>Go work in construction after years of lifting>Stronger and more endurant than everyone here>Feet feels swollen and burning after long time because of carrying stuff around, wearing heavy armored boots and having high bodyweight>Feel very tired because of it despite zero fatigue in muscles or strain on cardiovascular systemAny recommendations? It's been like this for months already, so it's not like it's an adaptation issue. I will acquire heavy/RX drugs if needed.
>>77207561Cardio
>>77207593I already can do 70 30kg kettlebell swings in 1 set. It's not related to cardio.
>>77207612And those help with your being on your feet all day how? Do some cardio
>>77207561>Any recommendations?Try to eat and sleep well, maybe lose some bulk. Other than that there is nothing you can do. A full day if hard labour will make everyone tired no matter how fit they are.
>>77207615>And those help with your being on your feet all day how? In terms of cardiovascular endurance - yes, definitely. But endurance is not the problem as no amount of cardio will fix it.
>>77207561It's not you anon I worked a blue collar type of job similar to yours and I also had to wear steel boots and my feet were swollen and hurting every day that I had to work a shift and I'm on the leaner side.
>>77207561Farmers are rarely buff, but can lift and carry really heavy shit. Strength isn't necessarily mass, and added mass can work against you for functional tasks.
>>77207561Sounds a bit like vasculatory problems. Tried compression socks?
>>77207620Must be a skill issue then. I’m walking around with heavy steel toed boots all day and feet are fine even when I go for a run during weekdays
>>77207561>HEAVY hydration and electrolytes, 4 litres or so>sleep>long zone 2 cardio(30+ min)makes the difference for me, though im not in a job as tough as constructiondont roid for a shit job anon, though it would help
Yeah, it's just like lifting. If you want to lift 100lbs easier - then lift 150.Same here - if you want your job to be less fatiguing, you need even more endurance than you currently have.So yeah, endurance and cardio training would help a lot. Also shit-tons of electrolytes and food and water all day - that right there you should notice improvement.
>>77207561>Go work in construction after years of liftingand youre still a tranime fag? Stop spreading this propaganda
>>77207799What are you rambling about, schizo?
>>77207561get a better job
>>772075611. Go to Red Wing and tell them you are wiling to spend top dollar for the best boots with the best cushioning support for your feet and pay top dollar.2. Stretch every morning and every night you wake up and go to bed.3. You need to eat and extra 250-500 calories on top of what you already do. That's the way she goes, bud.4. Take supplements that give energy. Vitamin B6 and B12, C and D, Zinc. GET YOUR FUCKING ELECTROLYTES. Potassium is a must. I recommend Iodine as well. 5. Don't be the jobsite nigger. Go at a pace you want and don't kill yourself over it.6. Get out of construction. The trades are a fucking meme and destroy your body no matter what. It's no different than playing a sport where no matter how hard you train, eventually at some point your body cannot keep up. Tell me how many oldheads you see that don't look like they hate their lives?7. Also, >>77207799 Either you're the jobsite autist or some /r9k/ loser LARPing.
>>77207873>The trades are a fucking meme and destroy your body no matter what. It's no different than playing a sport where no matter how hard you train, eventually at some point your body cannot keep up.why the same doesn't apply to exercise tho
>>77207624>Tried compression socks?No, will look into it. >>77207873>Either you're the jobsite autist or some /r9k/ loser LARPing.Not larping, here's my boots.
>>77207885Because 1 or 2 hours of exercise that you control is not the same as working 6 days a week, 12 hours a day swinging a hammer, drilling through wood and stone, lifting heavy shit constantly, and constantly on your feet with little to no rest. Same way being Tom Brady at 40 in the NFL went down hard every tackle. Again, at some point the hard, constant physicality of it all takes its toll. Also, how fucking retarded is this board now to not be able to put a concept like this together? Fuck this new gen of autists and fuck these brown people.
I suggest getting new shoes>>77207593>>77207615fucking retard>>77207659His feet hurt. Can't you people read?
>>77207895Those look like absolute shit. No wonder youare constantly exhausted. Please tell me you are at least wearing safety glasses.
Construction is actually a lot of walking standing and contorting your body around 1000 times a day, and the heavy lifting >100lb is usually performed by machines. Buy some good insoles for your boots
>>77207897Retard. After seeing his horrible footwear he absolutely needs to get some real fucking boots, but cardio still helps with your feet not hurting after a day of working. Get back to giving yourself carpal tunnel fag
>>77207561electrolytesseriously, get some salt
>>77207561get boots that fit dumbass
>>77207873>6. Get out of construction. The trades are a fucking meme and destroy your body no matter what. It's no different than playing a sport where no matter how hard you train, eventually at some point your body cannot keep up. Tell me how many oldheads you see that don't look like they hate their lives?Is this true? I was thinking of going that route. Wtf else is there for someone with no connections or useful skills
>>77207997Estimator, manager, literally any computer skills whatsoever will make you a GAWD in a construction industry. Try and work your way into something at your local company or fudge your resume a bit for other places. Then again, they need to be smaller companies to do so. Or pray hard enough someone actually shoots the orange nigger and Thiel's VP puppet so stocks can actually go up again.
>>77207561There's nothing to do except get used to it. Jobs like this dont have an equivalent, after 3-6 months your body will adjust to it all. High or low temperatures, standing all day, wearing heavy clothes etc etc your body builds up to it the same way you get stronger when you lift consistently. Just make sure to eat and get your 8 hours of sleep to properly recover and youll get used to it. You'll even have a different type of doms, which is what youre getting now
Cardio is the answer. Cope retards
>>77207799It's a gay larp. Notice how he says he wears "heavy armored boots." Notice how he didn't say what he's actually doing?
>>77207895Those aren't boots. And they clearly don't have any protective toe or "heavy armor."
>>77207895i didn't have the same problem as you but i had bunions. for me getting extremely wide toebox boots solved my foot pain problems. i wear "WIDE LOAD" brand and would highly recommend but i'm not sure if they're available in america.i used to work landscaping but now work in a warehouse. warehousing is a much easier job physically but it's a bit soul draining and corporate. i like working outside.>>77207799you think construction workers are well adjusted normal people? yeah some of them are but a lot are the weirdos and outcasts that couldn't get other easier jobs or couldn't get higher education. anime is mainstream now anyway.
>>77208027>Vote Kamala!k disregarding you
>>77208086He is IN good cardio shape you fucking moron. Seriously what is wrong with you people?
>>77208227Where did I say that, you dumb fucking DYEL double nigger?
>>77207561blue collar jobs like construction and factory work are extremely unhealthy sadistic jobs.Standing a lot and/or wearing heavy boots and walking all day on concrete has been proven to be as unhealthy as being a chain smoker.It literally turns you into a cripple, ive seen the guys that stick with that work and they are all hunched over unhealthy and barely holding onto life.Assholes that run these businesses prefer young dumb jocks because they last longer and can destroy their bodies without the dumbasses realising.Theres an almost infinite line of crippled blue collar workers leaving a GP near me near an industrial area with destroyed feet, legs and hands.Its actually against health and safety in some countries to force people to stand and not allow them to sit and rest when they arent doing anything, therefore illegal, But it doesn't seem to matter because the sadistic boomer culture insists everyone must stand for 8 hrs.Its utter bullshit i will never do blue collar work ever again
>>77208529>Standing a lot and/or wearing heavy boots and walking all day on concrete has been proven to be as unhealthy as being a chain smoker.Lol. Since this is absolute bs i chose not to read further
>>77208552yeah well you are a fat retard. Both prolonged sitting and standing are as bad as each otherhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/bryanrobinson/2025/02/01/prolonged-standing-could-be-bad-for-your-health-new-study-shows/Also provably against health and safetyhttps://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/safety-topic/hazards/sitting-and-standing>Topic / Sitting and standing Sitting for long periods of time is common in Australian workplaces. Too much sitting or standing is bad for your health. Prolonged standing can increase risk of fatigue and illness. Workers should not stay in a seated, standing or static posture for long periodshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complications_of_prolonged_standing
>>77208219>>77208221>Those aren't boots. And they clearly don't have any protective toe or "heavy armor."You're retarded. It's boots given to construction workers.
>>77208562Interesting, thank you for info.
I've been a grocery store meat cutter for 20 years and in my experience it is both very bad and very good for you at the same time depending on how you do it. I lifted heavy shit wrong for a very long time before I started working out and my back will always be messed up and require lots of maintenance but this one is on me, honestly. I have terrible posture from working hunched over for hours at a time. Unless you're on the same table with other people a lot you can stand wide and have better habits so this one is probably on me, too. These are really the only two big ugly things from being on my feet all day for years. I'm way healthier than everyone else I know my age that sits down every thirty minutes. Blue collar work can in fact kill your ass but not if you are smart about it.
>>77208583only a fucking retard would wear those on a job site. I guess youre a fucking retard. Lemme guess you're a no skilled laborer cunt.
>>77208583>>77208638This is why you should leave the trades OP, always some bitter fuck trying to ruin everyone's day and being prideful over being the most productive slave
>>77207561Lose weight
>>77207561>endurant
>>77208562>Both prolonged sitting and standing are as bad as each otherImagine crying that your construction job had you sitting or standing too much. Sign holder? LolConstruction workers move around a lot, dont just stand or sit. Literally you stnd or sit morr in an office. Not sure if retarded or bait.
>>77208961You don't work a trade, do you?
>>77208979I do concrete and landscaping currently. What trade do you do?
>>77208583do you have to buy that kind of protective gear out of your own pocket? seems insane since the salary is already low to begin with. must be some fucked up sad existence being a construction worker. sacrificing your own body and life to build houses just so some rich wfh retard can live in it. unemployment would unironically be better in that situation.
>>77207561Composite toe boots, calf raises on stairs with a focus on the stretch, roll feet on lacrosse ball, stretch your legs and hips regularly. When those are tight you will feel more tired. You’re probably still getting conditioned. I know you said you can do a big set of swings, but if you have time for work like jogging, burpees or rucking then try it out. Trains your body to absorb impact which is tiring. Tends to help me a bit. It never really gets too easy btw.
>>77207561>Works CONSTRUCTION Glad I'm a lazy nigger. Enjoy your spinal pain, sore hip, knees and feet. Booze is mandatory medicine in blue collar jobst. Former labor monkey
>>77209129Competent people become msnagement and tell people like you to do the heavy lifting.
>>77207561Vyvanse. (If you don't mind sacrificing your long term health)
>>77207561Congratulations Anon, you discovered the uncomfortable truth - that being a physical labor wagie isn't good for you, because it doesn't involve structured activity combined with sufficent rest in-between optimized for gains and health, it involves activity optimized for getting the job done and making the most money for your employer, with your minimum wage health being barely a consideration, if at all, which also leaves you too tired for actual training.Well paid, white collar work is unironically the best for overall fitness. I leave the office rested, in peak condition for optimal training regimen. I don't need any overtime, I have all the time and money to cook healthy meals. Maybe I sneak in some pull ups at the outdoor gym on the job when out of office, maybe i ride a bike to whatever meeting i have, or as a part of my commute.Get out of construction asap.
>>77207561Do more cardio and eat less junk if you can. More fruits and grains in your diet. And try not to push yourself as hard just because you can. An overlooked secret to building and maintaining strength is long periods of rest.
>>77209011>picI mean this makes perfect sense to anyone who isn't completely oblivious to basic supply and demand. Appealing jobs that people actually like for whatever reason will have more supply because people want to do them for reasons other than just the money, therefore they can be paid less and people will still do it.People that fucking suck and you hate them will have lower supply and only be done for sufficently high compensation by people who are willing to accept the suck for enough money.Good example is pediatricians earning like shit compared to other med specs, because the type of guy with a vocation to helps kids isn't all that rare and will absolutely still do it for peanuts just for the sake of doing it.
