Sledgehammer GPP

Christian,

Iam very interested in incorporating some sledgehammer and shoulder glider work into my conditioning sessions. I am on an upper/lower split right now, with two of each in a given week. Should I perform these types of GPP as a warmup to my upper training sessions, do them on off days days, or perform them on the same day as my lower body sessions? Also, I have been thinking of some other forms of GPP, what do you think of this one…take a cinder block or a tree stump and find an open area to work in. Then you perform different types of one and two arm throws (both overhand and underhand). Just an idea.

Any forms of throws are very good exercises, provided that you do as many throws with both sides of your body.

I use the glidder at the end of an upper body workout.

The sledgehammer work, and throws would fit well in a “weekend fun session”.
