Shovelglove : Routines : Evolution

Phase	Months	Movements
1	1-5	Shoveling: 50 Churning Butter: 20 Chopping Wood: 20 No Name: 8 Repeat (usually got 2x the above)
2	6-8	Shoveling: 50 Churning Butter: 50 (tough) Chopping Wood: 50 No Name: 15 Shoveling: 50 I rarely got any farther than this. When I did, I freestyled.
3	9-11	Driving Fence Posts: 50 (tough) Churning Butter: 50 No Name: 15 (surprisingly tough all of a sudden) Shoveling: 50 Chopping Wood: 25 Shoveling: 25 I rarely get any farther than this. When I do, I freestyle. In fact, I usually freestyle instead of the last set of shoveling.
4	12-24	Driving Fence Posts: 50 Churning Butter: 50 Shoveling: 50 No Name: 15 (much easier in slot 4)) Chopping Wood: 25 Hoist the Sack: 15 Freestyle if time.
5a (M-W-F)	25+	Driving Fence Posts: 50 Churning Butter: 50 Shoveling: 50 No Name: 15 (much easier in slot 4)) Chopping Wood: 25 Hoist the Sack: 15 Stoke the oven: 21 Tuck the bales: 21 Freestyle if time (there almost certainly won't be).
5b (T-Th)	25+	Driving Fence Posts: 21 Churning Butter: 21 Shoveling: 21 No Name: 14 Chopping Wood: 21 Hoist the Sack: 14 Stoke the oven: 21 Tuck the bales: 21 Repeat but with fewer reps. The rule is: if you did 21 last time, do 14 this time, if 14, 7, if 7, just skip it. I call this the 21-14-7 routine. It's what I recommended for beginners. Freestyle at any point.
6	Oct 2004- Present	Driving Fence Posts: 42 Churning Butter: 42 Shoveling: 42 No Name: 14 Chopping Wood (swiss automaton style): 14 Hoist the Sack: 14 Stoke the oven: 21 Tuck the bales: 21 The Fireman: 14 Chop Tree: 14

Note: movements are performed given number of times right then given number of times left. So "Shoveling: 50" means 50 right, then 50 left (=100 total).

Use the above as a rough guide, if you like, but try not to obsess over it.
