Valid rep checklist
Make every throw count
Begin standing tall with hips and knees extended, holding the ball in both hands.
Descend until the hips are lower than the knees — below parallel.
Stand and throw with both hands so the ball hits the designated target zone.
After a drop, reset to the fully standing start before beginning the next squat.
Interactive 100-rep planner
Choose the break before fatigue chooses it
Select the largest clean set you can repeat when fresh. The planner turns it into three starting strategies that total exactly 100. Test them after running and keep the version that preserves depth and target accuracy.
Repeatable fresh set
Option 02
Controlled
7 × 13 + 9
8 working sets · A repeatable middle option for race-specific rehearsals.
Option 03
Aggressive
6 × 16 + 4
7 working sets · Fewer breaks, but only if depth and target accuracy stay clean.
These are planning prompts, not a performance guarantee. Rest duration and set size should be validated in compromised training.
