Levering
-
Levering is the use of either a sledge hammer or a wrist leverage bar to train the wrists. It also places significant stress on the supporting grip of the hand. Levering is done to the front, rear, side, and overhead. Because of the high torque that is created by even a light weight, it is important to minimize injury risk by performing the exercises slowly, with strict attention to form. When comparing feats of levering strength with others, it is assumed a 32” sledge is being held at the end of the handle. Many attribute wrist strength developed via levering to be responsible for their success at bending short steel.
