This is an old query, but I'll throw my two cents in anyway. The occasional unplanned S day isn't a big deal, but when you're having multiples of them, it shows that you haven't built the habit. My rule is never miss two in a row, find a way to make it happen - a minimal workout is only 14 minutes, ...

variation
To make this just a little more difficult I twist my wrist as I raise the hammer. That doesn't sound too clear; the handle still lays on my forearm for the whole movement, but as I raise the hammer my palm goes from facing my body to facing up. This allows me to raise the hammer just a bit higher an...

I have a baby and a toddler, so I understand needing to take a little break for your self. But if peanut butter and nutella is the only thing keeping you from your goal, it sounds like you're doing pretty well. Why not make this a modification? Officially schedule a PB & N mini-meal at 11:30 or add ...

Thanks. After the first day it didn't hurt, it was just sore, like I had worked hard. So I worked out again today, but I stayed focused on my movement and keeping my core tight. I feel better now than I did before I worked out. It really felt good to work up a sweat and to loosen up my muscles. I wo...

Ouchy Back
Yesterday I was stressed out about work and school and I wasn't really into my workout. Right after I started the hammer seemed extra heavy and I thought that I should use the lighter one, but I didn't want to stop since the timer was running. So I decided to just muscle through it. I did most of my...

sets vs. high reps
I'm doing 3 sets of 15 per side per movement, but I see that a lot of people do high reps, like 50, and do each movement once. Is there a benefit to one way over the other? BTW I started at 7 reps and worked my way up to 15 and stopped there just because the three sets used the 14 minutes almost exa...

my workout
I'm swinging a ten pound hammer, I try to transition from movements as fast as possible - no rest, I do 15 reps on each side, I get through the Shovelglove circuit 3 times with a little extra fireman and sometimes shoveling. It's 20 minutes total, with 15 minutes of Shovelgloving. 1 minute of pain (...

Hello, I'm a former competitive cyclist who has seriously let himself go in the last ten years since getting married and having kids.

A tip I learned from my brief foray into blacksmithing is that varnish causes blisters, so you should sand it off. I use 120grit so its not too slippery, but you could go as fine and smooth as you like. If you don't like the look of bare wood, linseed oil doesn't seem to cause blisters, but eventual...
