The 20# sledge came out of retirement as a tool today. I got to smash up my friend's 
concrete pad. The project had a bit different feel than "shugging," as the 
swing to get the beast to crack the concrete was about as Max Effort as something 
with so much leverage/acceleration can be. I found the old boxing trick works (if any 
of you are called upon to smash concrete for some reason), in this case, swing 
through the point of impact. It worked. If you get a chance, I highly recommend 
actually using the hammer now and then. It gives you a very satisfied feeling about 
all the work you put into shuggin'. But that's just my take on it. Have 
fun.
