– why is working a manual labor job (construction, manufacturing, etc) destructive to your body but going to the gym every day isn’t?

I’m an electrician and a lot of the older guys at my job have so many knee and back issues but I always see older people who went to the gym every day look and feel great

To all this on-point information, I’ll add one more ingredient for body self destruction.

Repeated vibration destroys your nerves, coordination and your ability to heal. Long term use of electric tools like nail guns, jack hammers, and any vibrating hand tool is incredibly damaging. Nerves are the slowest thing for your body to repair, if it even can.

It doesn’t even take years. One day of holding a jackhammer wrong, without breaks, is enough to make your hand and arm tingle and prickle for life. Even a Dremel held too long will do it.
