How to activate your back before pulling heavy weights? : Med-ball Slam!!!

Before pulling heavier weights, you have to make sure you activate the muscles responsible for pulling. What better than to activate the largest pulling muscle - "the lats" or "the wings".

With medicine ball slams, you not only activate your lats as your arms and elbows move similar to a pull down or a pull over, but it also activates the central nervous system being an explosive movement.

Do these at the end of your warm-up for 3-5 sets of 3-5. Focus on quality of reps rather than quantity.
