You get to sweating a bit, and I doubt it's good for your back in the long run, but its certainly doable

(I used to work in a freight terminal - we would load 2 or 3 trucks with 20-30 Kg packages over a 2 hour period.. and none of us were 'buff' by any stretch of the imagination).

Yeah, but how were John Henry and the steam drill doing the next morning?

"The 45-chapter novel was published in 31 weekly installments in Dickens's new literary periodical titled All the Year Round. From April 1859 to November 1859, Dickens also republished the chapters as eight monthly sections in green covers. All but three of Dickens's previous novels had appeared only as monthly instalments. The first weekly instalment of A Tale of Two Cities ran in the first issue of All the Year Round on 30 April 1859. The last ran thirty weeks later, on 26 November."

That's not being hypocritical. Maybe you could call it a 'double standard'. But really, it's just different standards. One for sex, one for violence. A better example of hypocritical would be funding a Maplethorpe art piece, and arresting him on indecency for displaying it. Requiring ID to buy Playboy with naked white women, but putting National Geographic, with naked black women, in the school library.
