My grandfather worked in a blacksmith shop when he was a boy, and he used to
tell me, when I was a little boy myself, how he had toughened himself up so
he could stand the rigors of blacksmithing.
One story was how he had developed his arm and shoulder muscles. He said he
would stand outside behind the house and, with a 5 pound potato sack in each
hand, extend his arms straight out to his sides and hold them there as long
as he could.
After awhile he tried 10 pound potato sacks, then 50 pound potato sacks and
finally he got to where he could lift a 100 pound potato sack in each hand
and hold his arms straight out for more than a full minute!
Next, he started putting potatoes in the sacks.
