That is so great. Reinhard, I know you've said that you don't want to make money off people by making specialized equipment when people can go buy it from the hardware store. But how about a line of official shovelglove toppers? Sledgehammer cozies? I have an old sweater around my hammer like the ne...

I've gotten mixed reactions. Some of my friends are now doing it, too. Others made fun. I decided not to tell anyone else and in 4 months or so I think everyone will start asking me what I've been doing.

Week 4 Bicep: 15 Thigh: 28 Thanks for your support everybody. I hit a little slowing down as far as results this week but that's OK. I'm finding it easier and easier to turn down snacks and to not get a soda when I go out to eat, and I still look forward to shovelglove every morning. Bicep went up,...

Mark's Weekly Check In

I want to simplify, and just do a weekly check in. I've been doing shovelglove and a not quite 100% attempt at No S for about 2 weeks. What I mean by that is the rules of No S influence me. It has prevented me from going to the gas station for a soda the last two weeks, but I do have a little snack ...

Yes, I think my build has filled out since I was 21, so don't think I could physically get back to 185.

I came across the concept of this kind of weight fluctuation when I was introduced to the Google 15. It's a tool someone at Google made, where you input your scale weight everyday, and they average the last 15 days and tell you your actual weight.

Just crazy enough to work

I started shovelglove this week, the day after I first heard about it. I've been very aware of my need to be healthier for a few years. I am a web programmer, and I work on a health and wellness application, so I'm very familiar with the recommended way to stay in shape, in a nutshell: nutrition and...
