Yep, when I first got my med ball (11lbs) I could only do 25 sit up throws against the wall and I had to rest for 1 min and do another set. NOW, I can bang out 100 rep sit up throws (if I want to go that high in reps) then take a rest. It’s just amazing, over time your body will just get use to it and it will build itself up. BTW, my diet still sucks (compared to pro athletes) and the ONLY thing I’m taking now is zinc, mag and calcium. D%M, if I could eat and get massages like the pros my body comp and progress would be so much better.
Also, IMHO, the med ball work is more important then the tempo… Don’t know why guys shy way from it; is hella fun! I’m getting strong too because of it, put on 295 at the gym but I got stuck and could not get it up… lol, dudes in the gym think i’m all strong because I don’t look like all the 250lbs+ juice heads (who I never seen put up more then 315), i’m lean and long so I shock them all. I shake my head when gym dudes think 295 is a lot because I think of Ben with 450 and Tiny Tim M with 345 and I know I’m so weak compared to them.
