Re: Creaky's Intro
Hi, Creaky, and welcome. One question - on the SG page are listed about 4 exercises, but when reading the forum there seems to be variations and exercises created by users - is there one posting or page that lists the different variations? Maybe I could use the google search, but am not sure what ke...

Upgrading
You people must be eating your Wheaties! I just upgraded (today) to a new hammer as well, but I only went from 10 pounds to 12. Interestingly, I'm not sore at all (at least not yet...) but I had to take a few breaks during the workout just to get my breath back, and I went slower than usual in gener...

Thanks all
I just put workout #19 under my belt, and decided to check the board, and saw all the suggestions. Freakwitch, I think you're right, it is time to push for Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri. I tried two weeks ago and wasn't quite ready for it - I did Mon/Tues but then skipped Thurs/Fri because I was sore. (Specifi...

One month, two weeks
I just completed workout #17 (since I started a month and a half ago.) I've been sticking to a M-W-F schedule but continue to have ambitions of migrating to Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri. I'm still doing Reinhard's "5b" arrangement, with a few modifications (specifically, I have added extra reps of "hoist the ...

One month of Shovelglove
It's one month to the day since my first workout, and also I did my 11th workout today. I'm still Monday/Wednesday/Friday right now, although I feel ready to give Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday a try. Also, as per Reinhard's advice, I'm going to try and get in fourteen minutes of other exercise on a...

:-)
Thanks all, and don't worry, Deb, shame will only kick in if I give up entirely. I'm quite certain I can maintain - at an absolute minimum - a three-days-a-week schedule, so I don't think that's likely to happen.
I'll make notes on my progress in two more weeks.

Sticking with it
I threatened to post every two weeks... Today is fifteen days after my first day, and today was also my fifth workout. (Five days between 1 and 2, due to sore muscles. Four days between 2 and 3, same reason. Three days between 3 and 4, and three days between 4 and 5 but only because I was so busy ye...

still sore :-)
Thanks for the encouragement and advice. Ariel, your flashback was on target - I way overdid it on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty uncomfortable, and today I'm much improved but still sore, so I decided that SGing today would be pushing it. I'll be giving it another (slightly less intense)...

My first day
I bought a 10-lb. sledgehammer over the weekend and just did my first workout. For reference, I'm 31, male, 5' 11" and 195 pounds, and I haven't been in great shape for about ten years now (I was about 170-175 pounds when I graduated high school, which was the last time I was working out every day. ...
