THIS......so so so SO this. THIS is how you do it.

Not asking a million questions on the forum and then disappearing forever. You take what you've got and you DO IT. Cobble together what you can....use craigslist as a resource, there are usually weight plates on there for dirt cheap.

A chain hammer is a great practice implement. A thirteen foot caber held together with glue and lag bolts ain't fancy but it's a hell of a lot better than NO caber, or the "caber" that the guys who are all talk and no "DO", have. Please don't try to single-arm that 48 pound rock, but two-arm it for a workout? I'm so *there*.

Throw as much as you can, as much as "life" will let you. Get int he gym and push some weights when you can. Then get to a few Games during the season, strap on your kilt and DO IT.

Guid on ye, lad.
