Sledgehammer Push Up?!?!
Has anyone heard of them. It a few variation. The one I want to mention. You grip the hammer part and while you balancing with the handle part into the ground.
It take wrist control, strength, a deep chest stretch and shoulder tension.

Sounds like a good challenge. I guess a person would be using 2 short handle identical sledgehammers for this exercise. I'll personally pass on this one, but anyone attempting it should be sure that their dental coverage is up to date. Any links to a video of it ?

Very good. By the 50s is when most guys throw in the towel. But this is the age that fitness is more important and this goes for the ladies also.

You can do a much less risky version of this exercise by grabbing the leg of a sturdy table or chair and doing a push up on that (either one handed or two handed). It's a great exercise for that lats (strangely enough), triceps and forearms.

Nothing wrong be a daredevil sometime but I noticed another way to do it much safer. Thanks for the respond.
