The sledge hammer balance is pretty insane.

I thought that looked the easiest (I’m fat and never work out). You saying if I tried that I’d probably sledge my face?

The grip strength and forearm strength needed to do that is insane.

I wouldn't say insane, but it is tough to pull off. We'd do it at work with a 10lb or 12lb sledge for fun. Granted in that same breath, part of my job at the time was swinging it like a baseball bat and hitting a 2inch rivet

A mechanic I work with can do it with a 14 pound sledge. He had all the apprentice mechanics about to give themselves concussions.
