FAQ > Dynamax Balls > What size Dynamax Ball should I buy?
The CrossFit standard is a 20-pound Dynamax Ball. Many smaller athletes cannot handle this load, especially when it is thrown. For this reason, we recommend the following ranges:
- Athletes under 100 pounds: 6-12 pounds
- Athletes between 100 and 125 pounds: 12-14 pounds
- Athletes between 125 and 145 pounds: 14-18 pounds
- Athletes 145 pounds and over: 20 pounds
Please note that these are estimates based on our own experiences. You should take always the size and strength of your athletes into consideration when prescribing loads.
