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?
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.
