David_wigren Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I like doing these as a warm up before grip and bending. Great for shoulders and wrists. In this video I try and take it a few steps further, but you don't have to do that. Swinging one sledge at a time will probably give you a better warmup. However swinging two at a time will strengthen your wrists more since you have to balance and counter in all different directions. It gets a little bit sloppier when you have two sledges to worry about, so you can't use perfect momentum, and you have to compencate for it with your wrists. And if you go on for a few sets of a few minutes each, you'll get a pretty deacent burn in your wrists and forearms. Be careful though. They are still sledges and they can kick the crap out of you if you accidentily hit yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I love swinging my Stronger Grip mace. I have it loaded up as heavy as I could get it with the shot I had and it has an extra thick handle. The thing is great. I haven't done much stuff with one club in each hand, mainly because I only have singles of each device. Nice video. Jedd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bullitt Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Very cool, but I'm nowhere near coordinated enough. It would be a quick trip to the hospital for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Thanks guys. These are 6lbs and 8lbs sledges. Not to heavy, so they're pretty easy to handle. I think that for the gains I am looking for the easier weights are better. I want wrist strength/health and shoulder mobility/stability. And I think having to big sledges would limit your movement and therefore take alot of the wrist work out of it. And turn it more into a shoulder exercise. Still a good thing, but not what I'm after at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
