Medicine ball HMS PSB18 — 18 kg, black, 270 mm diameter

The HMS PSB18 medicine ball is a heavy-duty training tool weighing 18 kg with a 270 mm diameter and a black exterior. Designed for functional training, this slam-style medicine ball supports dynamic throws, slams and partner exercises while providing a durable surface that resists repeated impact. Its construction focuses on power development, coordination and core stability, making it suitable for use in commercial gyms, home workouts and rehabilitation settings.

Advantages

The ball features a robust rubber-coated exterior that absorbs shock and protects both the ball and workout surfaces during high-intensity slams and throws. Its 18 kg weight and compact 270 mm diameter offer a dense, controlled load for explosive movements and rotational work. The uniform round shape and textured surface enhance grip and handling during dynamic exercises, and the durable build reduces deformation and wear from repeated impacts.

Suitable for

• Power and explosive strength development (slams, throws)
• Core strengthening and rotational workouts
• Functional training circuits and conditioning
• Partner drills and throwing exercises
• Rehabilitation exercises that require controlled loading

Key specifications

• Weight: 18 kg
• Diameter: 270 mm
• Exterior: rubber-coated surface for impact resistance
• Design: slam-style medicine ball for dynamic throws and slams
• Color: black

How to use

Select a clear, non-slip exercise area and choose movements appropriate for your fitness level. For slams and throws, lift the ball overhead using a controlled hip and core drive, then forcefully bring it down toward the ground while maintaining a stable stance. For partner throws, use a controlled motion focusing on catch and release mechanics to protect shoulders and wrists. Incorporate rotational passes, sit-up throws or wall throws to target core and oblique muscles. Start with lower repetition ranges and gradually increase intensity and volume as technique and conditioning improve.

Usage recommendations

Use footwear with good traction and perform exercises on impact-tolerant flooring. Inspect the ball before each session for surface damage. Avoid sharp objects and excessive exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the rubber coating. When introducing the 18 kg load, prioritize technique and consider warming up with lighter implements before progressing to high-intensity slams or high-volume sets.
