Are You Making This Wallball Mistake?

A common mistake I notice people making when it comes to wallballs is starting off by performing as many reps as possible straight out the gate.


The problem with this, like with any exercise, is as you approach muscular failure, the quality and quantity of the subsequent sets is extremely likely to diminish without sufficient rest, and


A better option would be to keep 5-10 reps in the tank during the first effort, taking a short rest, then continuing, and again keeping a few reps in the tank during the next effort, followed by a short rest, then continuing in this fashion until you’ve completed 100 reps.


This is a far better (and quicker) option than smashing out 50 reps straight away and then being unable to perform more than 5 reps at a time, not to mention the higher chance of technique breakdown and the dreaded “NO REP!” while you’re under unnecessarily high levels of fatigue at the end of an already demanding Hyrox race.


Hyrox is a fitness race, but like any race, it involves tactics.
