any construction bros in here? i am starting to think a manual labor job is hurting my gains where in the beginning it was helping. Ive been stuck on these stats for so fucking long i cant even remember how far it was when i broke a pr

how does construction hold you back? Eat more
You either need to eat or sleep more then. Possibly also look at your programming.
Manual labor does help actually, it strengthens your joints and shit.

Construction bro here
Been working 60 hours a week in this awful Wisconsin humidity.
Starting to think it may be worth it to wake up an hour earlier and hit the gym at 4.

Also, how true is this? Obviously you can't become a body builder working manual labor but can you still get decently huge? I definitely eat enough.

>Gym lifts are lagging.
Do you rest, eat and recover properly?
It seems you're not eating enough and if you are eating enough, maybe eat better things.

It enhances your workload capacity so that you can do more shit. also how much is definitely enough?

construction bro here, yes sometimes manual labor actually hurts your gains but only because you use those same muscles everyday and you are probably tired so you dont give your best effort slowing progress.. but the reason you cant hit 1/2/3/4 is that you are weak.
either work out before you go to work so that you are fresh. or stop being a little bitch. What's your programming like OP, and when you say manual labor, what do you do all day? Job duties etc. Obviously it can't be that strenuous if you cant break 1/2/3/4 stats.

I guess is something about active recovery.

You are, go before or be a little bitch at work and don't exert your self.

Not OP but I am >>37742276
I eat around 4kcals a day. My breakfast has been lagging since I just moved with my girlfriend so a load of peanut butter on a bagel with milk suffices for now.
But I eat 30g worth of protein for first break and around 60g for lunch with optimal fats and carbohydrates.

Steroids
You can bodybuild and do construction
Just need to eat like a horse skip cardio and up the dose
