You can make progress doing hard manual labor and barbell training. I throw trash and push heavy ass dumpsters to the truck at 49 years old and train 3 days a week.
I've been in the building trade in England for 30 odd year, I'm 50 now. I've been lifting heavy ass shit for nearly every day of that. And I still train heavy 4 times a week with a couple of bike rides thrown in for good measure. This snow flake generation think there going to break if they do anything slightly more than the recommendation. It breaks my hart to see how weak of society we are building today.
My problem is going from my off season of landscaping to full blown 12 hour days. I get used to pretty much only eating, sleeping, and lifting for about four months and then when the mowing season starts, all my progress in the gym slows down pretty fast. I'm having a really hard time getting used to the massively increased workload during the day. Sleep is not an issue, but getting in enough calories while I'm working outside all day with zero appetite is proving to be difficult and costly. I also feel like no matter how much more I eat, it's not enough to recover and make the same progress as I was before.
Man I worked a very manual job at a metal fabrication place and thought I was in great shape! Then I started working out and actually got pretty sore. Turns out, when working out you use muscles you didn't even know you had. lol
The worst part is doing the same thing for years, and THEN getting really into lifting for the first time. You don't realize how fucked up you are until you can't make use of all those compensation movements you've developed over time to avoid discomfort at work that you didn't even notice you did... The entire right side of my body is all out of whack from skateboarding mainly on one side for years and then lugging around a 13lb trimmer all day long for years and years on the same side.
Commercial electrician, training powerlifting 4x a week ala conjugate and the only times balancing work and training workload is when I need to pull wire, do groundwork, or be on ladders all day.
I work on windows and doors installations and some days are hard as fuck if you have to carry heavy ass doors on high floors but I find 3 days a week full body routine best for my recovery and run progress.
@@asthecrowflies1201 Yes. I worked as a caretaker for 5 months and I couldn't wait for the grass to grow because mowing was the soft part of the job. You do know that the mowers today are motorized? You only steer them.
I find that plural nouns respond much better to volume, while singular nouns tend to do better with intensity, so I've been doing they and them for 3x10 and he, she and it for 5x1 and have seen tremendous progress.
And they think America is behind because it doesn't use the metric system, when in fact the Imperial system is what got us into space. The only reason metric was introduced there was because the Nazi scientists they brought over to "help" were using it. THAT is a fact the teachers WON'T teach American students and everyone should know about.
@@bobbys1308 My American "intellect" told you why, which your (whatever) "intellect" overlooked. My God, it's a simple sentence. Learn to English you buffoon.
I’m in construction as well and yes your numbers and recovery will suffer . At 40 I’ve managed to maintain some decent numbers for a natural lifter . I’ve scheduled my bigger workout days on the weekends when I’m off work and some of my easier days I’ll squeeze in after work but it’s almost impossible after a certain point to hit prs on squats and dead’s after heaving lumber all day or Sheetrock up and down stairs
@@LTPottenger surprisingly I just hit my best deadlift ever a few weeks ago and bench is higher than it’s been in years , the squats hv suffered the most due to wear and tear on the knee
I think too many times people just generically assume everyone goes way downhill after 40 or something when often it depends on many things. I competed in the ADFPA back in the late 80s and early 90s when I was in my 20s. I am now 54, work pretty hard labor in the south Florida sun like 50-60 hours a week at the post office and am making really good progress. My lifts were in the top 20 back then and I believe my base strength is close to what it was then
@@mr.andmrs.armstrong8359 that’s inspiring. I want to be still making progress in my 50s as well . Ive never hit any crazy numbers but I got my first 585 conventional deadlift recently. It only took me 15 years to get there lol .
HEY RIP!! HUGE FAN OF THE PODCAST MY WIFE AND I LISTEN ANYTIME WE'RE ON A ROADTRIP, AND IT ALWAYS SERVES AS VERY GOOD INFORMATION AND COMEDY. I'M WONDERING IF YOU ARE OPEN TO INSTRUMENTAL SUBMMISSIONS FOR THE PODCAST INTRO OR ARE YOU A MAN OF SPECIFIC MUSICAL TASTE? WOULD BE HONORED TO HAVE MY BEATS PLAYED ON YOUR SHOW!
So your advanced program is for the unemployed only? Will the stimulus to fatigue ratio be affected by the amount of stimulus money they receive? I'm confused
In your example, the sex of the person is not known. But in in letter, the sex was known. It was a man. And still the writer used "they" later on. This is incorrect.
Rip, I had a private education. "Them", "they", and "their" have been used as gender-unspecific, singular pronouns since for-fucking-ever. I was taught this in the '90s. Shakespeare used them in this way. You don't know what you're talking about.
Absolutely. It's not about catering to anything. It's just used when referring to an unknown person where gender is not specified. Ironically, it looks like he skipped his own english classes lol
Manual labor is horrible for strength training, if you're in even remotely good shape it will just tire you out from doing the same light repetitive movements repeatedly.
The singular "they" is hundreds of years old. It's useful for describing someone whose gender is unknown. Just because some weirdos in the 1800s didn't like it doesn't make it wrong.
Yep. Used for hundred of years, by major authors (Shakespeare, Jane Austin). It can be very useful, just like the passive voice, which is often criticized. For example: "A novice who gets proper rest can maintain their linear progressions for nine months."
Hundreds of years old? B.S. I'm familiar with a lot of writing going back hundreds of years. I've never seen it. It's a new and stupid innovation to cater to insane people who think "misgendering" someone is a moral crime.
In English, they can be used as a singular pro-noun in certain circumstances. :) Im English and also a teacher. Sorry Rip you got this one wrong, although it may be different in American English I don't know.
My grammar has improved significantly now that I do English lessons 3 sets of 5 at maximum level

The secrets of “old man” strength
My lifts fluctuate massively depending on the work day and the weather. Sure it's possible, but far from optimal.
3:20 is when he answers the question.
Thanks
Thank you
Haha thanks
Thanks. For a moment I thought he wouldn't answer.
Literally came to the comments for this answer, thank you
I’m lifting and moving light to heavy stock all day. 10-12 hour shifts. Lifting helps my work. And helps prevent injuries on the job. 👍
This felt like more of a therapy session for Ripp than an advice video. Were here for you big man❤️
You mean "we're" here for you? You want to get whipped by one of Rip's teachers?
2 minutes into the video and Rip is still talking about grammar

Rip, making people stronger and shitting on questions since 1923.
It is said that Rip helped to invent the Internet, just so that he could shit on questions at a greater and more widespread rate. LOL

The repetitive nature of hard manual labor can lead to over use injuries, sucks but learning to keep track of your personal adaptation is hard.

The title should mention that the entirety of the video is about grammar.
I know lots of tradesman that lift.
I was working window fitting at the time and I got out of shape, I got back to the gym and squated with poor form and herniated a disc
Starting Grammar
Would have loved to have had a teacher like Rip, running out of red pen for every essay he would correct 🤣
I work on windows and doors installations and some days are hard as fuck if you have to carry heavy ass doors on high floors but I find 3 days a week full body routine best for my recovery and run progress.
So, should I wait until I'm acclimated to the job? I'm still sore every day and still getting stronger just from the work.
Manual labor just makes you tired from doing it all day, that's it.
'Knees over toes' guy has completely destroyed the pink porker's DOGMA!
Mowing lawns is not hard manual labor. Try lifting heavy shit all day long and then go lift heavy stuff in the gym as well after work.
Have you tried mowing yards all day?
@@asthecrowflies1201 Yes. I worked as a caretaker for 5 months and I couldn't wait for the grass to grow because mowing was the soft part of the job. You do know that the mowers today are motorized? You only steer them.
@@johanhansson4574 yea, that's not mowing yards all day, my guy...
Mowing lawns all day then lifting easy , lifting heavy shit all day (unloading trucks) then lifting not easy
singular they predates singular you

16 years of math classes and college grads still cant use a tape measure. They cant write because they spell with emojis.

Answer starts at 3:10
Lol thanks
I clean houses at 45 yrs old 8 hrs a day, sometimes 6 days a week. Don't be a candy ass. Just prioritize recovery and you'll be fine.
Rip just gets older and pinker. Don’t tell him they put ‘s even after names that end with an s now.
My Grammar is excellent.
She's squatting heavy twice a week!
Don't ask someone about manual labour which haven't done manual labour about how it is and what you can do
"Moving lawns" isn't fucking manual labour
Rip sounds really upset. I guess this is an issue that really concerns them

Corporal punishment is not enough for these types.
The person in this video is weird. They have very pink lobster hands.
Is Rip being a hater here just like the comments from the haters that he likes to read. 3 mins in and all he can talk about is grammar and spanking.

Your keyboard is too loud! 😆 Rips an old man so he probably needs the volume, no pun intended!
Good stuff

You don't guess, that not everybody watching this had learned english as a first language?
English is hard.

"My friend likes ice cream"
"What kind do they like?"
Come on, they can be and has always allowed to referring to a singular entity.
In your example, the sex of the person is not known.

I just came by for the abusive tone and rant, not any lifting information.
wait till he hears about gender pronouns
Transgenderism has made things iffy about the pronouns...
My pronouns are deadlift/squat/bench.
