I have seen someone hit themselvs in the face from the recoil of the hammer....good way to get a broken nose You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Possibly, I don't know too much about kettlebells.. I know they're really popular these days but they're so expensive ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I usually alternate between tyre flips and then hitting it with the hammer. Its a different animal to a weighted workout obviously, focusing on conditioning / cardio. Great piece of kit and not expensive. Ben, I think it would be right up your street, lot of Thai boxers use the tyre for footwork as well, bouncing on the tyre kinda shadow boxing style. you can vary the focus of the hammer swing from having it flat on the ground to leaning it against a wall and swinging the hammer like a baseball bat type of movement. you can also lodge sandbags inside the tyre to increase the weight for flips ( if you need to..... I dont LOL! ) Ben...... get a tyre and sledgehammer You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
