# 1 best = hammer winds = 10 each way (yes,if you wind the OPPOSITE way - you'll throw normal better- thanks Will Barron- great core stuff) slow and long arms , 3-4 sets(hint - use double sided tape on handle so you don't have to mess w. tacky).....#2 = do the same thing w. a 25lb - 45lb plate - focus on proper positions. I use it as a warm up before lifting.

In my gym we have a set of the dbells that you can put wt on yourself. I use to take those and do hammer winds every morning. I would do 5 sets just like regular hammer. I focus the most on long arms and the final pull and block phase. I also put a small rope thru one of the core balls. Thats a med ball with a handle. Or my favorite is putting a rope thru weight plates get a couple of 10 pound wts and put the rope thru them and there you go. This really helped me out a few yrs ago when i had trouble breaking 100. Hope this helps

Excuse my ignorance as I'm new to this, but I always thought hammer winds were just like the regular hammer without the release. So my question is, what is a hammer wind and how do you do it? Was I right in my assumption, just like a hammer but no release? |

yes travis you just wind the hammer like you were going to throw it but do not release it. Larry your throwing like 5 times a week right now i am sure of it. You better be because Craig said he was going to take your hammer title from you next yr. |

Mike ,, Thanks .... That felt great using the plates ! Larry ... I would .. but it's hard to find the hammers in the snow ! As soon as I can , I'm going to start throwing inside a huge warehouse ! With the indoor hammer I made out of chain ! Works Great ! Bret |
