Eccentric Med Ball Power Upper Body Strength & Total Body Transfer
Jan 9, 2026
Description
A training session focused on improving upper‑body power, strength, and athletic transfer using a medicine ball. Published recently on the Overtime Athletes channel, which specializes in sport performance content for athletes, this video walks through exercises and drills that emphasize eccentric load and power development with a med ball — that is, controlled muscle lengthening under tension followed by explosive movement to generate force efficiently across the whole body.
In the session the coach demonstrates medicine‑ball–based movements that challenge your upper body while also engaging your core, hips, and legs to transfer power through your kinetic chain, helping bridge strength gains to real‑world athletic performance. These kinds of power‑focused med ball exercises are often used by athletes to improve explosiveness, coordination, and whole‑body strength because they require coordinated effort between multiple muscle groups and planes of motion, reinforcing both strength and dynamic control throughout the workout.
