Movement instructions
You will need a partner for this exercise. Lacking one, this movement can be performed against a wall.
Begin facing your partner holding the medicine ball at your torso with both hands.
Pull the ball to your chest, and reverse the motion by extending through the elbows. For sports applications, you can take a step as you throw.
Your partner should catch the ball, and throw it back to you.
Receive the throw with both hands at chest height.

Your progress
Keep the same medicine ball setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Medicine Ball Chest Pass sessions.
Weight, repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 3 sets of 8 reps at 30 kg. Next time, record the actual result, even if it is the same.
Look for more repetitions at the same weight, or a heavier weight for comparable repetitions. Total weight lifted also changes when you add sets, so it is not a strength score.
