HYROX Wall Ball Weight, Reps and Target Height by Division

By Threshold·Published Oct 2026

HYROX wall ball weight by division: 4 kg, 6 kg or 9 kg, 100 reps to 2.70 m or 3.00 m, in kg and lb, with technique, pacing and substitutes.

Weights from the HYROX EN Single Rulebook, Season 26/27, verified 2026-08-01. Rules can change, and the official HYROX site is the final authority.

Wall balls weight by division

Every division throws 100 reps. Women throw to 2.70 m and men to 3.00 m, and Women Pro keeps the women's target while using the Men Open ball.

Where it sits in the race

The wall balls is station 8 of 8, 100 reps, after run 8. The load roughly 2.3x from Women Open (4 kg) to Men Pro (9 kg).

Pro build-up

Pro athletes ramp from their Open load to the midpoint and then to race load through the Base block. Open athletes use race weight in every phase.

What the wall balls taxes

The finisher. Legs, shoulders and breathing fail together, and the no-rep judge is watching squat depth and target height on every rep. A hundred reps is the same in Women Open and Men Pro; only the ball and the target change.

Technique that survives fatigue

Catch the ball high on the chest, drop below parallel, and let the ball leave your hands as the hips finish extending, so the throw is powered by the legs throughout. Breathe out on the throw, in on the catch. Decide your sets before you start (say 25 / 20 / 20 / 15 / 10 / 10) and take short, fixed breaks rather than going to failure.

Where the seconds go

Throwing with the arms once the legs are tired, which produces shallow squats and short throws: no-reps at exactly the moment you have nothing left to repay them with. And breaks the judge chooses: sets you choose cost seconds, sets failure chooses cost minutes.

How the plan progresses it

Wall balls close the station circuits: sets of 15 in the normal rounds, and a final round that builds from 50 to 75 to the full 100 as the block progresses, on legs the earlier rounds have already tired. Pro programming raises the working sets to 25. The 100-rep piece is also a benchmark, timed after full rest.

Substitutes without the kit

Without a ball, dumbbell thrusters for the same reps are the closest the engine has.

• DB thrusters (closest)
• Sandbag thrusters (good)
• Light barbell thrusters (good)
