If I shovel 1000# it feels like the long handle shovel beat me up.

When I was making my above ground fence posts, weighint 175# each, I would make 4 a day and I was hurting. I made 60 of them and was very glad to finish the job.

Too bad I slowed down and my age caught up with me.

Going back to the point of the post, as for ratios and strength. I just use what I have, pit run sand and gravel. But water is also very important, not to add too much, or it will weaken the mix.
I mix mine as dry as I can and still get it out of the mixer.
