CAP Barbell Weight Medicine Ball | 2-12lb Options

We bought some of these for our bootcamp gym and they have been awesome! They are beautifully made and I love the colors. We bought two 6lb, two 8lb, two 10lb and one 12lb. All the 6lb-10lb are the same size ball but are different weights, and the 12lb is significantly bigger which I don't really mind. If anything I wish they were all the size of the 12lb ball but I'm used to the giant soft medicine balls so I'm just a little biased ;) but I still love working out with these and so does everyone else.I read a couple reviews before purchasing and there were some reviews complaining that they tore open or broke completely in half, then I read further to find out they were using them as slam balls. THESE ARE NOT SLAM BALLS. IF YOU SLAM THEM, THEY WILL BREAK. I would have thought that was pretty straight forward but apparently not. If you've ever used a slam ball, you should quite obviously note the differences in the make and consistency of a medicine ball vs. a slam ball. So if you are in need of some great quality Medicine balls for a great price, you will be very happy with these. If you're in need of a slam ball, you're gonna have a bad time.I hope this was helpful for all those review junkies like me! I'll post some pics too :)

The Cap 6lb. medicine ball is a great size if you are just starting to get into medicine ball exercises. If you are not real strong even a 4lb. would be a good start. You can always increase the workout intensity by adding more reps or exercises. Eventually you will probably need a larger ball as your strength increases.This particular ball is a good size (smaller than a basketball) about 8 1/2" diameter, and has a textured surface that is easy to grip. It is very firm but not real "bouncy" so you can use it for "slam" exercises and it won't come up and hit you in the face, but will bounce high enough that you can catch it and keep your momentum going. A leather ball will not bounce as high. The construction of this ball seems to be extremely rugged. The rubber smell is not even noticeable after a few days.This ball does have a valve to pump it up if needed but does not need it initially..if it should eventually lose air, you would be able to inflate it.There are some good You Tube videos on medicine ball exercises and also Mens Health magazine has an article on the workout used by the Carolina basketball team using an 8lb. ball. I don't see it as a replacement for free weights but as a supplement on off-weight days or performed right after a weight workout.

It's a great medicine ball, I use it mostly for ab work. I've read from other reviewers that they've had problems using this doing some workout that involves slamming these to the ground. I'm not sure that's what these are for, but for the ab work I do, I have a slanted sit up bench where I place the ball on my chest and lift up. I sometimes use that same bench and face away from it where my lower body is extended. I place the medicine ball between my knees and lift up. There are other exercises you can do like sitting on the ground with your feet just above the ground as well as your upper body, and with the medicine ball in your hands you move it side to side. I think this is a great workout tool, just remember that abs are more about diet than anything else.

Just like the medicine balls at the gym. Great quality.

Requested for a Xmas present, and I was told that it was perfect! Apparently it lives up to it's reviews!

It's a big rubber ball.Bigger than I expected, to be honest - It's almost as big as a basketball. Not a problem, but I've used some that are smaller for the same weight.The whole surface is textured rubber. Easy to grip. Neither pretty nor ugly - it just sort of is what it is.Smelled strongly of rubber for several weeks after opening it. Enough to kind of stink up my small apartment and leave an exhaust fan running. If you've already got a gym room set up it's probably fine but I wouldn't stash it in your bedroom closet unless you want to get a big headache smelling it while you try to sleep.I'm saying four stars because it works as advertised and is totally fine - but also kind of stinky, a little large, and not especially nice looking. If you can live with that, I think this is a solid choice.

Exactly what I need it for. I love the size, color, style, and grip. I need it for my ab workouts and extra weight to help me stretch more. My 5 year old son likes to pick it up, carry it around. Drops it on the floor. So far with his abuse, it has held up nicely. Majority of our house is carpited though so it's not like he's bouncing it off of cement or anything. Thanks CAP and Amazon for the great price and product 😎👍 I will be back eventually to buy the 10 lb

This is a great product! I gave it five stars because it is exactly as described. I work out between 3-5 days a week, and this medicine ball is a key part of my work out equipment. I have had this medicine ball for two months and am finding that it is very durable. I am 175lbs and the ball has no problem supporting my weight for various exercises (medicine ball triceps push up, push up with feet on medicine ball, alternating medicine ball push up, etc.) When I was shopping for a medicine ball there were many options, and it became a little confusing. I chose this one specifically because it was given good reviews and the price was reasonable. I am very happy with it and have not have any issues so far. I would recommend it for anyone in the market for a medicine ball.

lo estoy utilizando para fortalecer mis brazos, sin dañar ningun musculo, no es necesario mantener una carga fuerte en las manos, simplemente no perder elasticidad y fuerza minima, ahora que no debemos exponernos por el virus amenesante.

I received the ball in perfect condition and it was a great addition to my home gym. I bought all of the other colours of this medicine ball set and they look great together on the CAP rack. The size of the ball was good as well. Definitely recommend!

Excellent product marred by poor delivery notification. Item delivered without receiving an email notification. Delivered to back of the house not knowing it being there for 2 days!

Está muy bien el artículo, sin embargo el tamaño es medio grande, pensé que se veía como en la imagen así que no vi las dimensiones, y cuando llegó si es un poquito más pequeña que un balón de fútbol.

El peso es ideal para hacer ejercicio en casa... y es de muy buena calidad.. ya la recomendé a amigas...
