Thanks for this. Glad to see this is still the 'proper'way to do it. It was the way I was always taught.

[@BoKnowsZombies]

Well you were taught wrong. Hands stay at the base

Crazy how the world has changed in 3 years, I’m now using a sledgehammer as A form of exercise hitting an old gym matt in lockdown.

Get your self a wood stove like me. and split some logs for an hour each day with a splitting wedge. Same principle applies and as well as getting a workout your providing free heat for your home. I got about 500kg of birch from a local household who just wanted it taking for free. Started burning it before christmas and got about another weeks burn left.

The walk of shame ... been there : (

[@XxxFoxionzxxX]

thanks mate , excited to try this out

[@fixitmakeit72]

Somehow there is a feel good factor from using a sledge hammer every now and then. Don't be put off from the first few blows if you tire quickly. You will need lots of breaks and if its one of your first chores of the day, do something else as a warm up prior and break yourself into it gradually. would be ace to see what your smashing up! if you video it please send me a link. Cheers Adam.

fixitmakeit thanks! I am actually using a sledgehammer while performing for a show called "man in the high castle", wanted to make sure my form was/is clean for the camera, although I've done landscaping before. Episode won't air for a while, but there will be a video ;) will link if I find out which episode

[@fixitmakeit72]

Great cheers. ive watched a no. of methods on youtube and only seen 1 with a similar method to mine. most are workout videos with a big tyre and not the right methods for a beginner. Can see broken shins and back easy. will send you a link from one ive just watched.

[@fixitmakeit72]

40lb sledgehammer training. jake asher(channel) Not yourself but can you imagine a newbie using this method. They would definitely have no shins left.Good luck with show.
