So you guys pay gym owner to lift dummy weight instead of getting job where you can lift and getting pay for it?

You're getting paid for lifting inconsistent weights at inconsistent intervals with random volume and poor form that are either too light to build any muscle or heavy enough to fuck your spine and joints.
tl;dr gasses out after 15 minutes
You also forgot that they are paid poorly as well and likely won't be able to work by 50
>noooooooooooooooooooo
>you're doing it wrong this way
>or else
>you're doing it wrong that way
>nooooooo you have to be an autistic gay about your gym routine like meeeee
post body, lard ass
>inconsistent weights
Shovel is consistent
>inconsistent intervals
You never had shovel in your hand
>random volume and poor form
My shoveling form is at peak values, gym fag
I bet your tool of choice is a toilet plunger and that you're Polish.
Autistic seethe
Yes, you are right, anon. You swinging a shovel like a 15th century peasant has exactly the same effect on all of the muscles in your body like a purposebuilt training schedule, that slowly builds muscle, raising resistance in a way that minimizes health risks.
you fucking manual labour morons annoy me so much. you really think carrying stuff around is the same as squatting 2plates? get the fuck off my board
You are lifting stones like 20th century BC oogabooga trying to figure out how to open coconut.
If 6ou actually worked in manual labour you would know that it mostly insurance training. In few years you would get nasty forearms probably but also gain a beer belly because you retarded coworkers will often get drunk abd call you to join them.
Yes, that's right.
I dont pay to break my body. I pay to build it up. A small price, we only get one body.
I worked construction for 4 years. The biggest guys on site are big because they go to the gym. You do not get jacked working a trade.
You can get durable and develop some good working stamina for sure... But it won't help you fill out a shirt.
This. Tons of dudes are skinny, fat, skinnyfat. The only guys who look good are the ones with good genetics or who lift
another moron who hasn't worked a full blue collar job day
all the old masons who worked at my house said the same: "it would've been nice to study and get a job that didn't wreck my body"
Das is it mane.
Never been as good shape as when i was doing concrete and landscaping 70 hour weeks. Some of those places are like joining the army. A lot of fags on here think they do a lot because they lift weight for like 2 hours a day.
>work 6 days a week, 12 hours a day
>barely make under what an office person does at a standard 9-5
>develop a coping mechanism like smoking, 4 energy drinks per day, alcoholic, dude weed, or hard drugs
>eat like shit just to have enough carbs to get you through the day
>management gives absolutely 0 fucks. fuck your tools, fuck material being on time, JUST FINISH THE DAMN JOB
>work with beaners. enough said
>"oh hey could you come in on sunday? we really need the help. aren't we a family? don't you wanna be a team player?"
Anyone over 30 will tell you to run away from the trades ASAP.
>>"oh hey could you come in on sunday? we really need the help. aren't we a family? don't you wanna be a team player?"
This is the only one that sounds implausible. I thought that was a white collar thing.
Nope. My gay company is trying to get Saturdays to have everyone and is now asking for help Sunday. Electrician as well at a "top rated" company in the city.
what are you gonna do
Not work it nor the Saturday. They can go through the process of firing me.
then what. start your own business? learn2code?
Idk. Go to another company and go back to college? Get a bunch of certs? Use my savings and travel a bit? Anything is better than trade cuckery
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Does it give you forearm gains at least?
These guys look extremely DYEL. You could look as good as them after 6 months, I'm not even kidding. I'm not going to post body because I'm a fattie but that doesn't change the fact that what I said is true.
>These guys look extremely DYE
Holy fucking cope, the mog 99.99% of IST especially the white man looks very healthy, well proportioned and aesthetic
Are you daft? White guy looks like a skelly with 10lbs of muscle. Picrel is closer to the mark.
You're mentally ill. The only difference is the other guy has an underdeveloped chest
White guy has lower bf % and same or higher muscle mass as your picrel, less developed chest but that was the norm back in the day when no one bench pressed.
That white guy looks like straight from the nazi/soviet propaganda posters, it don't get better than that.
Yeah then why don't you look like that if it's so easy you friggin dingus
Candy tastes good
Because I'm fine being fat. I have a wife and kids, I don't care to get fit so I can post half-naked pictures of myself to gays online.
Not me
>I don't care to get fit
not even a good bait shitposting wise
>extremely DYEL
Good morning, sirs, are you having the good street shitting this morning?
>Work 5 years in construction
>Get a job in pharmaceutical lab and quit after 1 year
>Start my own construction company
>Instantly on more money than managers at pharma company
>Work for myself and hire mates to come work with me
>Make my own hours
>Pick my own jobs
>Take as many holidays as I want whenever I want
OK and? You're the exception. If you're about to tell me you're not a functional alcoholic then you're better than 80% of tradies/tradie business owners.
How did you do this mr. entrepreneur? Mirin!
Just quit and started getting jobs through an app. Bought and updated tools as I needed them and met plenty of contacts through work and eventually word of mouth took over and I ditched the app. Started on a decent rate but kept pushing it up until I found a point where I was happy with winrate on quotes. Used my car for everything until I could afford a van.
Ok, what app do you use?
Did you get some kind of degree and then work construction for five years? Seems like pharm lab would require a degree.
Yea pharmaceutical science then worked on sites after uni. The degree was good the company/work was shit.
I was a heavy alcoholic/cokehead but somehow managed to quit. Lunchtime pints/lines was a bad habit, good fun but took its tole.
>I was a heavy alcoholic/cokehead but somehow managed to quit
Once again, you are the exception. Not the rule. Almost every tradies copes hard with substance abuse and even then, who's to say you're not now on weed, ciggies, energy drinks, etc. Even on my worst days in my previous careers there was never a point it felt NECESSARY to do SOMETHING to cope with the shitheads, retards planning things out, other retard trades, and general shittiness of the job. Glad you made it ok (hopefully) but most people will snap in this industry. The Eric Hayden CEO bit is spot on to a fucking T.
I was an alcoholic in the pharma job as well. I like the people in construction its pretty down to earth. If someones being a cunt I call them a cunt. There was too much one-upmanship/backstabbing/brownnosing in pharma and a lot of stupid cunts who would pretend they were smarter than you.
Tbh I struggled with alcohol but I actively chose to take coke every day because it was fun. Was doing it casually once or twice a week and just made a decision to do it every day as a months experiment and then decided I liked it and continued. No problem quitting but alcohol was and still is a struggle. Don't think its necessarily coping it's just easy to get away with and socially accepted to go for lunchtime pints or take drugs in work or come in hungover.
MyBuilder.
>Don't think its necessarily coping it's just easy to get away with and socially accepted to go for lunchtime pints or take drugs in work or come in hungover.
An this is not a good thing and you know it.
ITS OVER
I lived on my parents farm until I was 18 and I have always done physical labor. I can tell you that if you don't do some structured exercise, you will just get fucked. Your lower back alone will kill you unless you balance yourself out with weights or calisthenics.
last I checked shoveling pays like 1/5 of what I currently make, so yeah, I'd rather pay a gym owner and keep the rest
before I got a job working at a desk I use to unload trucks at Target overnights. I miss physical labor.
I had one. It killed my gains for that period of time (3 years). I was lucky to GTFO before getting permanently relocated to Snap City.
I do both
bossman got mad when i took a minute long break after every 5 shovelfuls
Yeah, because lifting the same small weight a thousand times a day won't give me the size or strength I want.
If your theory worked, I could sit on the couch, curl a soup can for hours, and I'd have arms like Rich Piana. But we both know that's bullshit, so stop being retarded and fuck off into your hole, little gay.
Going to the gym is an upper middle class hobby. I guess you're too poor to know it.
