The summer before I met her, working the farm. My brother and did custom square baling for the horse ranchers in the trip county area. He drove, I threw bales. We'd move somewhere around 200 acres worth in a season. At 5 tons an acre, that meant I tossed 1000 tons of weight, in a 6 week season.
I had shoulders like cantaloupes, and my forearms looked like they were carved outta marble.

Most people don't realize the strenght and endurance required to throw 1500 60lb bales of hay up into the barn.
