It's not necessary to spend a lot for a home weight training
setup. You can use household goods as weights. Here's
a program that I endorse:

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

2. 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.

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

4. Over several weeks, try 25-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.)

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



Listen you fat f*** fix your news emailer thingy or tell me who wins every
game between now and Christmas.

Sometimes you make a great deal of sense.

This is not one of those times.
