It's been a while!
Wow. It's been several years. I hope there are people still doing this! I just re-started again today. I was moving some stuff around and found my two shovelgloves (a ten pounder and twelve pounder) in my office and just on a lark started up again. I walk a lot (using my FitBit and my Inspire gadget...

Twice one's weight might be brutally hard, but what incentive to trim down :-) Hmmm... Doing my weight in pounds is actually doable. That only adds another 50-60 pushups per day. :-) I think I'll stick to twice my age. Age sounds good too (for now -- I'd be curious whether there are any 80 year old...

As of a couple of days ago, I have been shovelgloving for 6 months.
Sometimes I do the shovelglove in my cubicle, while babysitting a build. All my officemates think it's normal now.

Even though Monday was Christmas, I treated myself to a normal shovelglove session.

I can now do 15 chest down to the floor pushups, slowly, with good form, without needing to rest. Shovelglove is great!!!
