[QUOTE="22.34life, post: 746309, member: 23722"] I think it depends on what you do at ups ,if your a small sorter than you might not be very strong or in good cardio condition.I work on irregs and i can tell you after two years of lifting and stacking packages that way anywhere from 70-150 lbs for five hours i am damb strong and in pretty good cardio condition.If you brought someone off the streets to irregs as a newhire i dont think they would last one day,the stuff is to heavy and the pace to fast and the heat in texas is a killer.but as far as calling it exercise i think what they mean is it does not target a specific muscle group but the whole body.So when i say im strong i mean i can lift heavy things that are also awkward but i have no idea how much i could bench press or squat.When people i know dont understand how hard this job can be i describe it like this "when you move from one house to another you load a moving truck and unload it at your own pace with as many breaks as you want and at the end of that day you are dog tired and worn out right,now imagine doing 4 of those trucks in 5 hours with one 10 min break and moving at a break neck pace and you have an idea of what its like.
