The Results are In

I completed my hammer bash yesterday in Kirkbymoorside North Yorkshire.

Managed to raise £700+ for the Charity Children In Distress

Total Strikes = 791 in 1 Hour

Thanks to Pat Hodgson and his lads Mike and Max for help with the counting, motivation and pics.

To make the most of the 1 hour time limit I basically did 50 odd sets of 12-15 strikes in 30-35 second batches resting in whatever was left of the minute and just kept going. Although Pat was timing I kept an eye on my Gymboss Timer set at 1 min intervals, with a big 2 min set at the end to get my rep count up.

I'd highly recommend this test to anyone wanting a target to chase and something to aim for. Any questions on training for such an event drop me a line

    Rob,
    This is truly inspirational stuff! I'm beginning to develop a thing for sledgehammers, and I was wondering what type of company you contacted to make you a 25kg sledgehammer? I'm looking for someone to make me a 20kg sledgehammer here in Cape Town, and everybody just looks at me as if I'm smoking my socks... By the way, saw your 80kg KB flip on Adam Glass' site--totally sick!

    Sorry man, just saw your post on the Home page--I will contact London kettlebell for a custom sledgehammer, no need to reply to my previous post!
