[QUOTE="RockinRobin, post: 1231759, member: 50986"] I wish it was that easy. Especially power-loading when you have 135 boxes of facing bricks weighing 55 lbs. You can't just pop them on the floor, you have to stack them. And the range of motion and variance in objects and weight is not static. E-Regs at the end of your trailer load can be challenging. 150 lb earth mover tires, 210 lb snow plows, boat anchors weighing 90 lbs each and so irregular they are almost impossible to get a grip on. These items obviously aren't fed to you on the belts, you have to get them on the HUB floor and load them onto the platforms and then into the trailers. But you are correct, you are not going to build bulk while loading. For that, you need high reps or high weight and localized target training for the muscles you are trying to build. LEAN muscle mass can be built and maintained by any good exercise. 4 hours of loading or unloading 5 days a week should do that. It sure does for me, and is the only reason I do it. I've got a great full time job. I needed a forced workout to keep me in shape. Loading sure does. For me, it's an AWESOME forced workout. I'm typically drenched in sweat by the end of my shift. Otherwise, I'd have lazy nights when I would just lay on the couch after my career job was over for the day. When I took the job, I was in what I would have considered "Great" shape, yet, after a week of loading 4 to 4 1/2 hours a night, I was sore. I knew then the job was for me! :) But I'm an anomaly. So many quit after a day or two or a week of loading. It's not easy. To the point of this thread. Many are so jacked-up at the end of the shift they can't sleep at night. [/QUOTE]
