I spent five hours on Saturday busting up a 12' x 12' concrete patio that was poured about 6.5" deep. I'm not shredded, but I'm in above average shape for my age at 42.
I felt fine the day of. Just really tired afterwards with a case of tinnitus and a lingering vibration sensation in my arms. But on Sunday I felt like I'd been dragged under a truck. Two big bruises showed up on my knees where I guess the jackhammer came into contact with my body while it was on. Another big red bruise on the palm of my right hand. Four big nasty blisters - two on each hand.
And today I just want to crawl back into bed and sleep for 24 hours. I have massive respect for those of you who may operate one of these monsters for a living.
