Here is the million dollar question.
If going to the gym will make you stronger than a laborer then why is every man and gym trying to imitate the way a laborer works? But to be cleverer the experts call it functional fitness or functional strength.
No matter how you look at it, it's copying the way of the laborer.
Like martial arts that copy animal forms and techniques experts are copying the way of the laborer.
Do you think that by smacking a sledge hammer on a tire for 3 minutes 3 times a week on a big tire is the same as a man who uses a sledge hammer 10 hours a day and has for 10 years.
Do you think by pulling a weighted sled with 50 lbs on it across a field is the same as a dockman or a truck driver who pulls around a 2,000lb skid using a manual pallet jack and sometimes on inclines? Do you think by throwing tires you will develop the same strength of a man that loads and unloads trailer loads of tires every day? Do you think pushing a wheel barrow around with some weight plates will be the same as a wheel barrow full of stone or broken concrete and pushup up a ramp and dumped and repeated hundreds of times a day? How many deadlifts do you need to do to equal the work a farmer does just baling and stacking hay from sun up to sun down? How about a furniture mover who has to dead lift all day long carry, load move up and down stairs push and twist and use isometric holds while standing their trying to negotiate a tight spot the strength they build throughout their bodies are amazing.
Never happen, most laborers won't go into a gym and bench press 300lbs or squat 500lbs either.
And for the people that think laborers are beneath them just remember without the laborers you would homeless, hungry and naked you wouldn't have roads or any furniture you white collar workers would be forced to do it yourself white collar workers and blue collar workers go hand in hand we need each other.
Building strength and physical fitness doesn't require any special knowledge your body will respond to the stress that is put on it.
If you think by going to the gym 3 times a week and taking more rest than doing actual work your body will respond to what you give it.
You will get results of someone who trains 3 times a week.
The more time your muscles are put under tension the stronger they will become.
If you listen to the experts that swear you need to rest to get results have never worked as a laborer.
If you are a bodybuilder or want to look like a magazine fitness model go ahead and listen and read every article out there for the pretty boy look.
Real fitness is built over time and done as a lifestyle.
Most that want the bodybuilder look will never put in the time or have the discipline to accomplish anything close to bodybuilding.
If it came down to whom I would want having my back it would be the laborer that stays in good shape then over a guy that can bench 400lbs and jog 3 miles a day.
I'm a laborer by choice, I choose the life and it has taken good care of me and my family.
So unless someone has actually experienced this first hand almost their whole life I can care less what you have to say.
Remember without laborers you would be homeless, hungry and naked! Toughness Builds Winners
