 2003 – — CrossFit is the world’s leading platform for improving health and performance.
