  • Outstanding Idaho Workout.

    I thought I would let you in 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.

    Spanky: Make sure they're genuine Idaho Potato sacks.

    Interesting, but weights will work great too

    Here are some good shoulder and arm routines:
    Shoulders:
    Front raises - you can do thses with a standing barbell, standing dumbell, standing cable with straight bar or rope handle, or with a D-handle, Lying cable raise, standing machine raise.

    Lateral Raises - Standing dumbell (bilateral and unilateral), standing cable raise to front of body or behind the back, stadning or seat machine raise, inline lateral raise, or eccentric-accentuated lateral raise.

    Rear Raises (bent-over) - Dumbell, incline bench, cable, head on bench with dumbell, cable on incline bench, standing cable, power raise, reverse peck deck flye.

    Choose 3-5 exercises, with 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps.

    Biceps: There are lots of bicep exercises, these are the best mass builders - Barbell curl, hammer curls, and dumbell curl

    Triceps: Same here, - Close-grip bech press, dip, barbell triceps extensions

    Do 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps
