Looking for a new workout routine?
« on: March 14, 2009, 07:34:57 PM »
My personal trainer gave me something new to do last night.  When I arrived at the gym, he had an 85 pound tractor tire and a 10-pound sledgehammer waiting for me.  First he had me swing the hammer over my head and pound it down on the tire as hard as I could.  After doing that repeatedly, I had to flip the tire over and move it from one end of the room to the other.  And then I had to swing the hammer and hit the tire on its side until I'd moved it back to the other side of the room.  Not as easy as it sounds.  It was the most exhausting thing I'd done in a long time.  I felt totally destroyed by the time the session was over.   !i#t

How much does the sledge rebound off the tire? I'll have to go back home to try this O0

Razor: my trainer just incorporated the same thing with the tire and hammer into my workout routine. (say once every 3 sessions).

He has me on kettlebells on a regular basis.

Doesn't the recoil of the sledghammer hitting the tire put a tremendous load on the shoulder and elbow joints and ligaments? :/O  I would think you'd have to be well prepared in those areas to do this.  How does the trainer address the potential for stress injuries to the joints from this exercise?

It really doesn't recoil that much.

What your trainer had you do was a GPP (General Physical Preparedness) workout. It's a very effective tool in anyone's training regimen.  O0

That's World's Strongest Man style.  I LOVE watching those.  Usually around Christmas time when I chilling at my parent's house, they have marathons of those. 
Huge dudes pulling trucks, flipping tire and just lifting and throwing huge and heavy things.  It's awesome.
