– 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

Being at the gym even for an hour probably really just equates to like 10 minutes of actual lifting. For a lot at least. Compare that to hours & hours of physical labor.

Not to mention you’re doing movements that are safer. Many people forget about form when working because they want to get done. Let’s say you have to deliver a lot of boxes. You’re probably going to bend over incorrectly just because you want to hurry up as where the gym you’re going to lift correctly/breath and take your time.
