X_Awesome_X Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I think I want to get a job doing some kind of manual labor this summer to force myself into better shape and I was wondering what kind of jobs would be good, and if you had experience in them.

Peter Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Shoveling snow got me in incredible shape really fast. Since this is a summer job, there's no snow. I'd opt for the next best thing (maybe even better), dirt. Go for some landscaping job. It'll get you in really good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unless your in some parts of canada or russia :lol: :D Landscapeing would be good. Helping with a construction team could be good too, like a team that builds houses. You don't have to realy "build" anything, just carry the supplys around (which would probaly be preaty heavy) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Tigra Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Construction, if you can get hired. Nothing like picking up 2 tons of lumber over the course of a day when I work for my dad to get ya' in shape. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X_Awesome_X Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 The problem is it's hard to get a job in construction unless you know someone. I'll probably end up having to do landscape, but I hope I can get a job plastering pools since I can do that and it would probably be better money then most jobs. trix I'm in college but thanks for the input.

frauschlager_jr Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 work on a farm, preferably throwing around 1000's of 60 pound hay bales in 95 degree heat, that will buff you up in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Tigra Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Roofer's get sun burned more than "tough". :lol: I work with a lot of roofer's when I'm working for my dad, the heaviest thing they pick up is a 40 pound thing of shingles...Wow. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_the_Viscous Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I can suggest several things, though I've no real experience in the area; someone correct me if I'm wrong. If you want to "get into shape", I would recomend just getting a long paper round. If, however, you want to make yourself stronger, as opposed to just fitter, I'd suggest either trying to find work stacking things in a warehouse, or, as others have suggested, farm work. It doesn't need to be lifting; however, there is little call, these days, for any other sort of work on a farm: machines>people for that sort of thing. Really, though, I'd suggest a paper round; just make sure it's a long one, and every week day... I imagine that most people would want a compromise between short length and high pay: a medium length one. Surely employers would jump at the chance of getting someone to do a long round. I don't know... as I say, I may well be wrong. deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrying 40 lbs up a 40~ foot ladder and plopping it onto a roof all day isn't exactly easy either. I've done it before, don't get me wrong it's not hard but it does get tiring after awhile. Your best bet would be Masonry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estonian dude Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I used to lift dead topics out of obscurity. Meanest muscles I've ever had after that. 3 So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends. RPG is constantly dealing with psycho exes.Muggi reminds us of the joys of polygamy.Saq is totally oblivious to how much chicks dig him.I strike out every other week.Kalphite wages a war against the friend zone.Randox pretty much stays rational.Etc, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
