I'm tired of seeing gym lifts compared to this job

[Box Ox]

Benching 300 at the gym is not the same as picking up heavy packages off a floor.

Yeah, you've gotta use your legs to pick a package up off the floor. That must be terrible for you!

I’m actually the opposite man. I can lift 100 lb dressers and headboards up porches all day,
but can’t seem to bench a full plate at the gym more than 4 or 5 times

I've never met the full plate I can't lift!

If you're talking 135 for 5 reps that's not bad I imagine you weigh between 160 and 180 and that puts you at about 150 one rep max which is close to your body weight which is all you really need anyway.

The strength to lift the dressers and headboards come from all around your body though, not just your chest and triceps

We get it. You’re tired of guys you meet on Grindr comparing you’re healthy lifestyle to their stupid package driver job.

There’s no way this isn’t accurate. LOL

 

[Heavy Package]

These exercises in the gym are designed to build muscle while using proper body mechanics. In a deadlift or a squat it's all controlled movement. Lifting a package at ups is anything but a designed and controlled movement that has been mastered since the 19th century

These meat head threads suck. Can we go back to bashing seasonal workers, the new contract, or management please?

A UPS wife thread would be refreshing, and welcomed.

Come on, non-employee lady lurkers. You know you wanna ask what your husbands won’t!

Benching 300 at the gym is not the same as picking up heavy packages off a floor.

I can dumbbell shoulder press 100s for 6 reps and I still ask for help on any over 70s.

Stop comparing the two please

Don't forget the occasional wifey post-speaking for the hubby.

The hardest part is combining the job's physical & mental aspects.
To go as fast as possible, not get injured and keep the car on the road for 12 to 14 hours is difficult.

Which is more work:
Picking up a 100 lb DB once ?
Or
Picking up a 50 lb DB twice?

Looks like someone skips leg day.

Which one requires an episode of greater exertion?

Don't matter, I'm using a cart either way

Smh.

Power is the rate of doing work.
Picking up the 100 lb DB requires more power than a picking up a 50 lb DB twice.
