Sledge Hammer Strikes

Description

As you can see, there are many options when it comes to sledgehammer training.

The sledgehammer can be added to almost any workout. A fighter can close his gym work with a few minutes on the sledge.

You do not need to isolate the sledgehammer from your main workout. As a competitive athlete, you must already juggle an often crammed schedule. Simply add a few minutes of sledgehammer training to your routine every other day, and you will certainly notice improvements in endurance, core strength, grip strength, and more.

 

How to do Sledge Hammer Strike:

 

Setup

 

– Feet shoulder width apart

– Feet can be staggered or on the same plane

– One hand on the handle, the other placed at the top

 

Execution

 

– Begin the movement by bringing the sledgehammer up and behind you

– At the peak of the swing, the hand that started at the top should be shifting down, toward the handle

– As you strike the tire, use the bounce to reposition your hands to the initial setup
