Please call Coca Cola's corporate HQ in Atlanta, GA to express your displeasure over their opposition to Georgia's Religious Freedom Bill.
Please be polite when you call.

If you’re not already boycotting Coca Cola over their long-time Gaystapo cr@p, SHAME ON YOU!!!! (Not directed to you, ealgeone, just to anyone else not informed.)
That's Pepsi, and they're even more homoFascist than Coke.
Remember to research ALL Coke product, not just Coca Cola, to boycott. They are huge.
A post hold digger will shape muscle but it isn’t going to add a lot. A post hole digger isn’t going to work the legs. Or add substantial muscle. Use a post hole digger for three years and you still won’t be able to deadlift 405 pounds, unless you could already do so before you started. It will add a LOT of muscle endurance and definition of the muscle you do have though, just as a kettle bell does.
TRUE THAT!! Especially when you're using that post hole digger to dig a 14" diameter, 3' deep hole in CLAY for one of your amateur radio tower guy wire anchors .....
Wow, was that a workout!!!
“Giving up just soda is no silver bullet but giving up liquid calories along with a smart diet and exercise plan will produce results.”
Well, see, that’s my point. While that is true for some people, for others it is not.
IF you burn more calories than you consume you will lose weight, period. Everyone.
“IF you burn more calories than you consume you will lose weight, period. Everyone.”
Sorry to contradict, but no, not everyone.
If you watch for them, every now and again you’ll find another article about somebody who starved to death trying to lose weight, without having lost a microgram.
How much have you used a real post digger to plant real posts, not landscape timbers in soft ground? It will give you a workout and yes you will feel it in your legs. As far as weight lifting no but it is a great work out. There is always hauling feed and bucking hay to work on the weight lifting aspect.
Nonsense. It’s a physical law, if you burn more than you consume you lose weight. If one has a very slow metabolism (from inactivity) they will need to speed it up through exercise and adding muscle mass. Sounds like someone is just trying to rationalize their inability to do what it takes to lose weight.
Granted it’s a great workout, no disputing that. But you called it a great piece of “body-building” equipment. Body building is generally associated with adding substantial muscle mass and post hole digging isn’t going to do that. Now lifting and throwing hay bales is another thing altogether. Lots of those humongus college football linemen got that way from hay bales and hauling feed - no doubt. I think we are in basic agreement though - someone who works a hard farm life doesn’t need to worry about going to the gym.
Of course understand that they own like half the non-alcoholic beverage industry. Boycotting Coke ain’t easy.
I wonder about the politics of Royal Crown Cola.
Then you aren't digging the holes deep enough.
I'll tell you what, you dig post holes and I'll do heavy squats and lets see who's added more muscle to their legs at the end of a year.
I don't doubt you'll add more muscle mass. It depends on whether you're wanting to build fast or slow twitch muscle. If you're just after bulk, then you want fast-twitch.
I am a farmer, and I guarantee he knows what he is talking about on posthole diggers.
And it actually does something constructive, not just exercising.
If it’s polite that you want, I cordially invite you to kiss my ass.
“Nonsense. It’s a physical law”
As was the geocentric model of the universe...until it wasn’t.
“Sounds like someone is just trying to rationalize their inability to do what it takes to lose weight.”
That’s just petty.
I used to be a national caliber athlete, and maintained a very healthy weight for so long as I was able to exercise at insane levels.
When I was no longer able to maintain that level of exercise, I put on weight, and no amount of dieting or hobbling around a park will do a thing about it.
The metabolism is much, much more complex than “calories in minus calories out.” Why don’t you go to Wiki on metabolic syndrome, and click some of the links?
Given the extreme resistance of those for whom reducing is easy to the notion that it is not just as easy for everyone, I suspect this is a form of the Dunning–Kruger effect, “A cognitive bias wherein...highly skilled individuals may underestimate their relative competence, erroneously assuming that tasks that are easy for them are also easy for others.”
Exactly. You build bulk first (which will add body fat) during the bulking phase then shape the muscle during the shaping phase then rip it up during the conditioning phase. (which will reduce body fat). All phases are equally important for overall fitness. My goal every year is to add about 5 pounds of muscle by the end of the conditions phase while keeping body fat at about 10%. This can be accomplished by anyone without the need for chemical help.
