Shovelglove workshop
Shovelglove workshop
I gave a shovelglove workshop last weekend. Don't get too excited, it was basically me demonstrating shovelglove for less than half-dozen people. But it was fun, they got to try it, at a variety of weights (I had my 4lb, 8lb, 10lb, and 16lb sledgehammers), to see what it was like. Everyone present was a friend who has been listening to me babble endlessly about shovelglove for months now.
It went pretty well, some of them are thinking about getting a sledgehammer now. We didn't really get past the "try the moves out" stage; I think if I (or anyone else) does one of these again, you may want to consider trying to do sustained exercise for 14 minutes. It's not like the moves are terribly difficult; if people see an experienced shugger doing the moves, it will be reasonably easy to emulate.
People were most interested, I think, because they new that shugging (and No-S) is largely responsible for the obvious physical changes in me over the past several months.
I just wanted to document this, after some gentle prodding by Reinhard... heh heh heh.

That's funny (certified SG instructor) because it just utterly violates everything that SG is all about....
I can see it now, "Lesson one, class, go read www.shovelglove.com and do what it says."
The next week: "Lesson two, class, go read www.shovelglove.com and do what it says."
Etc etc etc

Behold, the church of the mighty and holy shovelglove!
"Master, how many times must I perform the butter churn? 7 times?
"Nay, 70 times 7...or for 14 minutes, whichever comes first."
"Yay, though I urban ranger through the valley of death Thou art my Sledge and my Shovel. Surely small portions and good health shall follow me all the days of my life."
"Give us this day, our daily bread (provided it fits on a sensible plate)"
We could re-write the bible around the Every Day Systems, and create a religion!
