It's so funny you posted this. I spent Saturday pulling weeds and clipped back all these monster hedges around our house. My forearms and lats (well, sort of lats but even going farther down the sides of my back) have been sore since Sunday morning. Oh, and my hands were sore from being in that position, curled around the handles all morning.
I was thinking, I must not be doing enough "functional fitness" or else there just isn't anything that mimics that type of workout. Guess I'll have really developed forearms, a la Popeye, by the time our yard is in shape!
