Vanquisher You Make Hulk Hogan Jealous Gold Medalist October Hulk Schwetty Seal

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room on each side.

With a 5-lb. potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.

Each day you’ll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb. potato sacks.

Then try 50-lb. potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I’m at this level).

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.

Love it! That’s my kind of weightlifting! Although I would probably want to choose the smallest potato I could find. :)
