Sledgehammer Swings

Build rotational power and core strength with this heavy-duty drill.

This powerful, rotational exercise mimics real-world athletic movement and challenges the core, grip, and shoulders. It’s a staple in the FitnessTracker plyo toolbox for building dynamic strength.

Instructions

  1. Stand about two feet from a tire with a staggered stance.
  2. Grip the sledgehammer with your lead hand near the base and the other hand higher on the handle.
  3. Swing the hammer overhead and down toward the tire, letting your top hand slide down during the motion.
  4. Strike the tire, control the rebound, and reset. Repeat for your desired reps, then switch sides.
