Adam Juncker Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I can lever my 8 Pound Hammer like a boss, but I don't train it very much because it hurts so bad. I just tried a 16 pound hammer in the hardware store cold. People were looking at me like what is a matter with you mostly because I almost dropped it on my face.

Dude I LOVE going to the hardware store and putting on a show.... I’ll walk up to the 16 COLD and blast up to 6 reps a hand! Some people start filming! Haha it’s fun!

My memory is swift so take that for what it is. I just know i use 31” . Chill my friend This has nothing to do with being smart or not I have made this mistake in the past. So what?

Andrew Dube Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Got this beautiful pair of 12lb hammers for Christmas! Interestingly they are 36" overall length. They were purchased at TSC. I'm thinking I'll cut 4" off and wrap the handles in leather as I wanted them specifically to do double Slim levers into a double crucifix lever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE the double 12s bro! Every wrist aficionado should have em! I am actually gonna get another 16 to do a double 16 crucifix! It’s about that time!

I love the case you have them in. You gotta protect your hammers so they keep making your wrists stronger for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How i wish i can do doubles. i like my 36” full length baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that we thought you were lying! Dubes is from Canada.... that’s why I asked if you were from another country... 36 inchers May be more common in other places. How much harder do you say a 36 inch hammer feels to a 32 of the same weight? Would a 10 feel like a 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rinderle Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) 12.5% harder. A 10 would be like a 11.25. 12 like a 13.5. Edited December 26, 2017 by Mike Rinderle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked about this with an engineer friend of mine and he confirmed this math. But I was curious because it certainly "feels" harder than the math would predict. I took this picture showing the difference in angles between the hammer and arm as well as the hammer and ground. The shorter handle seems closer to parallel but the wrist angle is more acute on the longer handle. Looks like I open my fingers quite a bit actually. The shoulder position is pretty different too. So I think there's a lot more going on than simple physics. Could be the extra ROM, could be change in body position, but for me these 12lb at 36" feel like a 16lb at 32". Note that I didn' actually lever these hammers but rested them on my nose. And yes the gun case was a very elegant way to gift them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
