            They worked for mostly israeli equivalent of what was then the 1%. Have you ever seen a successful black nation? Also slavery has been known to overall weaken nations since at least the time of Socrates. You get addicted to the cheap labor and it hurts innovation. Its part of why the north was able to outclass the south with artillery since that required industry. You fell asleep while reading about that stuff or you just have a israeli cat lady for a teacher?

            shit like this is stupid. some office jobs exist to provide tax breaks, but this is less then 10%. the reason office jobs exist en masse is because we live in an astoundingly wealthy society. those office jobs would not exist if they did not provide value to a company, and that company wouldnt exist if it didnt provide value to someone else. this chain continues for several stages until you end up with abstract ‘bullshit’ like HR, diversity officers, consultancy and compliance jobs. truth is every job outside of farming and building mud huts is fricking useless, but once we humans got these nailed down, we decided we wanted more and the bullshit chain started. as we get wealthier as a society these bullshit jobs are only going to increase in number.

          That's true anon, they do sling shit at each other. It's gotten hilarious in the UK as a tradesman is now earning more than the vast majority office workers and is usually paid in cash. Social stigma and the fact the job fricking sucks in the winter means there's barely any newblood in construction and a massive surplus of workers in offices so pay reflects that. I'm 26 and get paid £250 cash each day or 320 bank and have never taken out a student loan, or any credit. I put money in gold during lockdown and am doing far, far better than all my old school friends that I've met recently. My wife avoided the uni trap so we've got no debt and are looking to buy a nice house without a loan this year hopefully. Just don't take drugs and keep reading hard literature to avoid all the negatives of construction. The amount of my colleagues who are broke as frick at 40 because of coke addiction and broken marriages is depressing.

                You forgot about high interest rates.

                Where the interest rate is lower than the rate of inflation your debt is actually decreasing in real terms (i.e, you are technically benefiting from holding debt, and your creditor is missing out because your debt is 'worth less').
                Not having debt is good if you're able to instead grow your money more than your debt is depreciating.

        Laborers aren’t stronger than lifters. Take two people who are the same size and age, put one on a construction site daily and one in the gym daily. The gym goes will be stronger, healthier, larger, and be less likely to have a dui after any length of time. Laborers are comparing a 35 year old roofer who has been carrying 100lb packs of shingles up ladders for a decade to 20 year old gym goers who started 9 months ago and then pretending the fact that the laborer has better endurance makes them stronger. It’s simply cope.

        The big danger would be to have gym muscles and assume you can handle any awkward heavy object with ease, when you have neither the experience to understand how to lift them or the small coordinating muscles to do it.

        There's also something to be said for endurance though. You don't get farmer strength from being at the gym.

      >How demonstrably different are hard labour muscles compared to gym muscles?
      They're not. At all. Laborers are only better at odd lifts because it's part of the job, and only because the lifter isn't usually doing odd lifts unless they do strongman stuff. If you put a lifter on a construction site they would surpass the laborer after a while. The "muh labor muscles" is a cope from skinnyfat dropouts to feel superior to people amidst a line of work that famously breaks people and leaves them with chronic pain for the rest of their lives. Laborers should also be lifting and focusing on rehab to help offset some of the damages they do to themselves over time, but they can't let go of their pride and actually do it instead of drinking themselves to sleep after they clockout.

      This is false. If anything, laborers have more endurance because most gym-goers aren't pulling an eight hour shift in the weight room, but muh "liftan 100lbs sack of concrete all day lmao pussy" is half bullshit, half lifting with your back and other shit form that'll wreck your shit permanently but "ayy lower your tone because I slave-maxxed". And even if laborers were stronger, their diet of cigarettes, cheap beer, and greasy food mean they're definitely not healthier.

      The big elephant in the room whenever this discussion comes up that's ignored is the simple question of why not do both. And the truth is either one is too exhausted or stiff the next day to do both with any basic degree of seriousness or proficiency, the exception I've noticed are usually roiders or the very rare genetic specimen that are extremely robust and disciplined.

      The guy who said the lifter would mog the laborers at their job neglected to tell you that he will underperform later at the gym and or be too sore to do several shift + lifts end to end without easing up or underperformed on one or the other. I'm not saying you can't do both but both take a lot out of you, and you will more than likely have to make some compromises. There's a reason they aren't comparable on every exact scenario or are often the subject of contention, because both are hard, and to do both is very hard.

      You know all that really specific form shit for doing things like deads or overheads as to not obliterate your spine and other parts of your body? Manual labor is literally impossible to do without destroying yourself. The work they have to do, it is physically impossible for them to move the weight they do in a way that isn't doing immediate permanent damage to their joints, tendons, and spine. Their muscles will grow just the same as a strongman trainer might, but the parts that your body can't repair will be broken before any of it matters.

      They also just get stronger at specific movements they perform regularly, they just have greater variety since they perform them at different or awkward angles and make more use of smaller muscles to balance and stabilize. Some of their strength will translate to weight lifting just like weight lifting will translate to most of their movements that require strength of larger muscle groups.

      They're not whatsoever, blue collar workers have this weird superiority complex to cope with the fact that they are destroying their bodies working for pennies meanwhile I'm working from home shitposting on IST IST.

      Blue collar workers are generally going to be stronger than casual gymgoers just because they're forced to do physical labor all day which is going to get them better results than people who barely do anything at the gym, but if you're pushing yourself as much as possible at the gym then you're going to look better than hard laborers but without all of the permanent spinal injuries.

      it's a technique thing. I can deadlift 405 for reps, but I struggle brining in a 100lb box with odd dimensions into my house, whereas the delivery guy can swing it around. However, that same guy couldn't budge 405. I think if you're stronger on compound lifts with freeweights, you have a greater capacity for "labor" lifts, so to speak, once you figure out how to leverage odd items to lug around.

        There's definitely carryover. I had a heavy ass wood planer I moved with after not hitting the gym for 3 years. I couldn't "lift" the damn thing at all, and had to 2 man move it. All I could manage was lifting a hair off the ground and moving it like 8 inches at a time. I'd estimate my DL 1RM at like 200lb at the time. I bought a home gym a month or 2 after moving and hit the fricking gym. Right now my 1RM is 375, and I just sold the damn thing, and it was like a 5 RPE lift this time around. Frick I could have probably pushed pressed the damn thing.

    Depends on how you work out and what sort of labour you need to do. Yeah I'm sure some fat frick powerlifter will suffer lifting concrete blocks around all day because his endurance is shit and there's no use for a 350kg deadlift on a site. I've done a mix of bodyweight,.cardio and weight training for years, and also worked some time in construction, and the carryover was decent. Didn't have the grip or forearm strength of the boys who've been hauling shit around for decades, but I could carry blocks and fencing all day and break concrete with a hammer out in the sun for hours.

          I think very tall people get a pass, especially if they can easily do a few chin-ups. It's not just the weight, it's the fact that you have to have more torque in your arms since the lever is longer. Brian Shaw can only do 5 pullups and he's not even a powershitter bloatlord but a strongman who's supposed to be fitter.

I have come to appreciate pushing myself on volume and not weight after doing rehab for a couple of snowmobile accidents, and if you have the time to dedicate to it, there’s no substitute.
    But it is also cope because if you want to become a monster slinging stucco or whatever, you need to eat like a gym rat instead of living on toranados, meth, and Mountain Dew like your average stucco guy.

    I have a zoomer in my D&D group who’s a big gym rat (6’3” 230, has done tren in the last year, dunno if he’s cycling currently) and I can never admit that I have a home gym because he’s convinced that I’m strong due to lifestyle and labor instead of lifting, despite the fact that I can beat him arm wrestling or at grip strength and other similar shit, and I can never let go of the inferiority complex I’m giving him.

    People who don't lift are not aware of injury risk and basic biomechanics so they're not afraid of applying lots of force in shitty positions
    Not going to risk a shoulder/back injury for some dumb party trick if there's an easier way

    It's not the physique. It's how it's carried. There's something about weightlifters where they don't look quite comfortable in their own skin. It's so subtle that you normally don't notice unless you're looking for it. But in day to day activities, you can tell that people who do labor and routinely work their body in more than just scripted movements are more comfortable in how they wield it. Almost like it's more of a confidence thing.

    lel. Just hit your forearms 4-5 times a week at the end of your work out. There, that's your "hard labor" muscles.

    No. I prefer being able to walk and not have a fricked back in my 40s. I'll stick to an easy job + gym.

    Hard labor doesn't create muscles, it just creates strength.
    Sure, some 40 year old construction worker can lift heavy things. But he also has a beer gut and zero muscle definition.

    yeah, i'm doing it right now and my forearms are strong but i quit going to the gym b/c 40hrs of work is enough. i mainly focus on a clean diet + proper nutrition. hopefully next by year with Blessings from Allah i won't be doing manual labor.

    I do both. I do a bit of lifting (minimally), but also unload 25-30kg boxes/bags/objects/rolls from trucks. I also, do the loading, the organizing and stacking onto shelfs.
    The most volume I've moved was around 10 tons in 1 day, from warehouse to truck, from truck to warehouse, but usually around 2-3, and on certain days around 8.
    5'9, 100 kg.
    I feel like my muscles should be much larger, am am quite weak all things considered.
    >Deadlift: 120 kg max
    >Bench: 50 kg
    >OHP: 65 kg
    Those are the only lifts I do.

      Oh yeah, I do a bit more than that for context.
      >squat: 60 kg
      >I can carry 75 kg on my back, side
      >I can carry 50 kg on my head
      >I can walk with 50 kg for like 10 meters,
      >I can carry 40-50 kgs objects in my arms around as much
      I think I could be very good at weightlifting, but life didn'tgo that direction.

      This is who is telling you manual labor is cool. Christ, I cannot wait to get out of this industry.

    I’m going to farmers walk the entire Camino de Santiago (400 miles) with 60 lb kettlebells. I’d like to see some construction cuck mog me after that

    If you deadlift you have construction worker strength and you can have more of it via the addition of plates while they do the same workload forever.

    You can do both if you have good cardio and endurance.
    I started a job as a tire fitter/mover and had to quit after 8 days (terrible work environment contributed to this, you did not get any breathers other than a 30 min unpaid break). It was incredibly hard on the body overall, but it'd be easier if I weren't fat and out of shape. Several of the people there were lifters too and told me about injuries they sustained from work which impacted their lifting and not the other way around.

    hard labor mode is dad strength, 25 year old dudes dont have it no matter how tough they think their job is
    it comes from decades of working with handtools, not five years of working with power tools

    I've done manual labor all my life, it doesn't really make you stronger or build muscle, just exhausts you and fricks your body up. Most people I've worked with are fat/skinny fat with back and knee problems.

    That's moronic. I've done manual labor for about 7 years, all sorts. When I was a mover, improving my front squat (MOSTLY the form) helped me pick couches and fridges up insanely. When I was passing plates on a huge tray (would often weight something like 20kg, I had to travel stairs and tight spaces with it overhead) my OHP helped, again MOSTLY form and stability work, not strength. I could go on. Bodybuilding, especially brosplits and anything curlbros do, is fricking useless for sure. Actually lifting, performing a variety of compound lifts with intensive attention to form and technique, has fricking saved my body from a premature retirement like so many others and improved my ability to work.

    I had a summer job building a stone fence with a m8 when we were 17. He got really big that summer and started lifting weights from then on and I got even skinnier and figured it was hopeless, but later I realized it was because I went home to a bowl of noodles with bread or tomato soup from a powder, whilst he had an upper middle class home with nutritious family dinners

    Disproportional development is a fact but I think non-pros don't have to worry about it.
