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 think Reinhard posted that link or a similar one before. Those things look wicked, to say the least. I want one. Would love to purchase a 50 lb. just for laughs.
Wow. I have a hard time believing that some of the shovelglove moves would be physiologically possible for anyone with this weight....
Though if I continue more or less doubling the weight I shug every 5 years (fat chance), I should make it to the beast before I retire.
These "war hammers" are pricey... and I like the idea of sticking with tools that aren't specifically designed for exercise. I think my ceiling is going to be the heaviest commercially available sledgehammer (might be there already, with my 20 pounder).
From a practicality standpoint I agree 100%. But I must admit, if income wasn't an issue, I'd love to have a few just for the heck of it. If nothing else, they'd be an interesting conversation piece until one could actually lift them.
