Dynamax Medicine Balls
Dynamax medicine balls are an amazing tool for conditioning. I use them in one of my sports fitness games called Danney Ball. They can also be used for other exercises like partner sit up tosses, partner tosses and individual wall tosses.
I like them because they are soft and easy to catch along with being very durable. This allows you to do many advanced exercises that hard covered medicine balls can’t be used for.
Like I said before the main purpose for these balls is to play Danney Ball. This is hand down one of the best games you can play for getting lean, explosive and in functional athletic shape.
Women and smaller male athletes should start with a 4 lb. ball and then work up to a 6 lb.ball as strength increases. With a regulation court a 6 lb. ball will be all you will ever need for playing this game.
More advanced athletes should start with a 6 lb. ball and then advance to an 8 lb. ball. Highly advanced athletes like professionals and college level athletes can use a 10 lb. ball.

Rubber Bands
One of my secret concepts for getting rapid training results in my Athlete Training Program manual is choosing optimal training exercises. These are the special ones that make your whole body move through space when training. Dips and pull-ups are two just to name a few.
Rubber bands allow people who can’t use their bodyweight for these exercises to now do them. These bands add strength by stretching as your bodyweight makes it open up. When you contract or apply force on a pull up or dip the band helps you move your body weight.
Instead of buying fancy equipment or needing a gym membership to use machines you can strap one of these bands around a lifting cage, door installed chin up bar or fixed object and start using the highest level of optimal exercises.
Rubber bands can also be used in place of many resistance exercises done in the weight room. This gives you a quick and easy portable option if you can’t get to the weight room.
The key to choosing bands is the amount of resistance needed for the exercises you are performing. You will use the smaller bands with less tension for exercises that require less resistance like rotator cuff and hip stabilization movements. I typically use 41″ bands that are numbered 0-2 (pilates and mini).
Slightly stronger movements like bicep curls and triceps extensions will call for bands ranging from 0-3 (pilates, mini and monster mini)
As you move into stronger movements like upper body presses, pulls and lower body isolation curls and extensions you will need bands from 1-4 (mini, super mini, small and medium).
The strongest movements are compound leg exercises like squats, dead lifts and good mornings. These will require bands 2-7 (super mini, small, medium, large, extra large, X-large and Monster)
The key to picking band strength is to pick a resistance that is close to what you perform on dumbbells or machines. The order page gives exact details on what size and strength each band has to offer.
