Casa Nova

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?
