English term or phrase: practiced my rear end off
I practiced my rear end off and became an international concert violinist.

O termo acima aparece numa palestra do TED.com; é perfeitamente compreensível na língua original, mas como traduzir para o Português sem soar estranho? Muito obrigado.

Portuguese translation:Ralei muito
Explanation:
Apenas uma sugestão.
Informal, mas seguindo o espírito da frase inicial.
Também tem a vantagem de ser uma expressão curta (o que é uma mão na roda, se for o caso de um trabalho de legendagem).
