Manual labour will make you way more fit than going to the gym. 70 years ago, bodybuilders used to believe that you had to do 100 reps of an exercise before upping the weight.

Also, my uncle is a 72yo farmer strong like you would not believe. he got an artificial knee but can still walk trough 3 feet of snow like it was nothing and lift enormous logs all day. I kid you not, I went logging with him (i'm 31) during Christmas break and I could barely lift half of what he did. And I squat 2 plates.
Also, most farmers my age are stronger than me even if they don't have time to lift. Going to a gym is for aesthetic, not to get strong.

So true. I hear Eddie Hall stopped hitting his local aesthetic facility and just decided to lift bales of hay onto a trailer for 8 hours a day leading up to his 500kg deadlift

OMG you're mad strong anon!!!

I work in construction. All it does is break your body down and make you tired. You gain some strength and work capacity but nothing beats a barbell

notice any gains in the forearm or hand department? how does the forearms of you and your co workers look like

>>39911760
Forearms definitely got bigger and hand strength went through the roof. The downside is I also developed carpal tunnel in both hands

i currently work a manual labor job that i think is physically taxing, i pull tubes that are 20 lbs each and i stack them 5 high before i pull. how is that in comparison to your work how's a average day like for you as far as labor goes?
