I worked for two moving companies when younger, and it's still not the
_extreme_ "bulging" pressure you experience when doing the final few
reps in a set, assuming you're lifting heavy weight with lower reps.
Heavy work tends to focus the pressure over more of the body vs. a
specific muscle group. There are degrees of manual labor. Some of it
could certainly be hard on the eyes too.
Moving isn't that bad. You have dolly's and things like that to use.
Plus a lot of the time is spent resting while driving back and forth.
Try roofing a house or something. Carrying shingles up a ladder will
really give you a good workout.
Agreed. But even hod carrying is mostly a legs thing, as long as you can
stabilize your back. It's much different than lying on a bench, feeling
like you may be crushed if you can't hoist the bar (neck veins popping,
etc.)
When I said weightlifting isn't natural, I meant that a specific, targeted
attack on muscle groups is not the normal "labor" experience. Many muscle
groups are assisting and the type of exhaustion is just different.
Oh, I see what the problem is. You think "lifting weights" is benching.
How cute.
