I'm subscribed however, this podcast was recommended of all of yours. So I listened. Like the questioner, I work a rather physical job, not drywalling by any means. But it helped point me in the right direction and think more about where I needed to add strength besides in my back. I also learned that while listening to you, I get more intense to what I'm doing, which at this stage probably isn't my best move! Either way, thanks for inadvertently helping me out.

Honestly I think he should just push through and do the workout anyway. I used to be a mover for 7 1/2 years and I would literally RUN heavy ass furniture and boxes and pack the truck simultaneously because I was also a crew chief. And I would work 10 hours a day and sometimes I’d even do moves that lasted 22-24 hours and I’d still come into work the next morning with no sleep! Those days I didn’t get to workout after work but on normal days I’d workout everyday after I finished work. I struggled with discipline but I forced myself to do it even though my fingers and body were sore as hell and callused. It was hard, really hard. But I noticed that when I would workout despite being sore, on the next days when I worked doing moving I would seriously work way harder and more effective whether I was sore or not. I was just simply much stronger because of the workout. And since I struggled with not having perfect discipline, I would regularly workout about 4 days a week and rarely hit 6 days a week but I KNOW IN MY HEART that if I constantly managed the 6 days a week with pure discipline, I’d always be at my best on the job site. Because on those days where I decided to skip my workout, my body looked less pumped and I wouldn’t be AS strong as when I forced my workout in. Just saying, he should force through it and workout anyway.

People with physical jobs often talk about not being more physically fit. I think you’re correct about diet, but I think there is a lot to be said for sustaining a target heart rate for a period of time.

Not as cool, but 6 miles every day after school for cross country running. It wasn't fun per se, but it was rewarding and gratifying, and definitely kept me in good shape.

I work in retail and start the shift 04:00 a.m. I have to wake up at 02:45 do some Burpees, eat a Muesli. After that I have to cycle for 6km up hill. I mostly sleep three to fours hours before I go to work after work, I come home and eat and then I sleep till I wake up and feel refreshed. Then I drink one black coffee, train calisthenics and some resistance band judo training, drink a protein shake, eat healthy and then read till I fall asleep. Once a week I go to Judo classes.

I heard this back when it came out. As a construction worker, i took that into consideration, I realized one of the best things I can do is just squat and deadlift and strengthen my back. So work, jiu jits (obvi) and some leg and back workouts. When I first started listening to you guys, I was drywalling, just had a baby, a dog, doing jiu jitsu, and waking up at 430 to work out, and sometimes working out at night if i didn't go to jiu jitsu. Do you know how long it took me to get sick? Well, after pulling a muscle in my neck, like a few weeks, after doing a 200 pullup workout with some cardio. Definitely have to take it easy. Just how people take other of jocko's points too seriously, there's dichotomy in discipline and getting after. You don't have to cut your sleep down to 4 hours to wake up at 4:30 because getting after it and discipline means getting up at 4:30. Working construction you probably need 8 hours like me, and like most guys don't get because they stay up drinking all night which is why they still look like shit even though they work hard.

I think training with autoregulation is a big thing he didn't mention. It's perfect for lifting with unreliable readiness without overly taxing yourself while still making steady progress. Barbell Medicine's programs would be my suggestion.

Michael Russell “meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar”. No food with an ingredient label: an apple is an apple, a box of something is not real food. Stay on the perimeter of a supermarket, where the food is fresh. Hope it helps.

When I worked at a gas station, it was an area that was booming. Most of my customers were construction workers and most of them were out of shape, ate nothing but junk and processed food. They would buy and drink 3-4 energy drinks a day. I would always think if you need this to make it through 1 day then you need to eat better. I tried talking to some about it, but most don't want to hear it. Until something happens with their health

I was running into the same issue with my job. I'm a mobile aircraft mechanic and I spend lots of time either squatting in awkward positions and also lots of driving to different airports, sometimes 5 hours away. Started doing more core exercises to relieve the stress in my lower back and more cardio. Now those 13 or 14 hour days don't beat me up as much as they use to. And I noticed my stamina has increased to a point where I can recover fast enough to do it all over again the next day. I think doing the right work outs that complement what you do also helps with motivation and stamina to get through the work day.
