Sandbags are the implement du jure at the moment. Having said that, I hate the friggen things - heavy and uncooperative :P

Give me a nice, clean, simple barbell or sledge any day...sandies are too much like hard work (tm) :D

Ya know, the whole thing about "stealing" ideas? Not quite so. It's a bit more more complicated than that. I wrote a story in the early 1990s about a dragon and a little girl where I mentally pictured Sean Connery as the "voice" of the dragon. Then along comes Dragonheart. Did they steal the idea? Of course not! That's just one of those blisteringly obvious things.

If they "stole" it from anyone, it might have been Krista Scott-Dixon. Her Stumptuous website has some stuff about sandbags and how to use sand to make weights and heavy things to throw around.

Carlos Santana, a well-known functional-fitness authority/trainer in FL, has used sandbags and fire department dummies, for years. He has clients flinging those 100-lb. sacks around as though they were 10-lb weights.

Isn't that rather the point of exercise?

It's a trick. Get an axe.

I don't know. Seems different enough (and not nearly as much fun).

Anyway, as I point out on the shovelglove home page, there's plenty of historical precedent for shovelglove, it's not like I created it ex nihilo. And if shovelglove itself serves as precedent for other routines, amen. Some acknowledgment would be nice, but I don't think in this case it's warranted.

Plus he can really wail on that axe.
