Sledge swinging onto tire

[KingDosia]

Who here does it and how long do you do it for?

There is a simple equation for these types of exersizes. Go with high intensity for the length of a round. Rest for the length of a rest period for what ever it is. Go for another round. Set a goal of 4 rnds if you can, but keep it intense. What ever you are doing to train for boxing be it the heavy bag or a sledge hammer keep it intense. You will do yourself no favors counting out a certain number of blows. HIt that ****er

how heavy is the axe?

haha dont get me wrong i am not a behemith
on 5 11' 165lb.
and still well undertrained...

but the axe only weighs seven pounds
but believe me it feels a lot heavier after three sets of eighty with each arm...hahah...
i might move up weight but

right now...

i can afford a new axe so
this will do for just for toning and helping me build up my punching muscles for now..

This ^^^^ is the best advice on the subject so far.

Years ago I remember seeing the newsreel footage of Jack Dempsey chopping wood. It was all part of the training back in those days. Hitting the tire with a sledge hammer is just a modern variation of old fashioned boxing training.
