New Workout - the 4,800 lb concrete lift

For all of you out there who had some sort of fitness goal as one of your New Year's Resolutions, I've got a GREAT new workout that's sure to break your back!

First, order 80 bags of 60 lb concrete mix, have it delivered to your driveway



Then, carry one of the previously mentioned bags of concrete mix to your backyard (fortunately the 60 pound bags are "easy to handle", vs the much heftier 80 pound bags)



And finally, repeat 79 more times




***NOTE - THIS WORKOUT IS NOT ADVISABLE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PURPOSE FOR 4,800 POUNDS OF CONCRETE MIX..BECAUSE THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO CARRY IT BACK TO THE DRIVEWAY AND HAVE IT HAULED AWAY***

So I realize that this is my first post in several months, but there are several factors to blame for my lack of pizza-oven-building, which include (but are not limited to):
  1. The freezing weather in early February
  2. My two-week vacation to Nigeria to find a bride(s)
  3. Alcohol
Also, I recently quit my job so I could fully focus on the oven. KIDDING! I start my new job next Monday. Besides, if I can't pay my mortgage, I lose my yard, and the bank that forecloses on my house gets 80 bags of concrete (cause I sure as hell ain't gonna take it with me!)

Next step is actually mixing/pouring the concrete. I would do it this weekend, but I'll be in New York Thursday through Sunday doing extensive pizza research at the finest pizzerias in the Big Apple. Plus I need some time for my back to recover after hauling all those bags (proper lifting techniques can only help so much...).

HOWEVER! April 16...it's goin dowwwwn...gonna rent a mixer...it's goin dowwwwn...gonna pour my slab...it's goin dowwwwn...dunno wtf i'm doin but it's guaranteed to go dowwwwn
