Let's say that I'm gonna work 8-12 hour days in the forest 5-6 days a week. How should I structure my weightlifting sessions? I was thinking 3 sessions a week, a PPL routine. What do you think?
You should spend time on studying and get a real jobBeing a blue collar retard will fuck your body for life
>>76946323What a faggot you are.
>>76946317Let's not say that because you aren't going to.
>>76946317>Let's say that I'm gonna work 8-12 hour days in the forest 5-6 days a weekOk anon, I assume you currently do NOT have this job? I have vast experience in forestry and mitigation work, willing to offer advice
>>76946827It's not a job as in a position. I've been offered to work this old guys forest. He has 3k acres. I can do what I want. Gonna rent his sawmill. I've got everything I need to fell and transport the logs too. Will start to work there soon. Plan to build my own products and sell.
Bump
>>76946827750acre, my bad
>>76946317PPL once a week is a bit low frequency imo. I’d recommend either full body or push/pull (squat on push day, hinge on pull day) if you’re going 3x week. Also would recommend doing your workouts before work if possible. Ive done a physical job with long hours like that before and I skipped workouts more if I left them until after work. Since you’ll be very active, sleep is extra important so get that locked in too. Sounds like a cool job though hope it’s fun.
>>76946317Always likedPP x (x) LP x (x) PL x (x)for when I'm having a hard time recovering from work and still trying to commit to lifting. Gives you wiggle room with recovery days and still makes good use of frequency.Push strength, Pull hypertrophy:-Barbell bench.-Cable facepull, db curl, db upright row.-Cable crossover row.-Weighted ab wheel.Legs strength, Push hypertrophy-Front squat.-Seated goodmorning.-Cable front raise, cable tricep pushdowns, cable chest flyes.-Db overhead press.Pull strength, Legs endurance.-Weighted pullup.-Barbell calf raise.-Weighted vest Cossack squat.-Landmine circuit (boxer squats, core rotations, lunge variations, oblique volume for ~10 minutes of continuous work.
>>76946323Would rather not sit inside a pod all day being a typing monkey
>>76946323>You should stop having necessary trade skills and study African lesbian literature.Fag.>>76947070This...is solid. Why does nobody ever do PP LP PL?
>>76947118Whoops, meant to tag>>76947096
>>76946317Anon, that kind of work is a workout in itself. You will be fine.
>>76947096This seems solid. Ty>>76947157Yeah but gotta get bigger too.
>>76946317Upper lower split alternating 2 versions of each day.Upper day 1 is heavy vertical pull and light vertical push. Lower day 1 is heavy barbell squat and lots of core isolation volume. Upper day 2 is heavy horizontal push and light horizontal pull. Lower day 2 is about mobility and endurance. Lunge variations, cardio, whatever. So you can have a rest day between each workout and still hit everything twice every 8 days.
>>76947040>>76947050Ok gotcha.I have done massive contract work like this. felling, limbing, bucking, transport, chipping, etc. rocky mountain region. Currently still doing wildfire mitigation and climbing/powerline/hazardous. The work you are describing is already incredibly taxing. the only benefit you've got, that I didn't have, is the option to work at your own pace.I got INSANELY strong and lean doing large scale contract mitigation. Unless you only do the hard stuff for less than 3hrs/day, don't expect to pack on weight. Loggers are lean motherfuckers. I was surprised when I got on my first forestry job: expected a bunch of brawny lumberjacks; instead all were lean and mean. You burn more calories than you can replace; comes with the job. But you will get insane hand strength, conditioning to work like a machine for hours on end, a very strong core, back and shoulders.My routine for surviving the trade is DAILY yoga and mobility exercise every morning before work. You have got to keep healthy hands, forearms, shoulders, spine, hips and knees. 30 minutes of PT/yoga/mobility every morning will completely bulletproof you from the aches and pains that end careers. If you end up working forestry 6+ hours/day, 5 days a week, you will need very little supplementary training. All I do during heavy season/contract work is pullups, push-ups/handstands, and squat/mobility. You will burn out your CNS very quickly trying to do more... Unless you can guarantee 12 hours sleep a night.Also that pic is so gay: fuckin battery powered saw and a spotless uniform LMAO. You'll never see this in the field
>>76946317Don’t fucking do it. I worked marine based jobs, was a cop, and worked rigs. I grew a brain and finally used my degree.
>>76946317Seems smart to me. You could also do 3 full body days but recovery might be a bitch. Or 2 + whatever you want. You have a few options
>>76947264Thanks for the advice. Yeah it's gonna be hard work. But I'm looking forward. I live north in Scandinavia so winter is hitting now. Gonna be out there all day in -10 to -25C working away. Gotchu with that mobility and yoga practise. Will implement. Gonna have to eat a fuck ton then, since I'm looking to build some muscle too. That's where my benefit of being able to work at my own pace comes in, I can eat a lot.
>>76947269Lmao. It's a great opportunity since I get access to almost free raw materials. Grow a brain
>>76946317You quit working out and focus on stretching
>>76947285You're welcome brother. That work will make you a man, and be immeasurably rewarding. Take care of yourself and you will be in better shape than any dork in a gym. 46 years old and I still move like a cat, get fresh air and natural exercise everyday.Wish you the best on your journey...!
Imagine getting a stupid job like working in nature and not getting the coolest most important job in the world, being a software engineer.
>>76947338Thanks bro. You too!
>>76946317>>76947264 Listen to this dude op. Ive been working physical labor like this for the last 7 years. Do not try to lift while doing this work, the work is enough of a work out. You need to stay limber to protect your body, all lifting will do is burn your muscles out way faster. Sleep, nutrition and stretching is your focus now. God speed bro working outside is where its at.
>>76947402I've gotta disagree. I've been a forester for 6 years now, and I lift daily. It is correct that you'll burn a shitload of calories and build up strength at the job, but it won't out weigh a desk jockey who does solid lifting for 1.5/2 hours a day. I do agree with the stretching and yoga angle though. All my older coworkers and retirees in the field bitch and moan about joint pain and low mobility. No matter the weight of the log, you always gotta use proper form. Cheers.
