physical job labourer ... + workout results in overtraining ?
thank you i will do more workouts a week thenYour body will get used to it. As long as you eat and sleep enough to recover, you'll be good. Take care of your joints though, always take the time to stretch, wear knee pads/braces, fish oil is always a good idea.
thank you very muchYou need to eat the right foods and enough to recover. Also sleep enough
you are natural ... no sarms or steroids ... ?Like already posted your body will adjust. I do lost of jack hammering and pourig concrete no problem.
is very rear to see someone doing hodcarrier job and to gain any muscle , is allmost imposibil ... maybe on steroids , sarms, prohormones ... but natural ... no way ...I work a physical job third shift and I do OT a decent amount. You can do it. Just might need to scale back a little more frequently than someone who doesn’t. The workouts are way more intense than work, it’s the length of the work that is hard.
I have used sarms and other stuff but not a lot. I've went years without using anything other then protein and creatine. Eventually your body adapts and you can lift right after work and feel fine. Also my recovery and endurance is much greater from doing manual labor.There really isn’t an answer to this question. Depends on what job, what work out, the person himself, any supplements, how much rest you get... no definitive answer.
I am doing 1 Friday after work and another during the weekAs others have said, shouldn't be a problem. Your body will get used to it. I'd make sleep a priority, 7-8 hours if you can and workout on weekends (whatever your off days are) so you only have minimum workouts on work days.
Good job , now I am ok this way , I will see wat' s nextWhen I went back into blue collar work a little over a year ago at first I trained just Saturday and Sunday. After I was used to that then added a third day. Now I have a forth day...don’t think I’m getting past that.
It gets easier.
Nonsensegood evening .... i whant to share my last experience ... i have been worked hoist driver and lift operator a few mounths , i had a small progress in all this time , friday i have been labourer mouving heavy beens with plasterboords , rubish , unloading the beens , etc , when i did my workout after the shift about 20-30% of my strenght dissapeard , i was aible to do a fitness workout instead a bodybuilding one ... i concluded that for a natural person a intense job is stop any progres ... i think a progress is more like to happen in a holiday or a long weekend.
I didn't realize I bumped a 3 year old thread , but your right, Im a construction worker, I've been a Labor, a mason tender, done roofing and currently a pile driver.so I did it natural before enhanced and I've worked with plenty of guys who bust there ass doing manual labor, workout and have suboptimal sleep and nutrition and they still make progress.Proper Nutrition and Rest, you will be fine!! Ron Coleman made some of his best gains with a fulltime job and training harder than anyone else.
Ronnie might not be the best example. Guy is a flipping freak! But I think I heard originally from Charles Poliquin, when a lot of people think they’re overtraining, they’re really just under-recovering. Back in the day, before pro bodybuilders all had big sponsorships, they all had full time jobs.Proper Nutrition and Rest, you will be fine!!

Ya it can kind of make sense as long as we keep those expectations realistic in the sense everyone doesn't have infinite recovering potential. Everyone doesn't have infinite resources to ensure perfect recovery strategies so keeping in mind their jobs, lifestyle, and other stressors can be important in determining the right approach.Ronnie might not be the best example.
