You guys are forgetting people that do hard labor jobs. My friends that do concrete 6-7 days a week are jacked. I worked at a tile warehouse 6 days a week sometimes 7 ,pulling 25-75lb boxes out of crates and stacking them. I was sore for a month. Everyone said don’t worry it’ll go away after a month or two. About six months later I was snatching the boxes out of the crates like nothing and my forearms and biceps were huge.

not gonna lie, i felt numb for months. like i was just surviving, not really living. then someone dropped Testosterone Rewired by David Brooks in a yt comment and i gave it a shot. bro… this book gave me my edge back. not by yelling at me to hustle, but by showing me how to fix my foundation. life hits different now.

A Physical Therapist told me decades ago to take a week off, every 5-6 weeks. I find the rest week is more beneficial mentally than physically.

I don't think Thomas was ready for Doc Mike's sense of humor ... which is off the charts most of the time! LMAO
