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.

For those who like "scenario-driven workouts" (a great idea BTW), I found this last night on Ross' forum. They are devising workout scenarios for each of Hercule's 12 mythical labors, like slaying the hydra, cleaning the stables, etc.
Lots of general conditioning stuff, with scenario ideas like this:
Slay the Nemean Lion
- Carry sandbag 100m (wrestle the lion)
- Drag sandbag or weighted sled 100m (take lion body back to king)
Or, for the SG angle...
Slay the Hydra
- Beat tire 10-20x per side, per head (or fireman move)
- For the torching, maybe 2 hammers (4-6 pounders?), one hand chops the other thrusts the "torch", repeat other side, per head, etc
- Bury the immortal head -- shoveling move
- Drop the heavy rock -- sandbag deadlifts / drops
Just some ideas off the top of my head. They have tons more over there.
