I wanted to mix up the wall ball workout with something unique, so I selected the sledge hammer. Wall balls are always a guarantee that your ass and legs hurt the next day. I wanted to use my core and get some upper body workout in, so I used a sledge hammer.
I created a workout where I would be rewarded for not quitting; however, if I did quit then the workout would be a bit more painful. For me, these challenges keep me going. I always have more in the tank, if there is a penalty for quitting.
I had to find a pace I could maintain. I didn’t want to blow out on my way to 800 reps. I enjoy workouts that are long, incorporating new movements, and which effectively work certain muscles. This workout did just that.
Now knowing how sore I got from using both of these movements together, I will definitely incorporate them more into my workouts. If you are going to try workout, scale the weight accordingly. Also, definitely don’t expect to do all of the wall balls without stopping many times.
