Hey guys! How are things? Reddit sent me here, looking for a comprehensive workout that doesn't involve too much cost.

Started Convict Conditioning bodyweight workouts and now I want to start shugging too! I love the primal aspect of it! I train in Wing Chun Kung Fu on Thursday nights too, and I can't wait to get the shovelglove, bodyweight stuff and martial arts going in a good routine. Should be fun Very Happy

I'm looking forward to it guys! Question - what benefits have you guys gained from it? Very Happy

Thanks guys and gals!

Hi Colibri,

Welcome to Shovelglove - I think it's a good addition to your Wing Chun training. I also train the martial arts a couple times a week, and find that Shovelglove has helped me with endurance and all-round strength.

I suggest you start very slowly to avoid injury, stick to a strict 14 minute workout, and as it gets easier, increase the number of reps rather than the weight or time. Try to keep your spine straight during all movements, otherwise you might pull something in your back (I speak from experience).

Shovelglove will help you become what they call "farm strong".

Welcome!

In terms of what I've gained, among other things, I can slaughter everyone I know (with one possible exception) in armwrestling. Granted, I hang with a pretty nerdy crowd, but still.

I've also overheard my friends' kids say things like "Daddy, if you were as strong as Reinhard you could pick me up!" and "Who do you think is stronger, Reinhard or the Hulk?"

Thanks Sixty! I'll try a 10 minute workout if the 14 is too much at first Smile


Hahaha, nice Reinhard Smile

Got myself a 7lb sledgehammer today with a nice blue fiberglass handle. Easy enough to carry but thee leverage makes it very heavy. Can't wait to start on Monday Very Happy

Thank you guys!
