Congratulations to the One Man Wrecking Crew, himself, Josh McIntyre.

Josh did more in the One Hand Deadlift than David Arquette and Charlie Sheen could probably do in the Two Man Deadlift last week, pulling 405-lbs to a legal height over the knee.
Freakin’ awesome, bro, and another win in the books.
This week’s challenge is the Sledge Hammer Deadlift
Here are the quality specs I want to see for this lift this week.
1. Must use a 6-lb (or heavier) Sledge Hammer / Post Mall, etc to perform the feat.
2. Must measure the handle of the device on video and show the 25-inch mark. Put a piece of tape on the handle at the 25-inch point. You must grasp the handle of the device behind this marker – no contact with the marker during the lift is permitted.


Lift to upright position and return to the floor without knocking off the coin.
3. The Hammer/Mall/Etc must start in a flat position on the floor with a coin on top of it (coin can not be taped or glued to the device – it must be free to slide/bounce/etc)

Tape at 25-inches. Hand must remain behind this mark on the handle. If you want to go from the end, that is more challenging.

4. The athlete must grip behind the 25-inch mark and deadlift the sledge hammer to the full standing position, pause momentarily, and then return the sledge hammer under control to the floor. Upon completion of the lift, the coin must remain on the head of the leverage device. Bouncing is permitted as long as the coin does not fall off.
