Sledgehammer + Tire = ???

[yodamann]

Would hitting a tire with a sledgehammer be a good workout? Like the chopping wood motion, that golf swing Rocky Balboa did in...Rocky Balboa, etc.?

I think it would.

De La Hoya did it, and I think a lot of other boxers do it as well.

And I believe it works on your core.

Awesome sauce. Would it work out the back at all? Sorry if the question seems a bit newb-y. :P

Well I don't know because I have never tried it myself.

Just go ahead and try it.

Sledgehammer + Tire = one fun exercises ever.

Its strength and conditioning with great fun! Works the core primarily, but also works the arms too.

Earnie Shavers recomends it for punching power. Says it works all the muscles you use when punching.

Sure it is. But that's old school, today we have better sport specific exercises. If that's all you have in your gym, bang away!

[Yael The Great]

Alot of MMA fighters use that exercise to gain punching power.
