Is sledgehammer training a meme?

is sledgehammer training a meme?

can't help but see everyone doing them nowadays .

Do you need to get better at using a sledgehammer?

Other than abs and being a fun cardio there is no point to it.

is it feasable to dual wield hammers?
Would that make your training twice as good?

Do you need to get better at lifting things & putting them back down?

yes but only when they are carefully balanced on my shoulders

try chopping firewood.

My dream Veeky Forums scenario is a two-year stint living in a cabin in the middle of the woods. With enough food stocked/ available to meet macros I'd spend the days chopping down trees and moving logs/reading. As long as I had ESPN access I'd be golden.

same here but this one thing stops me. food. how to you get 3000+ calories of food EVERYDAY in the middle of nowhere...

>lanklets BTFO

>3-4 good friends by your side all living in a cozy log cabin in the middle of the Canadian forest
>you have to chop down trees all day to meet your resource needs in the brutal cold of winter
>after a hard day's work you go back to your cabin and watch tv with all your bros and eat whatever the fuck you want
>see lumberjack tier gains

why can't this be a reality

HUNTING is how i would get my food, maybe us 3 can do it together? sharing gains and stories in the woods

i guess that makes five or four of us?

Rocky did it...

yes

I use a 12lbs sledge for a 10 and 2, behind the back swing, it's fun and lots of muscle groups. Try it for 3 minutes.

Ca.. Can I join?

>I'd spend the days chopping down trees and moving logs

Trust me you would get tired of it after a few days, unless you're just doing this for training

we need to build a secret Veeky Forums gaines compound

1. It is not training

2. It is not very useful

It's training for chopping firewood for people who don't actually need chopped firewood because that is functional strength.

Sounds a little gay man.

Why can't women be bros? Alternatively, why can't I be gay? I'd a femboi, but they're just as catty as women.

Don't know what's more queer you wanting to live in canada or you wanting to live in canada with bunch of other queers working on your bods.

>mom calls me and ask if I can move some soil from our back yard to the front so grass will grow
>being a good son I agree
>after I leave the gym (2:30ish) I head over
>90 degree Florida hear so like 100%humidity also
>she actually needed a whole trailer full so I end up shoving that shit for like a solid hour and a half
>I work out 6 days a week and run 3 miles every morning and feel more exhausted doing this then I ever do
Fuck hitting a tire with a hammer, buy a pile of dirt and move it back and forth, that was a damn good workout

>buy a pile of dirt

Fuck, seriously?

I worked in the oilfield for 3 years swinging hammers. My forearms got thick as fuck and my bench went up 60lbs.

It might be a meme if you're hitting soft shit like tires but I was hittting iron

A shovel would be cheaper and you wouldn't have to use your hands.

You can get a cube of topsoil for about 30-60$.

You can go outside and get it for free. It's not like it has to be quality soil. You're literally just moving it around.

>moving a cube of dirt
>a workout

How many times are you moving it?

If you're younger than 24, merican, and really mean this, look at the back country trail program for the Ccc. Shit changed my life. Came out JACKED. More confident. Lost some of my gains from it but it set me up for life.

It's been proven many times that dual wielding is literally a meme.

>get paid $1300/month

lol fuck off pleb shill

I gained like 20 pounds in a year or so from my job
Then 20 more over 5 years.

I shovel for many hours a day and swing hammers for hours. I can swing a sledge like crazy with actual purpose. And a lot of lifting mostly to challenge myself. Climbing too.

The problem is I stopped working so hard and a combination of it not doing much. It gave me alright upper body strength but my legs are terrible even now.

Working out with weights is way more beneficial and you might get gains if you started skelly like me, but all it will really allow you to do is infinitely swing a hammer and infinitely shovel dirt and gravel (for the two things talked about most here). My body has gotten bigger in the 3-4 months of lifting (with breaks to do said shoveling and hammering for work) than it has in the 5 years of doing that... well maybe not, but my body hit a limit or near it from that and it's gotten bigger since lifting.

ye

I was looking at this for a while but I figured it would just be smelly hippy types who just want to climb and hike and doing mostly mundane boring trail maintenance. What's it like senpai?

Not him, but yes.
I have to have something to validate my existence even though I plan on going into the medical field.
Even though any other jackoff could do the same job, it's the little things.

Grow plants dummy.
Keep bees. Honey for gains. (If you don't throw up after binging on that bee vomit)
It'd take a while for fruit trees to grow though, so buy the land and plant the trees now.

>to live in canada with bunch of other queers working on your bods

Fuck that sounds great and I'm straight.

>5 years of labouring

what does it feel like to be a failure?

nah it's legit, it's how fucking Batman gets Veeky Forums to fight superhaumans

>Kill an elk
>feast on endless elk steaks and roasts and veggies from your garden everyday

I dont see the problem
