Two bags up on the shoulder...

Ouch my back hurts now. Got a bit over enthusiastic today getting stuck in and couldn’t be bothered to make the extra trip from the front to load out the bags at the back so put two on my shoulder. Bit stiff and sore now. 50kg on the spine can’t be healthy. How heavy were the old bags? Before my time thankfully.

40kg for undercoat can't remember finish
 
Years ago two bags was effortless, guess I’m not used to it anymore. Best avoided in the future I think. Anyone done three bags? @Tinytom has got some guns bet he could lift three. Let’s have a challenge tomorrow and check in tomorrow night all complaining of crippled back injuries.

I can do 3 but not on shoulder and only take a step . Well I could but I.ve dropped to bits since hitting 40

Worse thing for your back is putting the bag on your shoulders apparently better off bear hugging.
 
15 bags on shoulder up 2 flights was standard practice! I only do 12 now but still do 200sqm for lunchtime then go gym and squat 500kg for a hour! It’s all in the knees (y)

Back when I started cement, Browning, Bonding and finish were all 50kg. It was nothing unusual for guys to carry two bags at a time on their shoulder and I'd occasionally put three bags of dust in the hod to save on journeys.
None of that is big or clever, just how it was.
I once weighed how much muck was going in the hod to be carried up the ladder for rendering, at the request of the lady from h&se. 51kg without being silly full, she nearly had a fit lol.

3 50kg bags into a hod? I don’t believe a word I think I someone woke up with rose tinted glasses on this morning
 
There was a man on site when I was a lad as big as a house used to lift full pallets with his teeth and sprinkle finish on his cornflakes pffft pffft blah blah piss n wind!

I reckon lurpak could easily do 10 bags on his fat head
 
Take some health from tomorrow and use today lifting weight like that. I've done 3 bags but it's dum. Look after yourself. Nobody else will. That's what I learnt
