Do oak barn beams count? I was going to post what happened to me yesterday, but changed my mind, but it will fit here.
I picked up a 10" X 10" X 12' oak beam to load it onto the truck only a few yards away. I was on ice, so in my mind I already had it figured out that if I slipped, I would toss the beam away from me. I slipped, and that's when it occurred to me why refs don't break up hockey fights. Halfway down, I opted to no longer try to push that beam away from me. Amazing how quickly the mind works. I then went into protect-the-fall mode, opting to roll. When the smoke cleared, I had a beam on my side and was pinned, but not for long, for I just rolled myself out from underneath it.
After standing back up and taking inventory, nothing was broken or did I even get bruised, but the log was now in the mud and ice. I stare at it, called it a bastard with a smile, and then proceeded to pick it back up, then loaded it. Five more beams and I was done for the day, but still had to drive 120 miles covered in mud. Today, two guys unloaded the beams bitching the entire time, not believing that I loaded them myself even though I've proved to them a couple months ago that I can do it. Pussies!

Does anyone else like to lift up heavy things, put them back down, and then lift them again?
I'm about a month and a half or two into working out again. Been going to a PT (to use as a motivation at first) and just doing his stuff, but it's time to get a good routine to go with for a few months. Anyone out there happen to know a good strength building 3-4 day split?
