I wonder if the tire hammering is as healthy as shovelgloving. It's a lot of stress to hit something repeatedly, and with a shoglo, you have to slow the hammer down with each strike, which provides (in my head anyway) most of the workout.

It's really motivating reading this account. I also wasn't thrilled with Home Depot, though mine's prices were lower. I could only find an 8 pounder, and bought it anyway. I found the exercise to be challenging, but I had that mental macho thing going on, and really wanted to start at 12. I returned...

It's not going to take away 100% of the damage a missed strike causes, but it does add in a margin for error, and everybody has an old ugly sweater...
