Dying...

[Westside]

Half of my brain cells are probably dead by the time I finish this message, so please excuse the inconsistency that may appear in the future. So I started working today at some meat plant, the job consists of constantly carrying 60lbs of weight. The pay was not bad, but this is what happened today. I when to work, started carrying the packages back and forth and thought it was an easy job… I was dead wrong. After about 4 hours I can not feel my arms anymore. By the time it was 8 hours, my arms didn’t belong to me. I went home after 8 hours, and started to feel my arms again. Feeling relived and everything, but that was very stupid of me. Right after I got back to my house, I started to feel extreme muscular pain in my arms, it didn’t stop. I was in unimaginable pain… I had some pain killers left, I took about 5 of them and after 30mins the pain slowly went away. Anyone know what might happen tomorrow if I go work again? Anyone suggest a better way than pain killers?

quit your job?...

I feel sorry for you mate

 

[nintendofreak]

Quit, your health always comes first!!

Or ask for a desk job? Forklift drivings easier on the arms.

How about stretching out b4 working. Just hang in there for a week or so, you'll prolly get stronger and then used to the stress.

 

[Opera Ghost]

Well, depending on your age, and just the way of constant movement. If you're always used to carrying heavy objects like that constantly, then it's a problem you shouldn't put aside.


Take a day off and see a physio/chiro/doctor.

What kaoken said and you have the added bonus of getting ripped without gym fees.

start going to the gym?

first time I went to the gym, my arm's and legs were really sore and dead a few hours later and stayed that way for a few days

happens to everyone when they put a lot more stress on their muscles than they normally do

I just realized it was you (avatar change). Your life sucks, doesnt it? Is there a rule against telling tempers to just end it?

 

[BoneMonkey]

pussy lol

keep doing it in about a week you will be ripped

Hey, I considered it many times, but on TV I see people on Oprah with no arms and legs and ending up more successful than I am, that guy on Oprah that wrote "No excuses". I will try for a week, since I'm young (19) I guess I should give it a go. I am somewhat muscular believe it or not, however, the co-workers looks like Arnold on Steroids.

It's not going to kill you (probably). You're just not used to that much work. Just maybe take it a bit easier for a little while and work your way up. They can't expect you to work at the same pace as your Arnold co-workers. Eventually your body will adjust and it won't be as painful.

That's my advice even though if I was in your position I would probably just quit.

 

[thegame07]

your body is just not used to the work. After a few weeks your body will be able to cope .

 

[cheesyPOOF5]

Yeah, if you can hang in there, you'll eventually get used to it.

 

[squeaks]

Couple it with milk and egg. You'll see result in days! =P oops, this isn't the work out forum!

 

[Danieluz]

Just use telekenisis ffs...

edit: now, seriously tomorrow probably it will be even tougher, but surely it will be easier with time.. I guess

Good luck

Wasn´t harder the army training?

Well army was hard core, but the hardest thing was the 2 and a half hour ruck march. The ruck sack was heavy to carry (100lb), however, the thing is that only lasted 2 and a half hours. As I said, I though this job was rather cool at the first two hours. The army made me muscular, but not that much. I can only do 40 push ups, while my uncle, who is a labourer can not only do 80 pushups, he can also do 25 one handed.

It will hurt like a bitch the first couple weeks, then it should go away. Stick with it and you will be rewarded like the Yellow haired guy off of the ball show.
