Stretching before digging post holes isn't just for athletes

I keep hearing that stretching is pointless for our line of work since we're always moving. But after I tweaked my knee from a sudden twist while setting a rail, I changed my tune. Now, I spend five minutes doing simple moves like squat holds and shoulder rolls before any job. It's cut down on my end-of-day aches more than anything else.

Yeah those end-of-day aches are no joke. I should try that, my current warm-up is just groaning when I stand up.
