My ass finally got a job doing concrete prep. Lots of shoveling gravel and transporting gravel in a wheelbarrow. How do I cope with the body pain and potentially enhance my performance quickly? I have a likely 10+ hour shift come Monday.
Should I come into work already one or two shots into some whiskey? I can stomach a whole bottle of the cheapest shit I can find in one night just fine. Everyone else on the site is a mild-to-heavy marijuana user, but my tolerance to weed is so low that smoking even a small amount of it will basically put me out of the game. Not liquor though. I can still function drunk.
Eat a lot, drink lots of water, get some good sleep, your body will adapt pretty quickly
well im a frickin b***h so it'll take a while and I don't wanna let anyone down with my b***h body giving in slightly. Obviously drinking lots of fricking water is on the itinerary though.
Now everyone else is getting a bit fricked on the job, and they're doing just fine. Keep in mind this is a line of work where you can literally piss right where you're working.
Yeah, those aren't the guys you want to learn from. They're old and fricked up and their personal lives are fricked up and they're still doing a young man's job, didn't move up at all over their decades of work because they get piss-themselves drunk or else they get the shakes so bad they can't hold a hammer, and constantly living in a cycle of getting fired or quitting entry level jobs for their whole career.
Stay away from using drugs and alcohol to cope with your aches and pains. Stretch, I cannot stress enough how important stretching is, do a yoga routine when you wake up and when you get home and before you go to bed. Drink plenty of water and make sure to get in electrolytes on really hot days. Pack a healthy and refreshing lunch, I usually have a turkey, lettuce, tomato sandwich and a pickle, and in the winter I keep a thermos full of soup, usually beef stew or chili. Don't fall into the trap of spending tons of money at the gas station on the goyest of slops, you'll feel like shit and you'll just get fatter and bloated.
Stay active in your free time, go for walks, but always get your eight hours of sleep. Don't blow your Friday check over the weekend and call out on Monday because you're hungover and too broke to gas up your truck and go to work.
For me, if the pains are really bad, I'll take 325mg aspirin, or one pill, that's as much medicine as I require. What keeps the pain from getting there is living well and making regular visits to the massage therapist, physical therapist, and chiropractor, all things you can easily afford if you're not blowing your paycheck on cocaine and liquor and hookers every Friday.
If you're in your 20s then I know you won't listen to me, because these are the mistakes we all made as young men, but once you hit your thirties you should remember what I said.
best post
do stretches and eat fruit too, ya fruity op
you can try protein supplements
I prefer shakes tbh
used to drink two scoops a day
helped me adapt to lugging a 28' extension ladder around
Drinking alcohol at work is for losers, and will cause you to become injured. Either you’ll get sloppy and do something stupid, or being drunk will cause you to work too hard and strain yourself. Just drink water you dumb Black person. Did you think everyone is doing this?
i did my first no-sleep shift. I did it entirely sober. I feel like God himself has inspired me
Did it once after binging on booze and coke. It fricking sucked.
I am baffled as to how other guys manage that lifestyle.
this, im loading trucks and i felt like shit for over a month until i started drinking less beer, more water, and getting more sleep. also an ibuprofen when it gets too bad
/thread
Take care of your body. Hydrate with WATER. Cut out sugar and alcohol. Eat fruits. Remember to control your breathing. Enjoy the occasional humor! Babe watch any opportunity you get
Eat some steak and liver and eggs. Fish and turmeric also good.
If you're really hard up try 200mg Ibuprofen. Don't exceed 600 in 8 hours.
Ibuprofen treats inflammation which is mostly caused by our shitty food pyramid diet. It's the source of al.pst all the pain you'll have a healthy young man.
>200mg Ibuprofen. Don't exceed 600 in 8 hours
lmao ignore this moron. 200mg is a single pill and it does basically nothing. Take 2-4 every 8 hours or instead take naproxen sodium (aka "Aleve").
If that doesn't work try to find a non-moronic doctor who will prescribe oxycontin. Or don't take anything at all and be a helpless cripple.
>prescribe oxycontin
Would advise against that. It will make all your pain go away for awhile, but you’re going to strain yourself more if you can’t feel the crippling back pain. Also you’re going to have to double the dose every few weeks for it to keep working. Also you will never want to go to work without it because it makes work so much less boring and a 10hr day without oxy will feel like a 40 hour day with worse back pain than you ever had before you started.
Ibuprofen is straight. But if you just started the job, man up and sleep good and you won’t be hurting as bad by the third week. Then you will start hurting again by the third year.
"manning up" only goes so far when you need to get a job done. The idea of walking into work like that straight-edge is for morons who don't have time-sensitive work.
Nah dude OP isn’t frickin 58 and rugged. Sounds like he is 20 and has spent the last 14 years in front of a computer. Whenever you take a break from working out and doing physical stuff, it’s a week or two to get back in the swing of things. Like that pain after the first time lifting weignts if you had a broken bone and couldn’t touch them for 2 months.
If OP was 58 and needed to make it to work tomorrow with a fricked up disc because he needed to pay for his daughter’s college apartment where she gets slammed by Tyrone, then I might recommend taking half a vicodin to make it to lunch and then like 1200mg of ibuprofen to get thru the rest of the day.
You do realize that
is OP? (me)
Anyways yeah, I'm an 18 year old, best described as a "twink", whose only got broad shoulders. Little musculature, physical endurance, etc. I am weak as shit. Now this job is great and all, and I don't want to lose it, but I realize that doing it sober is probably not the wisest move.
Nah, don’t start getting comfortable with trying to drown the pain of a manual labor job at 18. You will be stuck there forever. Quit being a pussy and by the second and third weekend, you won’t even really be sore, especially at 18 years old.
The 50 year old dudes sneaking drinks and pills on the job are doing it partly because of the physical pain of shoveling gravel at 50, but a big reason they’re doing it is so they don’t hate themselves as much for shoveling gravel at age 50. Your body will forgive you real quickly at 18 though.
You are a fricking idiot OP, I'm in my 40s and been laboring longer than you've been alive. If you think you need to drink liquor to go to your job you're going to wash out fast. Just go get a job at dollar general and stock shelves you pussy. You're not even old enough to have aches and pains Jesus fricking christ.
Of course we realize it's you. You're the sole moron fixated on the idea that getting some form of wasted is an unavoidable necessity. The sole purpose of this thread was validation, but you're not getting any other than from other plainly moronic addicts.
i like cute twinks :3
Also if you can’t “man up” and shovel gravel with the old fricks at 18 even if you’re tired, you should go work at Starbucks with the other non-binary furries. That might be the honest answer. Don’t lose a hand at 18 being drunk on a jobsite, that’s going to be some hard to collect worker’s comp.
>double the dose every few weeks
That's only if you're trying to use it for "fun" (aka like a moron). Realistically, the pain relief at the minimum dose will remain effective for years as long as the condition causing the pain doesn't worsen AND you never take more than the prescribed dose/intervals.
It's very interesting that before the internet was a thing where any slightly curious moron could discover which drugs could be abused to get high, prescription drug abuse and "addiction" was much less common.
Well the problem with opioids is that the therapeutic dose is quite fun, and above the therapeutic dose is even more fun. So if you have any bit of an addictive tendency or your just naive, it can bite you easily. Also before you even think you’re getting addicted, you’re already hooked. You won’t have the cold sweats and stuff associated with being a junkie, but those receptors are already waiting for them and your back pain is a little worse than before you started taking them and your job sucks more than it did 3 months ago before you got the prescription and now you have an excuse to up the dose.
Also you definitely build tolerance even at a therapeutic dose if you’re taking it daily. They would never prescribe 80mg OCs if that weren’t true. That’s an overdose for somebody who doesn’t take opioids, but that’s maintenance for somebody who has been taking prescribed doses for chronic pain for years.
If it’s not every day, that’s a different story. A couple days a month for a flare up is fine. But if you manage a steady dose daily, it’s because you have gotten used to the peaks and valleys and you don’t remember what a natural sober peak and valley was like.
>the therapeutic dose is quite fun
That's not a universal experience - I know many people (myself included) who dislike the sleepy/dizzy side effects. I'm mystified by those who would describe it as "euphoric".
>dude just take pain killers and go to work
and then the morons wonder why manual labor is "ruining their body"
Read that post again.
I said I would advise against it, one of the reasons being that opiates work so well at masking pain that it’s super easy to frick yourself bad and not notice it until way later.
Also honestly for Opie’s sake…
He’s 18 and his first week at a real job. If he starts drinking and popping pills to make it through the work day, he’s already at like Step 7 of the 12 Steps to becoming a full blown junkie alcoholic who needs detox.
I'm honestly considering suicide at 20, so I'm fine ruining myself before then.
t. op
Ehh, try to make it a couple more years. 18-22 sort of sucks when you’re a dude. Get into your mid-late 20s, try to make a little money and not be a complete neckbeard and you will have some good years of low-20s pussy. But at 21-22, girls your age are going for dudes a few years older with a house and shit and the girls you could get are still in high school. Then by the time you’re getting to 30, you can find yourself a good 23-25 year old to work on making a wife.
Yeah but seriously, the first time I ever realized how good a day at work was while eating opioids, it was really frickin tempting to go full blown junkie.
Nah man, I'm a gay that enjoys taking it up the ass. I've accidentally gotten my ass banned off of grindr after telling somebody off for being okay with dogfricking.
Outed a few dogfrickers in the local furry community, found out the funny way I'm actually banned from the local furry convention, at 18, for outing literal dogfrickers and making a stink about it.
I'll likely never find any sort of love in this life, and material wealth was never appealing to me. Venus is gone and Pluto is in absentia - Mars and Dionysus are all that's left.
Yup, get off PrepHole, stay away from furries, don’t be a gaymer eating cheetohs all day, and you could probably get some pussy by 25 if you shave your neckbeard.
>Yup, get off PrepHole, stay away from furries, don’t be a gaymer eating cheetohs all day, and you could probably get some pussy by 25 if you shave your neckbeard.
I can't even grow a fricking beard. I called myself a "twink" beforehand. Do you want a fricking gif of me shaking my goddamn hips wearing a mini skirt with a fricking buttplug with a tail attached shoved up my ass for you to understand that like, I don't like pussy?
Shit, I first fricked a girl at the ripe age of 14. I know I don't like pussy.
Yup, stay off PrepHole. And stop drinking from plastic bottles.
>Do you want a fricking gif of me shaking my goddamn hips wearing a mini skirt with a fricking buttplug with a tail attached shoved up my ass for you
yes.
eh frick it, your loss
lmaaao. didn't think you would, kek. good boy!
you're probably not the only gay on the construction site, by the way. there are plenty of us who don't act like obvious hand-flappy homosexuals. for every fragile little twink who is suffering to do his job, there's five fat ugly mean gays with seniority who see right through you. i guarantee one of the people you work with has already daydreamed about shoving you naked into the pile of gravel and fricking you with your shovel handle.
keep it up, you'll get some great muscles going. keep up with your diet and you'll have a rockin body well into your 40s. those furries will be sad they banned you from shit.
your low weed tolerance is a blessing. get one of the disposable vape carts and experiment with it before you use it for work. tiny puffs will last a while. just enough will put you into a neutral space, time will flow past while you work at a rate that will shock you. don't go in drunk. imo it makes time slow and makes everything drag on. don't overdo it on painkillers or you'll shatter your body without knowing it and suddenly you have to be on pills 24/7 or you feel like you're dying.
good luck cutie.
>lmaaao. didn't think you would, kek. good boy!
:3333333333333
Anyways yeah, I would traditionally let my foreman/boss frick the shit out of me... literally... but he's a divorce with kids. Probably not too into me.
don't discount it. lot of older gay tradies got beards, either to pass when it was more of a death sentence, or because they're just bi. don't be pushy because that's gross gay shit, but if you're openly a little queer like you seem to be, someone will start bullying you (sexually) eventually. if you're decent at the work, it won't be the end of you. good luck lmao
Well nobody seems to be bullying me, despite walking in and being a weak shaven c**t. Keep in mind we're leafs.
Anyways yeah, look, I've slept with my fair share of 40 year old gay tradies. A machinist, a locksmith, etc.
>one half these guys are homophobic
>other half want to plow me
trades in a nutshell
god i need one of you guys to plow me fricking hard, like, screaming like a prostitute hard, and sit on my face right after you get home from work, all musky n stuffff :3
you unironically would have a better life if you just found some sugar daddy to be a prostitute for
I would. I wish I had some guy that'd let me live with him and in return I'd make him dinner and clean the house and suck him off and wake up next to him :333
probably. mom had four miscarriages before me. working theory is that, plus the fricktons of marijuana my mom smoked during pregnancy with me, created a storm of hormones in the womb that gave me the physical potential of a man, but the psychology of a female (or at least akin to a female, at the very least sexually) to provide for the four hypothetical uncles/aunts that could have been as a sort of monkey-times malthusian effort.
>provide for the four hypothetical uncles/aunts that could have been as a sort of monkey-times malthusian effort.
kek
but I genuinely feel bad for you mate
considering your mother, I don't think you had a really lavish upbringing
Not Op here
I had the lavish upbringing and
>10 years later
I ended up neet, depressed, pennyless, addicted to stuff and i struggle to find a job.
Even if someone had hard times he may have a better future than all of us...
any advise ?
Save money since you're 3 years old, don't party and be the son of at least someone with 800'000 in his bank account.
This is it.
>be the son of at least someone with 800'000 in his bank account.
over. V_V
Yep, same
Father left me 1k in his testament lol
I bought groceries
same.
all I got was my dad's last social security check after he was killed by the covid vax.
A small amount of meth is amazing for getting work done and the vast, vast majority of users never become addicts. That's for the sort of weak b***h who becomes a drunk.
So get on grindr and find a sugar daddy. gaygays will frick ANYTHING. They're omnivorous. Steer into the skid while you're still young and at least live well for a while before the inevitable.
i got fricking banned from grindr for getting into an argument with someone for being ok with dogfrickers
>meth
you are disgusting
Bear your cross, don't revel in your degeneration
were you a homosexual from birth ?
Nvm, you probably need all of the alcohol and opioids in the world to cope with how disappointed your family is in you. Have at it.
>Tfw no cute 18 year old femboy apprentice to teach the ways of a trade and also to frick and cuddle
Definitely heed my advice young man, no need to wreck your tight little body, you'll thank me later.
absolute state
Damn, great job! I wish I looked like you again. All the trades have done to me is make be bigger, tear up my skin, and given me a bit of a belly.
I still get rammed, but I want to feel cute again
I never got the femboy thing when I would just slam that ass anyways without the skirt and socks getup. I'm not highly discerning.
>Outed a few dogfrickers in the local furry community, found out the funny way I'm actually banned from the local furry convention, at 18, for outing literal dogfrickers and making a stink about it.
All furries are dogfrickers until proven otherwise.
>the eternal leaf
You're like one of those dumb b***hes in highschool that bragged about her cramps how tough.she was by showing how she 'needed' to take a fistful of ibuprofen because the pain was like, so bad.
And you're addicted to oxy.
Checks out.
Listen to this guy if you want to be addicted to oxycontin. If you want to lead a normal life, keep your pain killer intake to tge absolute minimum.
>And you're addicted to oxy.
lmao I don't even take any painkillers you moron. I've had it maybe a half dozen times in the last 10-15 years when I had severe pain, but never had any desire to keep taking it.
The point is if you're in debilitating pain you should use something that relieves it.
Tylenol basically does nothing at all.
Aspirin and Motrin work but you have to take a lot if the pain is bad and that gets hard on your stomach and kidneys.
Oxy works - 10mg has made even the worst post-surgical pain go away for me. I hear about morons taking 30mg or more and I'm like why tf would you do that? I mean I get it if they're cancer patients or whatever whose pain is much worse than healing surgical wounds, but for "fun"? It's like someone drinking a handle of vodka a day.
>I hear about morons taking 30mg or more and I'm like why tf would you do that?
there's like 20% of people that most opiates barely work on
one time I was younger and stupider and trying to get high I took 80mg of oxy and couldn't actually tell if it was doing anything. never had any opiates before that except maybe some shit from the dentist when I was little and never bothered with them afterwards
>normal life as a concrete worker
>not addicted to oxycontin
kek
>this one weird trick to cause organ failure your doctors don’t want you to know!
>weird trick your doctors don’t want you to know
>literally the printed directions on every bottle of ibuprofen
You know I used to wonder why they put warnings on cigarettes, like who the frick wouldn’t know?
I now no longer wonder…
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7347500/
I was pointing out the doses (2-4 pills every 8hr) aren't some arcane I made up, but are literally printed on the bottle.
And yes, all OTC painkillers are toxic to liver and kidneys. There's even a special name for it - Analgesic Nephropathy. The safest painkillers are ironically opiates, with the only real dangers arising when they are abused.
>The safest painkillers are ironically opiates, with the only real dangers arising when they are abused.
You’re a fricking moron. I love how all of the sudden you’re an expert on this shit yet you seemed to know nothing about it when I mentioned organ failure. I can google too. If you were so aware of it maybe you should have added that caveat to
where you tell people this is a long term solution to their problem.
There is nothing “safe” about a drug that is only unsafe when abused, when it has high incidences of abuse. I’m not arguing they shouldn’t ever be available but you’re recommending them knowing they’re often abused. And you’re recommending them to people in the trades. Do you have any idea how many people have drug dependencies in the trades?! I’ve done hard labor all my life and most (not all) people suffer through work because they eat garbage, dont drink water, and sit on their ass when not at work. They don’t exercise. They don’t do any self care. They will pop pills though and have people like you as a cheerleader.
Go play in traffic.
nice blogpost homosexual
didn't read one word of it
We both know you read the whole damn thing lol. Probably twice.
If you need oxycontin to cope from the pain of work without previous injuries or whatnot you are clearly doing something wrong.
I just like to party.
>which is mostly caused by our shitty food pyramid diet
Or by damage caused by hard labour it's there to help repair but surely not in OPs case.
Some day the food pyramid frickers will have their names dragged through the town square properly and shit on by a horse.
>inflammation
Woman word that refers to nothing
Nta but are you moronic? Entire illnesses are predicated on inflammation. Ever heard of arthritis you fricktard?
Arthritis isn't caused by "inflammation" you moron. It's caused by wear and tear on the joints or by autoimmune disease. Yes I'm aware that injuries swell up, but there's no such thing as chronic inflammation caused by the diet. There's no such thing as "treating inflammation." This is just the latest fake disease for women which they use to explain their psychosomatic condition.
Asthma
>cause unknown
>anti-inflammatory drugs are a known trigger though
LOL
Arthritis is a general term. I've had gout since I was in my early 20s, and later keep getting punted to a new specialist to figure out what keeps fricking up with me (latest was four latin names for dust mite shit, now they wanna stick a camera down my throat).
I'm actually inclined to believe it's a psychosomatic condition, but that doesn't stop it from happening.
Ever be afraid to drink water because it causes post-nasal drip that makes you feel like you have an oyster in the back of your throat and want to throw up? But throwing up doesn't do anything except for agitate it more?
Ever be afraid to eat food because of the off chance that you would have the symptoms of a somatic anxiety attack for about an hour and a half that whiskey and chamomile tea barely touches then feel exhausted for the rest of the day?
Sorry, this is way off topic. From an outsider perspective I'm a failed specimen.
do you eat fruit on the regular?
i had a colleague bricklayer who had body pain all over, went to doctor, turned out he had some sort of vitamin deficiency. the prescription was 2 pieces of fruit (180 to 275 grams) of fruit per day, and his health insurance covered it, having a fruit box sent to him every week. he hasn't complained since.
i'll definitely eat more fruit, keep bringing cheap mystery meat sticks from the dollar store, fricktons more water, and a bit of liquor.
The liquor will make you dehydrated and you'll be sorer the next day.
Just fricken harden up for god's sake, pussies like you on the jobsite are so annoying. Work slowly but steadily and just get shit done.
>the liquor will make you dehydrated
So then I should just drink more water.
>harden up for god's sake
IN DUE TIME MAN IN DUE TIME
>and you'll be sorer the next day.
I know a good family remedy for this
> mystery meat sticks
> dollar store
At this rate an unknown disease is gonna take you out before the degradation of your body does
In all seriousness though, nutrition and good form are the key. Work on your posture, proper weight distribution so you aren’t putting it all in your back, and eat fruits/vegetables. Also don’t get fricked up on the job - even if your coworkers do it’ll be nice down the line to not require alcohol before you show up for work every morning
Doctors hate this one hack, Man cured from all ailments by eating this one fruit, you won't believe what it is.
Pantfruit?
Some call it dicknballs.
the pain will subside when you stop being a b***h. first run is always a b***h. your body will learn how to knock out the work without fricking you up. Meanwhile explore finding non Black personwork. good luck, young moron.
>explore finding non Black personwork
Manual Labor is a white man's job. As long as he moves up from concrete to framing to siding to roofing to general construction etc.
Sitting in an office and moving numbers around all day is the work of a weak pathetic b***h. When the grid goes down and excel doesn't work anymore you people will be the ones begging for scraps from the tradesmen who built themselves shelters and farms.
ask them why they don't use a bob cat
Hydration and correct technique will get you almost anywhere. Nutrition is good too. Clean socks and NSAIDs are okay, but the latter not every day.
I'd take a short-acting muscle relaxant over opiates any day for a tweaked something. Usually the doctors are over-zealous and tell you to take the whole pill, when you can just have a quarter and take it easy.
Beer and oxy are great, but that's not sustainable in any appreciable sense. Can't say I haven't done it though, but I'd rather save it for my time off to have a little fun, relief, and decent quality sleep than do it on the job.
man up you little homosexual
Get into some nutrition and have good sleep hygiene. Outside of that I believe in the full range of motion trainers like Kneesovertoes guy and some others. I like to stretch full range basically everything I can. Like your straight leg toe touch but also taking this in a full circle arms straight up leaning to the sides and backward. Hanging on a bar is also good for the back. I do full arm and leg flexibility when I have the chance.
People tend to be isolated to certain positions most of the day then wonder why they get stitched up. I tend to get into trouble lifting heavy and awkward pieces. It's just not worth it for what you're getting paid to be a hero. Get help on jobs with risk. Wear protection when you're creating dust or particulate. Respect the tools that can maim you, even if you use them everyday.
Caffeine, ibuprofen, and some B vitamins.
Drink some of those pussy gatorade propel things. They're packed with vit B. When you get on a food, electrolyte, and water deficiency your brain and body work like shit. You might function below nominal so often you don't even know it. Absolutely flush yourself with fluid and eat quality foods in quantity. It might take 1 to 2 days to spin back up to where you should be functioning. My mind and mood take a fricking dive when I'm burned out on just sugar or maybe caffeine and nothing.
>stretch
>eat well
>no caffeine/alcohol

Dangerously underrated.
How old are you?
I did this shit from the age of about 15/16-21/22.
I mostly hated it and everyone was an alcoholic but it was outdoors in the sun, the money was great and it kept me fit. I screwed my wrists doing it and had a sore back constantly.
Two options are drink and only do it until you find another job or stretch stretch stretch if you spend a half hour stretching in the morning and a half-hour at night lot's of low inflammation foods you'll be good for decades. I know because the old guy's still doing it were 80% all alcoholics and the rest were fit fricks that would go to the gym, yoga and get massages.
Potassium for muscles, proteins to repair the muscles. Eat like a bodybuilder, that's what i did: bananas, meat, carbs.
Supplements are good, full trace elements set.
If the pain is too much at first you may take some anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen.
I had a similar job once and everyone just told me to get used to it asap but anti-inflammatories saved me in the first weeks.
Alcohol is the opposite:
>You're less strong
>Higher inflammation, you don't feel the pain but you destroy the muscle, it repairs itself worse and slower
>The pain-killer effect of booze is not good because it may bring you to make the wrong movements, risking a lot (for example if you don't feel the pain lifting something too heavy you don't realize if/when you're tearing your back muscles).
Like: The next day you'll feel everything.
If the problem is that you want to be high at work it's another story but i suggest you take my advice and do your own researches on it.
Basically this thread would be a PrepHole one.
You should definitely stretch before and after work
There's a reason builders in the UK eat Full English Breakfasts a bunch. Shitloads of protein, amino acids, salts and a mix of simple and complex carbs. Chances are you're trying to eat too healthy and your body doesn't have enough nutrients both to repair and to build.
If you haven't yet got the muscle, don't over exert yourself, you'll just be in extreme pain that night and your next shift and get less work done. Every time you strain with weight, you're putting tears in your muscle. The more of these that build up without having a chance to heal, the more pain there will be and the higher risk that they turn into a large tear or simply snap.
refer here:
cannabis cream with equal amounts THC and CBC.
I hurt my hand punching into a wall out of frustration and that shit just vanished the pain, Also has a nice smell and isn't addictive/harmful unless you ingest or slather it on open wounds.
The alcohol will just make your body take longer to get up to snuff. It inhibits healing and muscle growth.
You are feeling pain because you are working out, as you heal, your muscles will grow in stronger, and you will no longer have pain.
Basically: work through it like an adult and you will become stronger and the pain will stop. Seeking to use substances to hide from the pain of improvement is likely just going to make you lose your job. Save the drinking for after work, and don't overdo it if you're already sore.
It would be better actually, if you didn't do it at all, but we both know that's not happening.
If you'd like more advice on how to get through
If you'd like more advice on how to get through, I'd recommend asking PrepHole, because what you're basically asking is how to deal with the pain of working out.
OP where do you live? I think you'd be better off being my femboy pet than working a trade. Let me do the hard work.
leafland.
East or west side? If you're in BC, I'm in Washington state and dream of having a live in femboy slave to keep naked and frick when I come home from work.
berta
Look man, I'm *inevitably* going to get bigger, get my skin torn, and get a belly. I'm a guy, that's kinda what happens. My youthful looks that intersect with femininity is just something that won't last. Personally? I may be out of this job by 21, and from there? Well I may troon out, I may not, only time will tell. But until then, well, I'm still young and my slenderness will carry on. I won't be cute so much as traditionally sexy.
Warm up before, stretch after, simple as
suicide
Find better work.
Don't drink alcohol no matter how much the manly men try to convince you to
Other than that just don't quit and you'll be fine
Stretch
Don't drink alcohol
Take vitamins
Eat healthy
Loose weight you gross fricking frick
Learn how to do your job properly, trust me, nobody busts their ass for 10 hours a day, you're doing something wrong. Ask the old guys what the easy way is, if you didn't annoy them so much they would have told you this on day 1.
I'd like to update you guys that the physical pain post-work has vanished. It's just not there, I'm still able to go and do shit. Probably gonna make some good spaghetti for dinner, eat like a frickin obese italian tonight since I didn't have breakfast and had a shit lunch.
Now the only concern is keeping a consistent pace of work and not getting shit-tired midjob until the end of the day where the stops get pulled the frick out for some reason.
Make sure to retain enough energy to ride your dildo every night for a half hour like a good boy.
You really ought to be going to your gravel shoveling job locked & plugged, once your body adapts enough.
With actual difficult labor, lunch can really boost your energy. The difficult thing about it is you can't eat too much or getting back on pace feels frickin impossible. You've gotta find that line. I don't eat lunch on my day job, mechanic, but I used to help an arborist on weekends being ground crew. I tried taking that energy into that till he forced me to let him buy me lunch and that's the day I learned, oh, it doesn't always just put you to sleep.
Also, yes drinking on the job is for homogays. However you won't catch me sober after work and frick everyone who's against it. How tf else am I gonna get myself to sleep in my 3 bedroom house I bought and occupy alone? Lmao. There's times I'll go about choring around the house drinking beer fixing odds and ends and cleaning, only to find myself waking up in the morning at the bottom of my stairs in the living room using my folded underwear as a pillow. That night the last thing I remember was actually putting my stuff in the dryer lmfao. Made it to work, nobodies the wiser.
Don't cope with drugs or diet, go to the gym and build muscles that let you lift things properly without destroying your body
wake and bake everyday
Good posture, good technique, solid pair of comfy boots.
you've made like 5 threads on this shit
My homie who loves his construction job says working out and sleep does the trick when I asked him how he deals with 12-16 hour work days
The best way is to push through it. It won't take as long as you think to get used to it. Some of my more difficult outdoor labor is seasonal, and I've noticed that after I bust ass for two or three days something just clicks and my work becomes easier for my mind and body to do.
Steroids
Get yourself a hot tub. Chilling in one of these for an hour with a few beers after a hard day of work is the greatest thing ever.
adrenochrome
In addition to eating better, and using Advil till you gain some muscles, I had to start wearing knee pads. Knees went to shit those first five years, but a month of knee pads gave me new life. Figure out what hurts and find a solution. Later in life you'll probably want to do chiropractor or some yoga. I've had a couple x-rays of my back and it gets twisty and out of wack, but spine alignment will help with a lot of pain management down the road

He's just seeking confirmation about the alcoholism as others have pointed out. What an insufferable homosexual.
Hijacking this thread:
What do I do about elbow pain? From swinging a hammer and sledge a few times a week, only in my right elbow. I'm hitting the gym now but in the short term that just increases the pain

99% of tendon and joint pain can at least be mitigated with proper stretching and rest
Eat clean, hydrate with WATER, stretch, sleep adequately. Don't end up some homosexual loser who copes by drinking or abusing pain killers all day and exclusively eats gas station burritos he has stuck in his cargo pockets.
gensing tea

relaxes muscles and makes you pee out lactic acid.
Arizona ice tea will NOT hydrate you think of it like drinking seawater.
Steroids .... honestly also ibuprofen and a good pre workout
Drink water, electrolytes, and phenibut shakes. I also like to throw things at cyclists on the drive home, it helps, ymmv.
I would recommend weed for recovery after work, but not during. Being high will sap your strength.
Creatine will likely help slow your muscle fatigue and improve your muscle recovery but it will make you super thirsty.
I always snorted fentanyl
hydrate with water
stretching
good body mechanics/posture
hot showers/ hot tub/ steam room
Massage therapy from someone that knows structural body work.
weight training to strengthen the muscles that your work is not developing
Warm up properly before you do your hardest labor, use heating pads or warm water bottles to relax any parts of your body that are painful. Go to a massage therapist, a sauna, take a hot bath.
The stronger your abs, the less your lower back has to compensate.
idk but maybe ask on
they could have good advice.
also make sure you pay attention to form and posture when your lifting heavy shit
