Hi everyone, my name is Yumi Love Fitness.
There are often some comments on the Internet: Going to the gym to exercise is a waste of money, it is better to go to the construction site to move bricks, which can earn wages and build muscles, which is much better than the gym.
Recently, I found some pictures posted on the Internet. I only saw two muscular men wearing hard hats, slippers, 2 yuan a pair of gloves, and carrying a piece of wood. The most exaggerated is: still wearing jeans.
There is also a picture of 4 muscular men, some of whom are prepared to resist cement, and one of them has a well-developed back.
Seeing this, some netizens are not calm: the brick mover is in good shape, and he can develop muscles even when he sees physical work.
If you often do strength training, you know that they are just iron lifters who come to "experience life", that is, gym trainers, not long-term workers. Really let them carry cement, a pack of 50KG, and then climb 3 floors, and imagine for themselves what the result will be.
Let's look at another picture. This big brother who moves bricks, his muscle mass is not so much, but there are still some muscle lines.
After comparison, it can be found that there is a significant difference in muscle mass between gym trainers and bricklayers.
So the question is: Why are brick movers not as good as gym trainers?
1. Why do gym trainers have big muscle circumferences?
To increase muscle mass, you need to meet the three elements of "training, diet and sleep".
gym trainers, they will choose different equipment to stimulate the target muscles, they will also use a larger weight, arrange the number of training groups, repetitions, each training time reaches 60-90 minutes, even Up to 2 hours.
For example, to train the pectoral muscles, they will choose to use a barbell to do bench presses, followed by dumbbell bench press , machine bench press, incline bench press, dumbbell fly and other actions. , It has reached the pectoral muscle pumping sense.
After training, they will drink protein powder , which can quickly replenish energy. At the same time, they will also eat some high-carb and high-protein foods in their daily diet, as well as a moderate amount of vegetables and nut.
At the same time, they also deliberately require themselves to reach 7-8 hours of sleep time, which can speed up the recovery speed and achieve the effect of muscle gain during rest.
Overall: gym trainers, they have specific training plans, diet plans and sleep schedules.
2. Why do brick movers have very little muscle mass?
Brick movers, who rely on limbs to carry and walk to complete various physical tasks, are essentially "work hard."
In the process of carrying, the arms and shoulders are stressed more, and at the same time they will consume more physical energy. With the repeated work process,The upper limbs will become stronger, and the body fat rate will be lower.
As the body gradually adapts, the same intensity of carrying movements can be tolerated, so that the muscle endurance becomes stronger.
Brick mover’s diet is more casual and will not be specially matched with the diet like the fitness crowd, as long as it can fill the stomach. Among them, there are more carbohydrate foods such as rice, steamed bread, noodles, etc. few. However, the daily workload is relatively large, so it is quickly consumed.
The sleep time of brick movers is often very short. Many people have to get up at about 5 in the morning to prepare for work. Due to the lack of nutrition in the usual diet, especially the lack of protein food, and repeated Work, so muscles are difficult to grow.
is written at the end:
Although brick movers have less muscles, their upper limbs are very strong. If people who exercise in the gym break their wrists with them, the brick movers will naturally be stronger .
If brick movers have time to do push-ups, pull-ups, squats, etc., they will be easier to complete difficult movements because their muscle endurance and physical fitness are stronger.
Gym trainers have large muscle girth. Under the premise of low body fat percentage, the overall muscles are more well-proportioned and beautiful, but there is often the imagination of insufficient physical fitness and muscle endurance, which is usually rare The result of doing aerobic endurance training.
In essence: Brick moving cannot be equated with fitness training. They just go to the gym to exercise for survival. This is a personal hobby.
