Bricklaying and Fitness Have Fundamental Differences; Bricklaying Does Not Equal Fitness!
There are quite a few enthusiastic debaters who think muscle gain is just about being full and tired, having the strength to do so is better than going to bricklaying and making money! After all, making money and fitness are both beneficial!
Can construction sites and fitness training truly be substituted for each other? One belongs to high-intensity physical labor, while the other is a regular training of muscle groups to develop muscle groups to exhaustion.
Whether in group discussions, fitness forums, or software feedback comments, some people often mention muscle gain (narrowly defined as muscle gain) which is a laborious activity, sometimes it's better to go to a construction site to carry bricks. The construction site not only can exercise the body but also obtain certain income, which is ‘a double victory’, but the reality is really so?
Tianya worked as a temporary worker ten years ago, after the college entrance examination, he carried empty bricks to clear the hillside. From morning to evening, he carried bricks, and he always fell asleep when he got home. His diet was not very refined, he just ate when he was full. This is very different from muscle gain training, although training will also be tired, but the degree of fatigue is completely different from hard labor, and muscle gain training does not target the same muscle groups each training day, and the diet of muscle gain trainers is very careful, while construction workers don’t have this condition!
Physical labor often involves repetitive actions that are constantly performed, such as carrying, lifting, and pushing. This is a combination of high-intensity repeated actions, often requiring long-term bending and stooping. Long-term practice like this can increase joint pressure, make soft tissues too tense and exhausted, and induce the straightening of the spine, increasing the pressure on the intervertebral discs. Therefore, physical labor cannot be equated with fitness; physical labor is primarily for completing a job, not a scientific training method.
Regarding diet, I know that the diet of construction workers doesn’t meet the needs of muscle gain, and it’s even a poor diet. The scientific meal plan for muscle gain is low-fat, high-protein, moderate carbohydrates, appropriate minerals, vitamins and fiber, which are all things that the construction workers’ diet cannot meet. The muscle fullness, lines and muscle gain of fitness trainers in a gym or systematic training cannot compare to construction workers!
In fact, the purpose of going to a construction site is to earn money, not to exercise and earn money. Muscle gain and fitness are a scientific way of training, with planned training, rest and training combined, it does not affect the next day's work and learning, and it is very different from physical labor and these conditions and training methods.
In conclusion, the difference between physical laborers and muscle gain training is huge. Tianya believes that muscle gain training is more about how people enjoy life in a positive lifestyle (fitness requires reasonable training, healthy diet and adequate sleep, which can make your body stronger and your muscles fuller). Construction workers are for earning a living. It's fundamentally different. Those who say that carrying bricks equals fitness are probably ‘sour’ fitness enthusiasts!Frankly, one is to support a family and earn a living, and the other is to enjoy life. It would never be the same thing. Blind arguments eventually lead to ---- ‘brains over brawn’.
