I could throw a 100 pound bale of hay 5 ft. over my head on top of other bales already on the trucks.
The days were long, but I needed money because my parents ween't rich. None of us were rich back then.
We worked and thought nothing of it. It gave us a sense of accomplishment and pride in ourselves.
And, at nearly 80 years of age, I still look back on that time and have a sense of well-being.
Now you could probably out work a twenty five year old.
