Why aren't you doing manual labor?

Not if your form is good and you stretch properly. A lot of people, unsurprisingly, don’t actually know how to run. They just move their legs fast.

>Is running really that bad for your knees?
yes, man was not build for running

I do manual labor. Really putting my degree to good use.

lmao whats the correct "form" for running

Have you actually looked at people who do manual labor and not relied on your romanticized image cobbled together from movies, your imagination, outliers and literal propaganda?

Manual laborers are fat fuckers. They may be fairly strong but it's usually in a very unbalanced and usually minimally aesthetic way.

The actual job of manual labor is not designed to get you strong. Usually it involves hours of sitting on your ass followed by brief moments of moving awkward shit in ways that is often dangerous and at least awkward. Or it involves doing the same motion repeated ad nauseum.

You'll generally eat like shit as well since you usually have a limited break and are often distant from decent food.

In the end manual laborers get fucked up in one way or another. They throw out their back or get cut up when XYZ goes wrong. Then they get hooked on opioids, can't work, their wives divorce them, they become alcoholics etc. And if they don't suffer traumatic injury, the chronic degeneration they suffer from constant wear will get them.

Pay for manual labor can be decent relative to office jobs, but your expected useful lifespan doing manual labor really makes it seem like a wash.

If you want to get strong and aesthetic, first principles would never have you arrive at manual labor. Why wouldn't you literally train in the most effective, safest way possible with a job that allows you to provide your body with the best possible nutrients and time to recover?

Whatever form causes the least frequent injuries.

This so goddamn fucking much.

I am.

I'm not. I am willing to be money I am generally more fit than you

Because I want to be able to keep on lifting when I'm 50.

I worked as a construction hand last summer, got a tan and also I've never been so fit in my life. Downsides were that on top of carrying shit for 8 and a half hours and cycling to and from work left me absolutely dead tired, I wouldn't possibly have any energy for gym or going on dates with my gf at the time, we only had sex whenever it wasn't too hot in the apartment.
I worked a desk job over the winter, lost all my gains and now back to the gym after a 6 year hiatus.

because i am a step above this

i used to be a mechanical engineer self employed. i got only money for each minute i was working.

now i have 5 employees and i dont have to be there everyday physically

and i can just lift and do funny shit i like, like responding to your thread

Because I am an electrical engineer, the patrician engineering discipline.

apex cope
mechanical engineering is based as fuck, alpha and manly dudes

electrical engineering are mostly dudes too faggy for mechanical engineering but too retarded for physics or applied math/comp sci

Company related?

dubs speak true

Tip of foot labds first. Base and heel never touch the ground

but that's how everyone runs how the f do you run wrong

>debt
lmao not everyone is american they pay to students in normal countries

>mechanical
>electrical
Chemical engineer reporting, mechanical engineers are just babby chems. I work as a software engineer for the $$$ tho

tel me what you do
wow your degree paid off pal, code monkey job or actually software ENGINEERING?

I get paid for being mentally strong. On my lengthy lunch breaks I go to the gym for pleasure.

Oh and I get paid probably 1000x more than this guy.....

Nice fanny pack though

Because i'm not a manual labour monkey from a bad family? What kind of question is this?

"Why don't you walk on hot charcoal bro?"

it would only be worth doing it part time, if you have to do it for 40+ hours a week your body won't last and you will age prematurely

I’m construction slave the gains are mostly on the hands my hands are muscular from drilling and hammering shit all day and carrying wood and I stay skinny cuz of all the cardio and when I get home 2 tired to eat my entire diet is literally fast food here’s my bod

>but that's how everyone runs
have you seen people run

A mechanic can develop some nice arms.

How did you retire at 14?

>t. brainlet who can’t understand things he can’t see and struggled in baby circuits

Lmao, you never worked manual labor. I have and now im about to get an office job.

Manual laborers while stronger than your average office drone are still weak as fuck

> 30 years
> really fucking fast

You know how professionals with specifically designed weights and practiced form still get back injuries? Yeah. Not sure why I keep seeing threads like this

t. cs autist by a different name

I don’t know what the difference between code monkey and engineering is, but I’m 23 and get paid 160k a year.

I fucking hate you!!!!
Fuck I break my fucking back building shit you sit at a comfy desk And make more in a year than I make in 4 Fuck you Fuck your fuck you!!!

Not only that, working out involves moving your body in a control and precise manner to facilitate muscle growth in specific areas, even those which would normally be undeveloped. Manual labor is just slinging your body around to get the job done, often times just fucking it up. Its why a lot of people i've seen who've worked labor jobs are usually just skinny with some musculature but with horrible postures and knees.

Are you retarded, 90% of the population slams their fucking heels into ground before using their toes (which is the only useful part in running) to propel themselves of the ground.

Airborne, jumping out of airplanes and hitting the ground at 20 miles an hour.

Because I'd rather get paid a lot to use my brain.

Unironically just learn to code dude, freeCodeCamp or the Odin Project, and LeetCode every day. Pick up cracking the coding interview, read that cover to cover. I’m entirely self taught.

Don't, just don't. Working out for an hour or two a day is different from working manual labor 8-12hrs a day 5-6 days a week. Stay in school, get a degree in something that will actually be useful and just workout for an hour a day. You don't want a job that sends you home dead tired everyday working with idiots who make slinging dirt and heavy material around even harder. I hope this helps one of you younger guys out. I'm 34 and have been doing manual labor for years. It's not worth it.
