why is it recommended you wait 2-3 days before working out muscles again but people in jobs like movers lift heavy things all day multiple days in a row?
In: Biology
Most labor jobs don’t have people lifting over 100lbs. For most things over 50 lbs you will either use a dolly or a team lift. The lifting is repeated reps of relatively low weight. Before your body gets used to the workload of a manual labor job it would probably be a good idea to take rest days, but that might just not be practical.
Weightlifting is targeted lifts of higher weight. That trains the muscles to rebuild themselves stronger than before, but they need time to grow the new muscle fibers.
People in jobs like that are also destroying their back and joints, something you don’t want to replicate.
