Im SO damn sore!
 

So yesterday I had to dig a couple post holes for a fence Im building in the backyard, so to make things easier i thought I'd rent a 2 man auger to speed things up.

After Digging about 5 post holes hitting a couple rocks and completely tensing up my forearm to the point i couldnt grip the handles anymore, I bowed out and let other people take over. Now its been a day later, and every inch of my upper body is killing me, shoulders, forearms, biceps, chest.. literally everything!! It would've been much easier if I had just
A) Hired someone to do it
B) Dug the whole with those Double sided shovel things.

SO is it just me being a complaining weakling or has anyone else experience as much pain as I'm going through after using an auger?

u need to work out from time to time :)

Come here I'll give you a massage! :winkwink:

take a 2 day rest... have an aspirine and hot bath...
and after 2 days continue with digging...

if it dosen't kill you - it makes you stronger

take a medicine and rest...

my ancle is fucked up for 3 days now, it's hard to even drive, so I kinda understand you, not completly but still, take a pill and go to sleep!

Owie, being sore like that sucks!
Take a hot bath!

Your right, I've had an easier time with the manual type of post hole diggers!

That sucks. We are just getting ready to put up or fence this next weekend. 350 ft of it. ouch

what I like is when you hit a tree root and about breaks your arm.
I had to build a fence for my folks a couple years back and know all about that.
One hole, I had to chisel out the rock and scoop it out by hand.
