CAP Barbell Weight Medicine Ball | 2-12lb Options

These are very durable and worth the buy. the balls are not smooths and helps with maintaining grip. Love these

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

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 :)

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.

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.

I bought the CAP medicine ball because it was the cheapest and it looks like the Nike ball that I've used many times. I am bouncing this one on the concrete sidewalk with bad intentions. I saw the review of the CAP ball that split open; it was bothering me to purchase this one. My ball is looking rough, some rubber is rubbing off the ball. It looks like an old basketball. Something that I want to add is that adding extra air helps it bounces better. The CAP ball didn't bounce the way I was used to bouncing with other balls. It doesn't rebound like a basketball. It is a 10 lb ball, it would have to be super pumped to get a bounce like that kind of ball. My advice is to add more air to make stronger for the bouncing type of exercising. I have been exercising regularly for only 2 months, but I abuse it on an old concrete sidewalk. I jump up, land and throw it up about 2 stories high and it lands on the sidewalk. I'm happy with it, it may not last for a year or years. You should buy the ball for the exercises that you work with. If I bought a more expensive one, I'm sure that it would not be too much liking much better than this cheaper CAP ball.

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

Great ball, very durable and easy to do crunch twists. The only issue, they sent the wrong weighted ball. I wanted the 8 yellow and they send me the blue 6lb. Knuckleheads working the quality control.

El material de construcción es de buena calidad, lo utilizo para entrenamiento con lanzadores, lanzamientos para rebotar en pared y es excelente. Lo mejor es qué hay varios pesos

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...
