Sledgehammer + Tire = ???

Medicine ball slams are similar, if you don't have a sledgehammer get a 5-7 kg med ball and throw it from behind the head towards the floor

Yeah I could see how that would be the same. I do it all I know for sure s it helps your core but have heard it helps with power

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!

No gym yet, I have an 8 lb. sledgehammer and a couple tires. And I like old school, so it's A-OK!

And thanks for the info, guys.

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

It shreds up your lats and wings, thats for sure.

Tearing it to pieces.

Tearing it to pieces.

So...sledgehammer + tire = no bueno for the lats and wings?

its a good exercise that works many muscles in your entire body like legs core arms shoulders and back.

Btw, what about hitting the tire with the sledgehammer horizontally?
