Hi G man!
Sorry you nearly hurled!
Sounds like you did yourself right in...
Not to be pedantic, but you got to listen to your body signals...
Honor them, cause your mind might want to do a lot, but you body knows best...
I overdid it once...
The first day I had my SG and did my first workout at home...
I put on Led Zeppelin and went totally ballistic..
Yes the adrenaline is fun and everything but the next day, wait forget the next day, that day, I was sooooo drained from my wild and wacky workout, I felt like a mack truck had hit me...
I have since then, never overdone it, and I really don't go fast on anything... Just comfortably paced...There's not a lot of room for error if you spazz out for a moment, like you did with your Sg and the smashing the floor incident, because we are talking about a lot of momentum from a leveraged tool... this is why they are so good at smashing walls!
Take Freakwitches advice about choking up (not puke though!) and slow it down boy!
I use a 12 pound sledge (which actually weighs a total of 14 lbs..)
There's plenty of benefit from just moving fluidly and carefully...
Yes, there will be times when you have a "burst" of energy.. Well, then, go with it.... If you are really tired physically, before you SG, I highly recommend skipping it for the day...
Reinhards Shovelglove group here doesn't have any group insurance policy.. Your best bet is to really get "tuned in' and listen to your own signals.. There should be no accidents if you aren't going wild and wooly!
I don't mean to put a damper on your fun... Like all the guys here said, there are sometimes off days... Just be aware and respect your body...
I don't do Reinhards routine because it's just too many reps for me, and I can't move that fast...
I suggest you develop your SG workout entirely based on how your energy level is for the day..
14 minutes of slo-mo is perfectly acceptable!
Peace and Glove~!
