does anyone have any thoughts on heavy labor and working out on the same day.
today was BACK DAY but i had to dig a 20' trench 12" deep, it took about 2 hours. i decided not to work out for fear of over training, any thoughts.
thanx bros.

im interested because I work summer construction and some days it kicks my a$$
i work construction everyday
never let it interfer with my work out... i just rest a bit before working out, not sleep but i take it easy for at least an hour... i never over train, i guess i have no fear of it but i dont ever count my work towards my workout
there are those days fellas when the suns beating on you all day... and ya just cant work out... i make sure to get 4 days a week at the gym
i dont kno if u would over train i guess it depends on how much labor ur doing. i dont usualy have physical labor all day but after working 10-11 hours on my feet all day im worn out and it effects my workout. ill have to sleep for a few hours then go to the gym. i always do squats deads on my days off.
Increase your calories.
True, you're not working the muscles the same way at all. It's a totally different kind of stimuli to respective muscle groups, but your overall glycogen stores will be affected.Quote:

rest and calories and you will be fine..
I have worked construction 80 plus hours/wk. already and still trained 6 days a week with no problems in gains. Make sure you are eating enough and sleeping as much as you can.
Same here, i was pulling 80 hours a week doing construction and still grew, all i did was work/eat/sleep/train, nothing else. I was taking in huge amounts of cals though to gain.
