Medicine ball HMS PST12 — 12 kg, Black, 275 mm diameter

HMS PST12 medicine ball — 12 kg, black, 275 mm diameter — is a compact, spherical slam-style training ball designed for dynamic strength and conditioning work. Constructed with a durable outer material and filled to minimize bounce, this 12 kg medicine ball is intended for repetitive slams, throws and controlled impacts against the ground. Textured tabs around the surface improve grip and reduce slippage, while a waterproof build allows use in varied training environments. The ball’s size and weight make it suitable for power development, core stability and coordination drills across functional training, rehabilitation and sport-specific conditioning.

Advantages

The PST12 combines a non-bouncing internal fill with a robust outer shell to enable safe, high-impact slam exercises without unpredictable rebound. Integrated surface tabs enhance grip during fast movements and wet conditions, increasing exercise precision and reducing hand fatigue. Its waterproof construction and reinforced seam design support frequent use in indoor gyms and high-intensity training sessions. The 275 mm diameter provides a compact profile for controlled overhead throws and close-body core work while the 12 kg load targets both strength and explosive power development.

Suitable for

• Slams and wall throws to develop explosive power
• Core stability and rotational conditioning
• Functional workouts and circuit training
• Warm-up and strength-maintenance exercises
• Rehabilitation drills focusing on controlled force application
• Combat sports conditioning and sport-specific power work

How to use

Use the medicine ball for controlled overhead slams by lifting the ball overhead with a stable stance, engaging the core, and forcefully driving the ball to the ground while maintaining a slight knee bend to absorb impact. For throws, stand at a safe distance from the wall or partner and use a coordinated hip and shoulder drive to project the ball; catch or retrieve safely. For core work, perform rotational throws, sit-up passes or kneeling chops to target obliques and transverse abdominals. Inspect the ball before use for signs of damage and choose appropriate footwear and surface to maintain stability during dynamic movements.

Usage recommendations

Start sessions with lighter warm-up sets and progress to higher-intensity slams or weighted throws. Maintain proper lifting mechanics — hinge at the hips, brace the core and avoid rounding the lower back. Use controlled repetitions to prioritize technique over speed, and ensure a clear training area to prevent injury. Clean the ball after sweaty sessions and store it in a dry place away from sharp objects and direct sunlight.
