Medicine Ball Question:

Is their a way to gage what weight medicine ball one should use. Im thinking about getting one to use at home when doing crunches and what not. I weigh 205 lbs. and I just want one, what weight should I settle on? Thx!

Depend man. Personally, I made my own, as heavy as I could (about 15lbs ?). I have a smaller one I use at my gym, but I prefer heavier.

So theres not really any rhyme or reason? I can just go out and buy one and get used to the weight?

Ya, depends on what you're using it for really. If your getting one to slam/throw etc. I suggest making your own. If you need a "bounce" one, go to a gym and try a few out to see. No point on spending $40 on something that provides little challenge.

If you check Rosstraining.com and go to "equipment" articles you can find out how to make both. Just be sure to use shoo goo. I tried something else before and it didn't work.
