The D-Ball is the heavy rubber ball in the gym. Most gyms have many D-balls in assorted weights that range from 5 kg to 100 kg. There are many exercises you can do with them, for example:
- Cleans
- Deadlifts
- Lunges
- Squats
- Holds
They are hard to hold onto because the object is basically a big heavy ball made of rubber, therefore you must use both arms and torso to hold the d-ball up.
The most popular movement with the D-ball is to pick it up and throw it over the shoulder in an upright position. Here are some tips to help you lift the heavier balls.
- Go down to a deep squat position
- Scoop up the ball with you forearms
- Lift the ball up to your knees
- Close your legs and rest the ball there
- Hug the ball as you stand up
- Flex the hips with some force to help you get momentum
- Tilt your head to the side and slide the ball over your shoulder
- Let the ball fall down of your shoulder behind you.
If you cannot get it over the shoulder, just stand up and drop the ball in standing position
