I work in construction. Should I still be expected to lift with such a fisical job? My body is always sore
>>
>>39787406
work out before work and eat more.
>>
>>39787435
this, and sleep more, and drink more water.
You'll also probably want to learn to love certain supplements.
>>
>>39787442
Steroids, or actual supplements?
It isn't unheard of to hop on gear to be able to work an active job more and longer.
>>
>>39787448
>Steroids, or actual supplements?
Well, either or, depending on how far you want to take it. But I meant just regular store supplements.
>>
>>39787435
Wouldn't working out before make you more tired on the job site?
>>
I work construction and I lift too, you can still go 6 days a week no problem. Good luck on trying to lift before work.. I wake up at 4am as is just to get to work by 600. I just race home so I can get a good hour of lifting in before I have to start slamming food into me.... it gets tough trying to eat 3500+ of healthy food... really this has been the hardest part for me, finding ways to get enough food with only a single 20 minute break during the day... meal prep ill be your friend.

>fisical

>>39787495
hey pal there is a reason us dumb guys end up in construction
>>
>>39787490
>one 20 minute break in a full work day of physical labour
Jesus Christ do you live in South America bro?
>>
>>39787511
colorado.. and that was for a 10 hour day
>>
>>39787490
Framer?
>>
>>39787521
Don't they have labour laws against that?
>>
How about you get a job that isn't shit? Laboring is for retards.
>>
>>39787523
nah, im a sparky
>>39787534
yeah but we get a 20 minute paid break so we can get home earlier
>>
>>39787535
Someone's got to do it.

>>39787406
>fisical
You're not very bright are you?
>>
>>39787406
you can still lift heavy 1-2 per week bare minimum.

ive always gymmed while working framing, concrete, roofing. dont be a pussy.
>>
>>39787733
Do you train before or after work
>>
>>39787490
go to bed as soon as you get home and wake up at 2am. There, now you lift before work. Not hard.
>>
>>39787844
That sounds fucking awful. Nobody should have to live like that
>>
>>39787406
If your going to lift and work i woulden't try cutting. Make sure you have a solid sleep schedule. If calories are hard something like nuts is easy to eat.

Your body should get used to the work you put in at your construction job so if you are always sore i would guess that you started not long ago and then i would not start lifting now.

Last year I had to work 10 hours a day with 2 hours travel time I lost all my gains and got fat as fuck trying to make gains while working labor construction and these hours sucks
>>
God framing was the shittiest job I ever had. Never again.
>>
>>39788106
Tying yourself off is impractical when on a roof or joists. Yeah, it's the law but nobody does it
>>
>>39788158
>excuses
>it's the law but nobody does it
Maybe in your backwards country.

I don't give a shit. I'm going home to my kids at the end of the day, and I'm keeping my job. If I get seen on a roof without a fall-restraint or fall-arrest harness, I'm down the road, no ifs ands or buts.

>impractical
have you heard of a latchways system? Look into it.
>>
The guys I work with are old school Italians. No safeties. Walking perimeter walls up 30 ft. Fuck that shit. I get vertigo and need some reassurance
>>
Keep working until you get used to it. You'll eventually not be sore anymore. Then you can start working. And like others mentioned, make sure you eat plenty and proper.
>>

Find some new guys to work with, it's a timebomb.

If you're always sore that means you're body is already having a hard time recovering
adding even more volume to your week would mean demanding even more recovery from your body, at which point it will fail

tl;dr no

Where do you think your food comes from?
>>
>>39788115
how long does it take you to eat? I work 10-12 hour shifts and still lift in the mornings as soon as I get out of bed.

Work isnt lifting or training. YOur body gets used to it after a few weeks.
It makes you move, which is good, and lets you burn more calories.

But its not training.
>>
>>39787521
Get a union job
>>
>>39791775
The problem is you're supposed to rest between training days. How do you do that if you have a physically demanding job?
>>
>>39791782
"Rest" is relative. If you work a labor job, you just have to eat more and try to get better/more sleep.

Construction is physical enough to do any damage to your recovery. It may even help your recovery as youre moving isntead of being sedentary.

I cycle to and from work. And there i stack hundreds of 25kg sacks, or push around 55kg cases. A long with often running around.
And i would say it does affect the recovery to a degree, but not much at all when i eat and sleep enough.
>>
>>39791825
>Construction isnt physical enough to do any damage to your recovery

It may act as what they call "active recovery"
>>
>>39788119
Not most construction jobs.

Besides, 'skilled' laborers work for themselves.
>>
Most construction jobs are basically slav labor

i'm an operator and make like 90-110k a year depending on how much i feel like working

that was only 3 years from the very start.

Post secondary education fags how much did you make after incurring 60k debt? i'm waiting to hear it
>>
>>39791389
I do. I see her on my days off and we lift together.
>>
>>39787877
that's exactly how I live. I cherish my mornings because I love lifting with morning energy.
>>
>>39791820
Spics are the ones on construction sites though.

yes, haha i surely fell for the secondary education meme friend :)
>>
>>39787481
Yes, he's retarded, that shit can cause some serious accidents.
>>
>>39794460
how did you get into that line of work?
>>
>>39787495
My brother does this. Wakes up at 5am. Starts work at 6am. Home at 6pm. Gym at 6:15 then asleep at 9pm latest. 7 days a week. Not ideal but the best routine he has found
>>
If you are a materials technician in construction just go on concrete pours and don't slump every load. Just make your cubes and do slumps if an engineer etc. Is watching. Then you have all day to eat food you brought with you and chill out inbetween making cubes etc
