For Those Of Us Getting On in Years (and who isn't?)
I thought I would let you, my friends, in on a little secret
I've found for building my arm and shoulder muscles.
You might wish to adopt this regimen - 3 days a week
works well. I start by standing outside behind the house
and, with a 5 pound potato sack in each hand, extend
my arms straight out to my sides and hold them there
as long as I can.
After a few weeks I moved up to 10 pound potato sacks,
then 50 pound potato sacks and finally I got to where I
could lift a 100 pound potato sack in each hand and hold
my arms straight out for more than a full minute!
Next, I started putting a few potatoes in the sacks, but I
would caution you not to overdo it at this level.
:D :D :D :D
