Everyday Systems

For grip as a finnisher try 2 sledges together for a set amount of moves (but ease into it)

Days 11 & 12
S day's a little bit over board on Sunday but hey that's what there for aren't they.

Day 13 Nos no problems .No walking done But did a pretty intense SG freestyle session then nh50 push-ups felt good afterwards and slept well.

Day 10 Good day diet good no issues had a nice stew made with organic veg cooked up in a slow cooker (crockpot).Had some strange veg delivered in our home delivery box namely Khol Rabi and something called muzeeni or something. So I bunged them in and it turned out alright.I use this method of cooki...

I'm a bit mixed up with my day numbers.
I think I first posted on 29th Sept for Day 1 on 28th.
So today should be day 10.
That's what working shifts does to your mind.

I agree with you on the way your weight varies but I couldn't help myself as it's the first time I have been under 13 stone for a long time.

Day 8
Well diet good and 30 mins walking SG done.

Day 9
Diet good no Sg done, done a fair bit of walking round the shops.

Day 7 . 30 minutes walking.Diet good but curry again so you may have guessed I'm a bit of a curry addict. Will be having something healthier tonight. Aubergines in garlic and tomatoe with feta cheese and squash. SG done no problems threw in a few more exercises with dumbells.Weighed in at around 80 ...

Day 6

Well a lot better on day 6.
Walking 30 minutes.
Diet ----sardines for lunch and home made chicken Korma for tea.
Shovelglove went well and I really enjoyed the session.

Days 3,4&5

Not too good 4 and 5 were S days but 3 was a bit of an S day as well with no Sg and not too good on the diet front, just a couple of biscuits knocked back my diet.

Yeah I like a thick handle db I have one that I made similar to the Holle it up.Which is good but expensive but then again if it was a present that is awesome.
Ironmind stuff is really good and they have excellent customer service.

Wringing out towels is good and shovelglove is good too.

Hi Vanilla where are you at Grip wise?
I can shut the #2 but not the #3.

reinhard What do you call a big plate?
Size wise?

I don't think the wine was too much to worry about but it was 3 glasses instead of the 2.

Day 2

Nos No problems except an extra glass of wine at night.

Morning 45 mins walking.
Pm 1.5 mile jog and shovelglove.
Slept well

Thanks Deb.
I'm sure you'll get there

Day 1 Although have been S'ging and nos'ing about 2 weeks now Thought I would start a log, (probably update it every few days). Weighed myself 28 th Sept weighed in at 179 lbs. Not to bad food wise although not very healthy Fish and Chips for tea but kept within the guidelines portion wise and no sn...

Yeah I will do (slow down).Think I will stick with your suggested routine though,I did start of too fast come to think of it.
Deb I can understand you going to fast whilst listening to Led Zep.
I remember crashing my car when I was playing Iron Maidens Phantom of the Opera (driving too fast)

Sometimes I like the hard work of a workout it makes me feel alive.
But too much and to often it would make things more likely to quit.I think pacing is the sensible option, as you suggest

2nd week of SG and nearly puked up today.
I am not in too bad shape but it felt hard today, anyone ever get days like this?
Also a bit to over enthusiastic and nearly made a hole in the floor with my sledge.

Good on you Tonsha for doing something about it. Do you follow Salford Rugby League team?

Thanks reinhard.
You really have some good ideas,I thought my diet was pretty good already but I think I must let myself down with snacks (before nos)
I am now below 13 stone for the first time in about 2 years after just over a week on the diet with SG and 15 mins or so extra walking a day.

Just an 8lber at the moment.I can manage to get through the beginner move twice in 14 mins, but don't feel ready to move up yet.
What is you shoveglove song is a Grateful Dead song (have'nt heard anything by them)

I've got that DVD on order should be here soon..I'll let you know what it's like.

Here is the master of levering http://www.functionalhandstrength.com/s ... g_DVD.html

Like a turning of a wheel valve.Rotate back and forth really hit the biceps and shoulders.

Hi Carol
What can I say but respect (10lb shovelglove)

I have a new move also. hands about shoulder width apart and in front (one palms up one palms down) rotate the hammer as though you are turning a wheel.The finnish position will be right hand opposite left shoulder and vice versa when changed hands.

I think the name is pretty legendary on the net now.

Hi Been lurking a week, I spotted shovelglove about 6 months ago and did it a few times,but I am here too stay now.Been on The Nos diet for 5 days now and shovelglove 3 times this week,I need to lose about 10lbs. Just a question how do you include fruit in the diet is it always after the main meals,...
