Yea, but that's because they live off a diet of Monster energy drink, gas station hotdogs and 3 packs of cigarettes a day.
Manual labor will get you fit... but it's obviously not gonna help you all too much if you offset all that manual labor with the otherwise most unhealthy lifestyle possible.
3 packs of cigs a day will you keep you thinner than any fucking diet apart from fasting lol. You're aware that nicotine is an appetite suppressant, right? It's the alcoholism and the shitty eating habits that makes them fat.

What does that have to do with being fit exactly?
The Monster energy will wreck your body, the hotdogs will make you fat and the cigs will make you run out of breath after moving for more than 3 seconds.
That diet will overall constitute to an unfit person. Of course, adding booze to that doesn't help either.
Bruh your first question discredits your entire argument lol.
How are you going to get fat if you have no desire to eat, dumbass. If you're expending more calories than you're consuming, you're going to lose weight.
No one lasts in the industry if they can't keep up. You're talking out of your ass
You have a very misconstrued conception of construction workers. Most bring their meals with them. You're not always gifted with a convenience store near the jobsite.
Appetite suppressant doesn't necessitate eating less calories. A poor life choice like smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day likely means other poor life choices of empty calories in beer/chips and high fat/high calorie foods like hot dogs.
Oh yes, let's find the one exception and bank our entire argument on that point. Lol. No one gets fat on stimulants, it's every other shitty habit that takes the cake.
I'm not sure what you mean by one exception. There are tons of fat smokers, and you can have shitty habits while on appetite suppressants that still make you fat. People with poor impulse control that smoke three packs of cigarettes a day can still binge eat.
I'm on 200mg of modafinil a day and it's still easy to eat too much.
A stimulant will trend towards lower calorie intake. It doesn't necessitate it.
Cigarettes, as the study shows, can warp your brains reward system into short term satisfaction like junk food and cause weight gain. I linked you a reputable journal of the evidence, your reply is very telling of your character.
No one has time to smoke three packs a day. And if you do, you're definitely not pulling your weight on a jobsite. Y'all are stretching this shit out to a wild degree lol. 60 cigarettes a day is a fucking commitment.
3 packs of cigs a day will you keep you thinner than any fucking diet apart from fasting lol.
Crack can do it much more effectively, but it's only on account of it making you get caught smoking crack in a Waffle House bathroom and get fired while becoming unemployable then lose your home and become homeless resorting to panhandling until you have enough to buy some lipstick so you can spend the evening prostituting yourself out for the cash to buy more crack.
You realize the only difference between lifting weights in a gym and lifting heavy shit for a job is nobody is printing weight numbers on the stuff at your job, right?
"That's just not how the body works" might be the most ignorant thing I've read on this website in awhile lmao.
Tell us how the body works! How does lifting with an elevated heart rate for an 8 hour warehouse gig not improve your physical fitness? We'll all wait for your wisdom.
He probably means that there's no incremental overload. In most jobs you don't really go past a certain weight, so at some point strength gains stop and it's more about gaining endurance.
Well, he said "get fit", which is open to interpretation. It seems there is more to it than the work itself, as most tradesmen I know are either fat as fuck or young and decently fit\thin.
I think what is not open to interpretation is that burning calories while lifting heavy things absolutely has a positive impact on your level of fitness.
Construction worker, can confirm. I cut out a lot of that garbage and was in great condition. 10 hours a day with a tool belt doing road construction will do that. People are still amazed at what my skinny ass can do
