Sledgehammer levering thread


Londonjoseph

Recommended Posts

Would love to see a collection of sledgehammer lifts, and impressive feats. Not a whole lot of posts on hammers, so I'll start off with this video of my own

I'd just love to see hammer feats/levering of any kind. Old videos of great feats, more current ones, and other general hammer stuff is what this thread is for :)

I got this from over the summer.  Doesn’t count as my arm dropped too much. But it was spur of the moment. Impressed our framing crew at least.

Then I lve got this with a tamper. Not sure of weight.

 

Even with lighter hammers I’ve never been able to keep my hands strictly parallel

More attempts:

Legend Mike krahling, bit high on the handle but very good still

Angle is hard to judge on this one, but whatever. Not trying to be too picky here

@Jedd Johnson lever feat here is studly too

Bunch of studs being posted here. Men with forklifts and big wrists

Love it, these are friggin awesome.... Jedd doing 20lbs+an inch incredible. Thats like my ultimate grip goal. 

 

Hope Joe Sullivan is still doing some levering..  He was/is the King of sledgehammers... Slims the god.

I shared full video on Gripboard from August 2018, 2 days before I certified on the MM2 Hand Gripper - which was not the wisest thing to do in preparation. 20LB Stamped (22.5 LB) Zero doubt Joe Sullivan was the best I had ever seen at sledgehammer levering.

Second video was from Spring '23 much different but pretty difficult especially seated and off-hand.

Awesome contributions and amazing power, my brother!

That was probably the strictest 20lb sledge I ever did.

I haven't heard from Joe Sullivan in at least 2 years.

I saw him at an arm wrestling tournament last fall, he is almost entirely focused on arm wrestling these days and doing almost no grip work, sold a bunch of his implements as well and also leaned out a little

Darn, understandable though. Armwrestling is very demanding. 

I found this video super impressive.

I see that from what I read! I read a lot of old posts and stuff from him, all the videos were sadly deleted :(

Not to worry. I'll make a change and start getting the highest lever numbers myself ;)

No doubt! I think he levered to nose Double 20 LB x 2-3 reps! One of his best was holding Inch DB and levering 20 LB x 6 reps!

Steve Legreid is another who can lever a 20 LB and levers quite often- He is very strong dude and similar body type to Big Joe Sullivan.

Just found one of his videos.

Very strong dude! What a beast! 

I wonder what his and Joe's wingspan are. 

I'm 6'0 and 250lbs, but my wingspan is 6'4.
