Exercise for lifting giant pumpkins

>  I thought I would let my friends and relatives in on a little secret
> I’ve found for building up my arm and
> shoulder muscles. You may wish to adopt this regime 3 days a week.
> Start by standing behind the
> house, and with a 5 pound potato sack in each hand, I extend my arms
> straight out to my sides and hold
> them there as long as I can. After a while 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 out
> for more than a full minute! This was real work, but the results were
> worth it! Next, I started putting
> potatoes in the sacks, but I would caution you not to overdo it at
> this level.
