The Heavy Weight Dead Balls

A 'live' medicine ball is so-named because it bounces. The Deadball, however, is the opposite. It is as dead as John Cleese's parrot, but a hell of a lot heavier.

Dead Balls are great for slams, which involve the triple-extension of exercises like the snatch and the clean and press, performed violently in reverse. Slams are agreat exercise for developing speed and power. The Dead Ball 'bastard' is the most appropriately named exercise ever; it's essentially a slam with a close-grip push up connected to it. Nothing will make you sicker -- faster.

The heavier Dead Balls (20kg, 25kg, 35kg, 45kg, 55kg, 65kg) increase the demands of these activities even further. Due to the iron-sand filling of balls of such considerable weight, the load shifts slightly inside the super-durable rubber casing. This makes them an uneven, somewhat unstable object, adding a further degree of challenge.

The forty-five kilo ball is the heaviest of the lot and has great transfer into strongman exercises, like the Atlas Stone carry and shouldering. Simply lifting the ball off the floor will be well beyond the reach of your average health-club member and slams with this baby might be best performed out-of-doors, especially if you have a basement under the studio or aren't on the ground floor.

All four Deadballs can be purchased as part of a package which, for anyone other than an Iron Edge customer, would surely be a deterrent.
