StrongShouldersYou don’t need a big, fancy gym to get a good workout.  You don’t even need conventional barbells and dumbbells to build strong, powerful shoulders.  What you do need … is to push, pull, lift and carry heavy weights.

Farmer’s Walks are a great example of this concept.  Anyone who’s spent any time working on a farm will tell you that every day you’re going to carry heavy buckets, push heavy wheelbarrows, pull something heavy and lift many heavy things.

You can probably find most of stuff that Scott used to make his weights for nearly nothing … maybe you already have some of it.  The point is pick up something heavy and carry it till you can’t carry it anymore.  Drop it, rest and start over.  Get Farm Boy Strong !
