I think that you should sell t-shirts with your quotes.
The everyday systems "manifesto" has some great quotes and I would love to see them on t-shirts. Two quotes in particular that stand out to me are "Maintenance is harder than progress" and "Stay on the plateau." Have you considered selling shirts? I think that you could develop a following with the ...

Epoxy for safety
I recently upgraded to a 16. (Still use the others, but I'm mixing the 16 in a couple times a week) Anyway, I got the 16 for a really good price because the guy at the hardware said that it had "been there for ages" and "people don't need more than a 12 unless they're working on a farm or building a...

A few months ago, I was taking some ribbing from a friend when I described shovelglove. My friend belongs to a chain gym and she got this incredulous tone of voice and raised her eyebrow. “So you’re PRETENDING to work.†Having read about the naysayers and those who doubt on this post I had prep...

It seems like there IS a source for lighter hammers with long handles after all Not sure what the shipping cost is, but the 4 pounder lists at $22.95 right now. http://www.atomicathletic.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=SH468 The 2 and 3 pounders are not hardened metal. On the other side of the ...

No. I’m not a crossfitter, but I do check out the site and have borrowed some ideas. After I saw the movie “300†and found out that the training regimen was basically rebranded crossfit, I was really tempted to go find a crossfit gym. I realized, however, that 6 days a week of super-intense tra...

Yeah. Ross is the guy who got me hitting the tire. What an athlete! I've got a semi tire on the rooftop. I use the 8 and 10 over the shoulder and switch sides. I do Tabata intervals with them a couple times a week. It's great for getting the heart rate up and the cool thing is that I feel like I hav...

Hammers and Objects under 6 pounds
A year ago I showed my mom this site and she loved it. I showed her my eight pounder, but she thought it was too heavy. She has had some back pain and a knee surgery and wanted to be particularly careful. I bought a skinny plastic wiffle ball bat and filled it with sand. Then I used epoxy to seal th...

miss one day . . . no big deal
The key thing is the ability to “recover†when we get off the habit for a day or two. I missed last Thursday, but I got back at it on Friday. In the long term that missed Thursday will mean make no difference to my overall fitness and I choose to not let that missed day weigh at all on my psyche....

Finding the right size hammer . . . the great thing about shovelglove is its low cost. I presently have two hammers; an 8 and a 12. I still use the 8 a lot and do a few exercises with the 12. A person could purchase an 8, 10, 12, and a 16 from the hammer store and it would only cost $120! That’s les...

Shovelglove works the abs! Official Annecdotal Evidence!
I strained an abdominal muscle trying a trick with my dance partner. It's a really mild strain, but I can feel it. I took Monday off, but I decided to shug today. (What can I say? I'm addicted to my 14 minutes!) I tried everything out with my walking stick first and I used the eight pound hammer aft...

lurker turned poster - great exercise!
Awesome stuff here. I have been shugging for about 6 weeks now and I love it. My shoulders feel great and my muscles are a lot firmer. I do a few reps with a walking stick to warm up, do most of the routine with an 8 lb., and do some moves with a 12 lb. I’ve owned the 12 lb. for about three weeks an...
