I mean, I knew it would be a hard challenge because you're the wrist guy, but that is HARD. I know you didn’t post for $ but I want to do that for the first 10 gripsters. I think it is terrific that gripsters participate and have the confidence regardless of outcome! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gripmaniac Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Whilst I have the required sledgehammer, plenty of water, and no shortage of shot glasses. . . . .there is no way I'd be able to pull that feat off (even if it was done to the front). An impressive feat of wrist strength BTW. To me, the set down just looks really, really tough! At my strongest I'd only be half a chance with a 10lb hammer - and I haven't trained with sledges for over a year now. However, curiosity compels me to dust off the 8lber tonight. . . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I had the Weaver stick to the rear one year at Gripmas - I've been trying to remember where on my computer those results are - I'll post them if I ever find them - but Michael - your strength and control is incredible - I remember everyone shaking like crazy when we did the Weaver Stick here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith513 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Ran home for 5 minutes. Here’s my quick unedited no warm up attempt with 8lbs sledge. I think with a couple months of dedication I could it with the 8. I can definitely hold it but not level and that’s the whole point. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledCitrus Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Ill be taking a crack at it tonight. my sledge 13lbs and 36” but ill confirm. Can’t wait. I did it post comp volunteering at home and got all of 5 seconds without water. So it will be interesting to see if I can do it rested and warmed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let me know how it went here or via PM. Much respect! Haha I had absolutely nothing in this lift today! Arms and wrists are too tired from this weekends competition. Will definitely revisit and actually train it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kluv#0 Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Here is two other Ulnar deviation craziness with sledges that are in my own top 10 wrist feats. First 5 to pat me on the back gets a prize - JUST KIDDING. Not bragging just proud of that strength that I earned with hours of training. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilBB Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) @Kluv#0How long have you been training with sledgehammers? Also do you have a program for it? I have now made a sledgehammer with a 32 inch handle, the head is 13.2lbs and the total weight is 14.5lbs. I don't expect to lift it at the 32 inch mark anytime soon but that is of course the goal now. Just don't know how to train for it.

I do have several programs which I keep detailed account and grade each session. I will do my basic wrist routine (all angles and various devices) on Saturday and send it to you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kluv#0 Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 One more day of challenge. Old man T went out and tried the feat this A.M. - I don't train hard on my ulnar since May of this year due to slight finger injury but still pleased with effort after not trying since 2020. Hold starts midway thru video 2:24. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
