Even if you can't lift the 12LB STAMPED sledge w/ shot glass of water, if you have proper video and first 10 people to try you get $10- not much but easy.

I’ll give it a go with my 6lbs sledge.

It's 1:35 AM here in Denmark but I'm thinking about getting out of bed to try it, not even sure I have a 12lbs hammer though.

I'm so glad i'm not the only one who thinks about sledgehammers in the middle of the night.. 

That being said, i'm not ever getting out of bed to lift a sledgehammer unless theres a playboy model at the other end of it.

Hahahaha, I also talked myself out of it.

Definitely gonna find or make a 12lb hammer tomorrow, though I doubt I can do much with it. I've never trained with hammers but I'm always up for a challenge.

Good luck! 12lbs are hard to come by. I have one on probably a 12inch handle my welder friend gave me.  He was in his late 60s still swinging that thing until he retired...  I can't bring myself to re-handle it but I must for grip purposes.

[Kluv#0]

Challenge is 12 LB Stamped sledge with a legit handle length of 32” minimum. Shot glass of water and you are all ready to go. Adding weights to smaller sledge is not close to same feat

I have a few old heavy hammer heads without handles, one of them could be 12lbs. 

That friend of yours must have quite some forearms, swinging 12lbs around.

I'm just planning on trying with a 6lbs sledge for curiosity factor and fun if I have time in the morning. Not to be a part of the challenge.

Gonna try to see if I have 12lbs hammer, just to able to appreciate your feat at the very least. I'm 99% sure I can't even get it off the floor.

Good luck, I don't want to de-rail this thread anymore but yes massive forearms he was probably the strongest man i've ever worked with and i didn't meet him until he was 60. I've got his 300lbs anvil he used to move around himself. He told me I was one of the stronger people he worked with which was a massive compliment.

No doubt Joe! You and EmilBB will still get a Hamilton from me.

I think that is great!

[EmilBB]

Found an old hammer with a total weight of 13.8lbs but the handle is only 20 inches. I could fit a 32 inch handle on it instead but there's no point since I wouldn't be able to lift it then. With a 20 inch handle I could only hold it for 10 seconds on my left and 14 seconds on my right. Hadn't tried this lift before today, so I didn't know just how impressive your lift was @Kluv#0 but I sure know now. Incredible wrist strength you have, something I'll try to improve upon now.

[JasonD]

Out of my league, Michael! That was super impressive, wow!!

Jason, your grip/wrist strength is superior to 99.9% of humans me included. However, I do appreciate your kind words- very proud of that ability and the unique way of demonstrating it. 

[BottledCitrus]

Yup. I cant do this very well, yet. 

[Lennix]

Beyond crazy lift. Only have a 11lbs Hammer so unfortunately I cant test it fully!

Thanks, Gripmonster Thom! If you want to try the 11 LB that is cool & you still get $10. Just let me know how it went here or via PM. Much respect!

I think my limit for rear sledge is a 10 lb hammer with nothing extra on it, but in any event, I don't own a 12 so I can't try this.  I have a 6, and 8, and a 10.  I will go see what I can do with my 10 just because now I am curious.

Dominating wrist strength shown in that video!

[Vinnie]

With 10 pounds, I am pretty sure could work up to lifting it without spilling and putting it back down, although I couldn't do it at all on first try and I doubt I'd hit 19 seconds.  I definitely need to work on form and balance.  12 pounds?  Ha!  That's elite, man.  For any length of time.  Kudos to you for that record!

Nah, skip the paypal, I didn't post for the $10, I posted for the fun of seeing how freaking hard that is.  I mean, I knew it would be a hard challenge because you're the wrist guy, but that is HARD.
