What the best way to use a sledgehammer in training?
What exercises can be done? How do you incorprate them into a routine?
Ideas?

Thanks,
Baz
are you looking to use them to work on wrist strength by doing holds or to work on strength and core by hitting tires?

just scroll down a little and you should see 'em.
TTT for the Hammer
Find someone with a pickup truck, go to a tractor trailer tire supplier and offer to remove a tire or two. Bring them home and pound on them with your hammer. start with maybe an 8 lb sledge and work up to 12 or heavier. Alternate using 8-12lb sledge, to get variety of challenges.
Hit the tire diagonally from right side, then from left. Hit it straight on, alternate. make it up as you go along.

Would burying the tire halfway in the upright position be more beneficial than just letting in lie on the ground?
