[QUOTE="Rawrzxor, post: 1445027, member: 51342"] It's the same as working out, basically. Frankly, I was upset that I didn't build much muscle after a year of working at UPS as a package handler. I thought doing that much work would build at least a bit of muscle, but I hardly got any. Turns out, it's basically just cardio after your muscles get used to it, which is fairly quickly. Doing irregs will build some muscle. Well, yeah, if I don't break my back. Technically, we're supposed to have two people lift anything heavier than 70 pounds. Are you saying that everyone at your hub duel lifts things heavier than 70? The irreg guys do ALL of the irregs by themselves at my hub, doesn't matter if they're 100 pounds or 150 pounds. The only reason we double lift is if something is just too big to really get a hold of. I don't care if I get injured. All that means to me is time off work. As long as they pay for it, which they will after I explain the situation to whatever authority--and how proper lifting wasn't being taught or enforced where irregs were concerned. [/QUOTE]
