I got this hammer like the end of November and I first used it on November 30th, after I watched this video. This technique definitely left me sore, however i enjoyed every bit of it.
Excellent video and explanation of why this technique is important. I’m going start swinging the hammer your way, in addition to the “working style”. Thanks
Thank you for this video brother. I’m a heavyweight boxer. I really wanna do this I’m def getting it. Was talking to old timer Tim Witherspoon he told me to start doing these. Appreciate the video. It’s tough finding a place in nyc to chop wood 😂
You can also do this technique with a power rope medicine ball, what's great about this is if you're technique is off the ball will let you know right away.
Hey is the hammer usable without the 25lb weight because im just stating getting back in shape and i head 8-10lb is the best for beginners but im not sure if thats true or not
I believe it is useable without the plates on inside. I have never taken them off and tried though. You may want to grab a normal ten pound sledge from home depot and hit a tire until it becomes too easy. Then pull the trigger and the more expensive one.
I don't think it's more inefficient. The way you and I do it can generate more power. And if you do use more power, you will spend more energy. However, the way we do it has a better power / energy ratio.
@@DaneWhitted I can cope with myself.... Besides.... Im writing from Siberia..... I will use opportunities of the local market and local pit stop masters..... I need 15 Killoes....
It will last a lifetime, you will get your return on investment if you use it regularly. I wouldn't be afraid to buy it at full price unless the funds are tight.
I've been blacksmithing a lot and Im gonna tell you that this as you called "athletic sport" swing is a working swing. Don't worry, you don't gona miss your target when working this way. And when chopping wood and doing rocks. The first one is athletic, becouse if you gonna work this way you gonna work only yourself. Hitting precisly worked material is easier your way, coz you are fresh.
Makes sense. I have never blacksmithed. But I have become extremely accurate swinging the hammer my way, and therefore I would probably still try to swing it "my way" if I was blacksmithing.
First time is scaaary- will I miss a piece of orange-hot iron? Or a big nail or wedge or something will ricoshette and hit me? But no, it's like magic. Always amazing.

Sounds like you got after it! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the clarification that the head is made of rubber.

Thanks for the feedback Ted! I like the idea of doing both ways. No reason to be one dimensional. Get after it!
I purchase my Hammer in March 2022 and let's just say my core looks better than ever. I am a believer
Nice work Norman! Sounds like it was worth the money.
I like how in the background, the clouds form an image resembling Thor's hammer.
I see mickey mouse
Even better!

Cool Video! I had not considered swinging the hammer in this manner for a workout. Very helpful!

I'm glad you found it helpful brother. I think the sledgehammer would a great addition to your strength and conditioning.
Humble and educational !
This is my best workout and I use exactly the same form to do it ❤
What are you using hitting with the hammer. Tractor tires are expensive
I'm using wood blocks with gym rubber flooring screwed to them. Also, places like tire shops will give away old used tires for free.
You can also do this technique with a power rope medicine ball, what's great about this is if you're technique is off the ball will let you know right away.
Yes! That would be a great substitute for the hammer.

@@DaneWhitted ok thanks for the advice.
How is this filled with extra weight?
It has interchangeable plates on the inside. It is much larger than a regular sledge hammer.
Where might I purchase a hammer like this?
I can't seem to find the correct search term to bring it up on Amazon
tribe-wod.com/products/odin-sledgehammer
That hammer is cool. where did you get it.

Right now I just have the 20lb hammer I swing like that, I plan on upgrading to 30lb, how heavy is that one? And where did you get it?
Watch the video he says
Excellent vid and I don’t say that often
Thank you Jared!
That's how I chop wood I guess I've been doing it the most inefficient way but I guess I'm getting a better work out
I don't think it's more inefficient. The way you and I do it can generate more power. And if you do use more power, you will spend more energy. However, the way we do it has a better power / energy ratio.
Anyone know of an eu shop, of where to buy a hammer with a rubber head for this sort of exercise. Thanks ✌️✌️✌️
Weight of the toy??
25 lbs is the default weight. You can order different plates for it.

What's that block your using to hit it with?
Pieces of posts from a barn I built, and rubber gym flooring.
@@DaneWhitted ok thanks
It is 200 dollars. i am deciding if black friday is the time for this or not.
It will last a lifetime, you will get your return on investment if you use it regularly. I wouldn't be afraid to buy it at full price unless the funds are tight.
@@DaneWhitted I actually just picked up the Odin, the 35 pound add on and the 70 pound Thor.
@@danielengel1295 Excellent choice!
Anyone else ever used the odin hammer as a self defense weapon in your own home or is that just me?
