It's a piece of wood. Its a 4x6 which keeps the tire from collapsing when hitting it with the sledge. I usually hit it about the quarter mark of the tire. If you're too close to the wood you'll snap the lag bolts and in the middle (directly across from the piece of wood) you'll collapse the tire.
The piece of wood also has a floor flange on it so you can add olympic weights and use it as a sled. There's an eye bolt at one end to add the rope.
he doesn t do the execution with power , i think u should training and work on that !!!!!! i use some maybe less heavy but do much powerful and explosive!!!!! and believe me is work!!!!
What did you put in the middle of the tire?...does that keep it from moving around and tipping over?...

Has this exercise helped you increase your rows or DL?

No, this routine definitely reduced them. All the cardio killed my single maxes in both. I just didn't eat enough and started losing weight.

If I wanted to work on power I'd definitely not swing the sledge for 2 and half minutes.
If you look at the workout at the beginning I start by running a lap (.8 miles) before swinging the sledge.
Then take a break and start swinging again, break and run sprints for another lap.
Hard to work on power with all that cardio/conditioning.
