Hammer And Slam Ball Tag Team With A Kettlebell As An Enforcer

The Road Warriors, the Rock And Roll Express, Edge & Christian, the Steiner Brothers and lets not forget the Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Ole & Gene Anderson); all incredible legendary tag teams in Pro Wrestling. The strength, the agility, the athleticism, the power and whether you loved them or hated them, they got your attention when they came into the ring. A great tag team were two people who had chemistry and flowed with each other to create an impact on opponents and captivate people's imagination. 

Some tag teams had an enforcer but for the most part, the team alone were more than enough. When there was an enforcer, it was someone to keep them in check or get that extra pop with the crowd to get more out of the match and end it with great importance or as a set up for the next event. Now, what the hell does this have to do with exercise? Good question, here's your answer.....A lot of my workouts are based on conditioning and tackling areas of strength, agility, muscular endurance and cardio all at once if possible. Using Supersets to really dig into the nitty gritty of physical work (If it were 4 exercises, in pro wrestling analogy that would be a stable) and just put as much as possible into that kind of training.

I mainly like to use Sandbells, Step Ups, Bear Crawls & Cables for Superset Training but the other day, I wanted to try something different that I've never done before and that's mixing Hammer Work with a Slam Ball. What I ended with was SEVEN + MINUTES OF HELL!!!! On top of that monstrosity of a workout, I added a couple exercises with the Darth Vader Kettlebell as a god damn finisher. I must be out of my damn mind to do something like that. Am I crazy? Most likely. Shit man, I was breathing so hard it made Sprints feel easier. Micro Workouts can be very demanding if you can figure out the right intensity. 

Doing about 10-11 Rounds of the Superset & 10 Presses/10 Swings with the kettlebell, that was more than enough for me for the day and did it with practically no rest. It was brutal but that isn't a workout I want to attempt again for a while. The hammer was my 25 lb Tactical Sledge and the Ball was a 20 lb Death Star Slam Ball. The objective was to do 10 Sledge Strikes (5 each side) and slam the ball 5 times, continually repeating that as many times as you can. 

Just because a workout is super short, doesn't mean it isn't an ass kicker. You will breathe hard like crazy and it's a hell of a testosterone booster along with building natural HGH. Who needs steroids when you can train like this? For real though, there's really no need to juice up when there are better alternatives to strengthening your manhood so to speak. Train with intent to kick ass at many things and make the most of what you have even it's just you and no other form of equipment.
