When it was 6m x 2m they sent me some guys to help, but once it was at least cut in half I was on my own - one of the half sheets of 4mm steel weighed 415kg. Shuffling that around to cut it within 1mm wasn't easy, I can tell you. And then I'd have to pick up and stack the pieces on the other side after they were cut.

Work started before the regular buses, so I cycled there, 5km or so each way.

I didn't need a gym membership or time swinging off bars in the park, then, I tell you! Not much in the legs, but my upper body got stacked, and I was fit.

Nowadays I am most fond of deadlift-type movements. Most include a knee-bend, so they're a leg workout as well as a pull. And they're quite relevant to everyday life, plenty of times we have to pick something heavy up off the ground.

Well it was all under the table. By the end of the first summer he had me putting down shingles.

Not really hard labour but at age 12 i wasn't mowing lawns and shoveling snow. at that time, it was hard labour. now it is a piece of cake. He paid me cash on a daily basis. it was good money for a 12 year old. I was bored out of my mind at home and that is how i got around it. his father (my uncle) asked him for me and he said - sure. So that is how i got started with it. it was fun though. he did fuck around with me...i remember dancing at ground level while he shot at me with the nail gun. good conditioning!

Sorry type-o....i meant choke the shit out of their little brothers.
