Take a sledgehammer and wrap an old sweater around it. This is your "shovelglove." Every week day morning, set a timer for 14 minutes. Use the shovelglove to perform shoveling, butter churning, and wood chopping motions until the timer goes off. Stop. Rest on weekends and holidays. Baffled? Intrigued? Charmed? Discuss here.

I was emailed a new move last week and given permission to post it here. I've messed around with it a little, and it seems promising.... Great name, too.

Found your site through Krista's weight lifting site and gotta say -
love it. Got a sledgehammer and have been chopping (and lifting) away.
Thanks so much for creating and maintaining that site! I stumbled upon a
movement you might like, and probably have already discovered, but I'll
say it anyway - I call it pump the water. Holding the sledgehammer
horizontally at hip height with one hand on the end of the handle and
the other about a foot or a little more in from the end to stabilize and
"pump" with the hand on the end. Further out is harder, further in,
easier. Does good to the triceps.
