Hit 500 square feet of stamped concrete in a day and paid for it hard

Last Thursday I pushed through 500 sq ft of stamped concrete by myself on a patio job and woke up with my back locked up so bad I couldn't stand straight for two days. That's way too much for one finisher no matter how fast you think you are. Anyone else wreck themselves trying to hit a crazy number solo?

Man I used to think "yeah I can push through anything, just gotta grind it out" but after a day like that you kinda realize the concrete doesn't care how tough you think you are. That 500 number sounds rough as hell.

Nah, grinding through the tough ones is what builds you up.
