Sledgehammer Workout
When you think of old school training methods, the sledgehammer is one of the first things that probably comes to mind. In regards to building and developing raw strength and explosive power, nothing beats it. Of course, the primary recipient of your “destructive” sledgehammer swings is a large tractor tyre. Sledgehammers come in many weights: from 4 pounds, all the way up to 30+ lbs, and some are even bigger. Along with many of the physical benefits that come with sledgehammer training, you also feel damn good just swinging and slamming it down. It brings out your innate raw power and leaves you feeling like a superhero. You just can’t get this feeling from any piece of equipment that a fancy gym might provide.
The Benefits Of Sledgehammer Exercises:
For fighters and athletes, sledgehammer exercises are great tools to use from time to time, whether it’s included in your circuit training program or as the primary tool you use for strength and power development. Along with developing strength and power, you can also look to enhance wrist stability as well as strengthen the forearms and grip. Grip strength is key for both strikers and grapplers along with the other major sports athletes. Sledgehammer workouts are some of the meanest tools that you can train with, improving your strength, endurance, flexibility and explosive power. When using a sledgehammer for strength training, it causes you to use the full range, multiple-joint movements focusing on acceleration, agility, coordination, speed, and mental toughness. You can use it as a full body workout with or without a tyre. You can also use the sledgehammer as a warm up exercise before starting your workout with another tool. Sledgehammers will strengthen muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the wrist, elbow and shoulder girdle. This is the perfect tool for fighters looking to strengthen those areas and increase explosive power. It allows for circular weight training exercises not possible with other traditional equipment. Your hand-eye coordination even improves!
