What about sport specific training though Alan. I mean the weight room is great but what about perfecting the technique.

My only sport was football, I was a linebacker, spent tons of time in the weight room but as much if not more on the field as well.

I can see practising the stone, the hammer, even the shief, how does one practise the caber?

I have thought about getting into this myself, then me thinks I am too old is I. Can't risk screwing up my hands and fingers either, pipes always come first!
