(2) SUPINE MED-BALL DROP PASSES: These train the trunk to produce more speed, not just power. Fire a soft, light med ball upward powerfully and catch it as it falls (below). Do each rep without pausing, focusing on explosive movement. Do several reps. Work on this programme as part of your existing routine or as the foundation for a new one. Do the exercises at least a few times each week. Some of our middle-aged clients who have gone through this are now driving it further than they did in their 30s!
