Brilliant. Strongest people I've ever known, male & female, are farm folk.
I have much better things to do with lumber.especialy with the l;umber being 4x the price it was a year ago...not a good time to be building a new home.
In cadaver lab you can tell the old farmers by the thickening of the bone at the attachment of muscle. Workout warriors don't have the farmers' degree of bone thickening.Quote:

Yup, but it's much worse than just one hurricane. In addition to the hurricane there's a massive oversupply in logs from woodlot owners, so they haven't seen prices move at all. Just before the pandemic the price of board wasn't great, so a bunch of the big OSB and plywood manufacturers shut down a bunch of their mills. Then the pandemic hit and everybody started building. That caused a massive bottleneck at the mill level, which means they're just rolling in money right now. Their raw material cost hasn't changed at all, but the finished price is up like 800% or something. It's just crazy.Quote:

If I am going to expend that much energy I want something tangible in return. New shingles on the roof, new fence line built, trees planted, or a garden where all the weeds have been hoed. "working out" is just a waste of energy if you don't accomplish anything. This guy proved you don't need a factory made workout machine. Dig a few post holes by hand and carry the posts uphill to the holes and you have proved you don't need a machine at all.
yup the pied piper knows how to work.I agree totaly.and Im almost finished with the 2 story barn I built my self.
Well, you are right that doing work will make you strong. Look at farmers' bodies and the muscle attachments. But, what work does not do is make a balanced body. Properly done, exercise creates a balanced body, symmetry, reduction of injury, increased stamina.Quote:

You couldn't carry a 30 lbs hunk of steel anywhere today without causing alarm.
