For an athlete to continually ge stronger, higher levels of muscle tension are necessary. This requirement demands that the athlete strive to use incrementally heavier weights (thus the importance of recognizing the achievement of personal records in the weight room). <br>With the exception of exercises for very small muscle groups, a medicine ball will produce only a mior increase in strength levels because the balls seldom weigh more than 16 pounds (the heaviest BFS ball weighs 30 pounds). A 6- to 12-pound medicine ball would be fine for a very young athlete; in fact, the beginning pre-teen female athletes I coach perform a few strength training exercises with such light medicne balls. For example, front squat with a medicine ball. For this exercise, however, even the heaviest ball wouldthe art equipment. It is an intense environment to work out in and the staff gives great direction. It's the kind of place you want to work out
