some examples of things to do with the MB that are upper-focused:
1. supine chest throws: lie on your back with your knees bent. hold the ball at your chest and throw it straight up as high as you can. catch and repeat x 5-10.
2. overhead slams: stand holding the ball at about your waist. raise your arms overhead and throw the ball down as hard as possible. catch and repeat x 5-10. be careful if your ball is bouncy as getting hit in the face with a 22-pound object is not fun.
3. rotational wall slams: stand perpendicular to a sturdy wall with your knees bent, holding the ball around your waist. twist to throw the ball against the wall as hard as possible. catch and repeat x 5-10. you might have to play around with staggering your feet a bit.
T0ddday is obviously a huge supporter of overhead throws, if you have a big enough space then you should do those, as well.
