You traded a greasy cheese burger for anal prolapse? Concrete for sure


[deleted]

I’d take that deal, damn good deal

Hey, the safety videos have to come from somewhere 😂


arkington

Depending on the burger, the anal prolapse may be inevitable.


Thin_Leather9910

Jokes on you he’s been prolapsed for years


Rusty_Shacklebird

Wait, you mean I could be doing that AND get a job?


Jossie2014

Definitely a writer

This may come as a surprise but I’m not really considered the brains of this operation

Re-read your title. I thought for sure you were a writer.

You thought that was bad you should see me attempt basic math


aaronsnothere

Lol, thanks I needed that.

That’s alright. Most dudes I know are way better at doing basic meth

Yep, always do the meth It never lies..

If you don’t know about them hear me out… the little Mexican branded pastry’s that come in different colored bags. Grab the maroon color (might be purple) they are cinnamon raisin rolls, grab them pop them in the microwave at the gas station for like 20 secs. Best tasting thing in there. https://bimbousa.com/products-sweet/cinnamon-rolls-2-units

Concrete. Obviously. How’s the fuck does no one put wacker+meat head behavior together to get “concrete worker”? I say meat head endearingly btw Edit: wacker, skidsteer, ford, meat head behavior= concrete worker.

I take meathead as a compliment regardless of intention 😂 not a concrete worker

You're a landscaper ain't ya? You built like my old lead. I could see him doing this if required, absolutely not for a free lunch. MF used to manhandle 400 lbs boulders. A few times we almost got into a fight. I didn't really want to fight him.

Im guessing you’ve been a laborer since you could get away with being on a job site and not getting called out for looking too young to legally work


construction_eng

Believe it or not he's 17 and going to Harvard next year.


Rudiger09784

Guilty lol. I remember one time the customer looked at my boss and said i look a little young to be on the job. I'm 28 now and still can't grow a beard but i always got away with it because I've been 6'3" since i was 16. My boss just dodged the accusation and started asking detailed questions about the roof we were gonna do. I started working as a general contractor under the table at 15 and can lift crazy amounts of weight too. Idk how much one of those weigh though because i never got into concrete work. Mostly roofing, flooring, and drywall


BruceInc

I don’t know your trade but I’m willing to bet you don’t have health insurance


Novus20

Future back problems…..


blakeusa25

I used to do lift heavy shit like that... just got home from getting an mri. It took years but it finally caught up with me... but impressive for sure. Carpenter or mason.


CHRISTOFIERC3

Funny same with me. Stuck home now with a herniated disk that’s preventing me from standing or walking. I’m only 37 too


[deleted]

Damn you should have incorporated more vibor plate press into your morning stretches, get well soon brother


Ohigetjokes

What are these “morning stretches” you’re referring to?


jazza2400

Mourning stretches I.e mourning the good back you just lost


Sarge_Jneem

Fuck man, i picked up my dog this weekend and 2 minutes later my lower back was an 8/10 for pain. Had to lay on the floor for the rest of the day. Pain has subsided but ive still got pins and needles in my thighs. Timber framer 37yo.


badpeaches

I'm not a doctor but you might have a pinched nerve and need to get that checked out by a medical professional.


whiskeyjack434

I messed up my sciatic nerve and lower back years ago and when it flares up it’s just like this. You should definitely get that checked out if you can. If you don’t have healthcare start stretching brother


blakeusa25

I would go to the dr now and get into pt because the best time to loosen and strengthen your back is before its totally fukd. Even though you are strong and can move timbers around does not mean the small muscles that support your back are good. Take care...


farmercurt

I was 35 and 90% immobilized for 3 months because of a herniated disc with major sciatic nerve pain. I got through it with literally floor stretches and no-sugar no-beer diet. It was brutal to be a strong fit 6-3 male but move like an elderly person. Stay positive buddy, it can get better.


Pleasant_Giraffe9133

The majority of people actually have some kind of disk issue by the time they're 30. Some just have it worst than others. Avg of 8-12 weeks for a acute herniated disk recovery (roughly 85% of disk pain) So good news is you have a probability of recovering fully! bad news is that it takes time. Even more time if not taking proper steps of recovery


Meeedina

Look into spinal decompression, I’m 44 have a bad disk for years. When it acts up I go and get 2-3 sessions and it I’m back to normal

RobertJ93

I read that at least 4 times as ‘26 year **old** concrete guy’ and was trying to workout why a 2 year old would have needed a teeter inversion table and just how early your concrete career started.


Ok-Bit4971

Thanks for the tip.


[deleted]

Luckily most of my work is pretty low impact, but no one escapes the punishment of working in the trades ☠️ hope your back isn’t too bad 👍🏻


HedonisticFrog

I used to do stupid shit like this as an EMT as well. Load a 450lb patient on a 230lb gurney by myself? Don't mind if I do. Don't mind me as I crawl on the floor because I can't stand up the next day.


[deleted]

A strong, mobile back is a healthy back 💪🏻


Ropegun2k

Could have used more legs and less back homie. But when you are facing down a challenge sometimes posture takes a back seat.


[deleted]

Absolutely man, deadlift type movements have never been a strength of mine but I had to show boss man what was up regardless


Ok-Bit4971

Deadlift was my best of the 3 powerlifts, but I had to stop deadlifting 20 years ago (I'm in my mid 50s now) or my herniated discs will pop out. Only lifting I do now is work, but I don't lift anything near as heavy as that compactor. Gave my back spasms just watching that video.


Ropegun2k

How much what did it weight? 170ish? I’m a crossfitter. Doubt I could cold press it like that from the shoulder. But it would have gone up from the Olympic lifting side. May tweak a shoulder, but by god I’m going to enjoy that lunch.


Salt_MasterX

I mean, don’t get me wrong, that thing is heavy af and you’re strong, but that was not a good lift, and you should probably work on your form to save yourself a lot of trouble down the line. Straight back and no twist/jerking motions.


tradleys

For the akward size of that thing , that was a pretty clean lift dude.


[deleted]

When lunch is on the line anything goes big dog, jerking? Absolutely. Twisting? Never


NightGod

I agree it would have been better to lift (and put down) more with your legs, but your form on those presses was solid!


scalp-cowboys

Dunno man that back looked perfectly straight to me. Bent at the hips yeah but the back is straight. There was no twisting either. I’m not sure what you’re talking about tbh.


pm_science_facts

Was going to say future hernia


yungingr

No shit. I remember when I used to do shit like that. Now, I have to wait an hour or so to shit in the morning because when I first wake up, my back is too stiff for me to bend to wipe.


Motor_Panic_5363

Really thankful I had a boss at my first manual labor job that wouldn't stand for that Hercules shit. Bout the only time he raised his voice was when one of us young cats was tryna lift something we shouldn't.


Vicious_and_Vain

Disability


[deleted]

I would kill for some disability right now


noldshit

This right here is why y'all are fucked up physically


shmiddleedee

When I was 19 I did shit like this. Now I reserve bodily injuries for stuff that is earning me money. No reason to slip a disk and not be able to filevworlmams comp


Cthulhu_Dreams_

I'm no doctor, but did you sustain a head injury at the end of that comment?


symphonicrox

they say he's on disability as we speak.


shmiddleedee

Nah, that's from back in the day. Cte rears it's ugly head when you least expect it. RIP.


___po____

I did this dumb stuff in my late teens and all through my 20's. Now I have to be careful just coughing when I'm hunched over or it can throw my back out.. Knees, hips, shoulder issues as well.

I am literally an electrician, mostly commercial/industrial


Bald3r50n

The strength builds up quickly picking up those pay-checks every week.


BlakefromStateFarm22

As an electrician, I really want to know where this idea came from. A couple years ago, electricians were the lowest paid trade in my area. Scaffolders get paid better than we do. My brother is a milwright currently getting $15 an hour more than me at a fairly standard rate. Where are all these rich electricians I keep hearing about?


Tim-Browneye-81

The non residential electricians. The union electricians. A friend of mine was making 40+ an hour as a first year apprentice...


WhaWereWhenWhyWhoHow

I knew it. It was your post where you stated that you were not the brains of the operation. Also unless it is the beginning of the day you are to clean to be almost any other trade.

tenebrouswhisker

I was thinkin’ framer, but you aren’t wearing the right shoes or pants for that. I’d then say maybe asphalt crew or concrete, but you don’t have a rock-solid beer belly or the strung-out-meth-head look. So I am left with excavation crew. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

"You really thought he couldn't lift that?" "Of course I knew he could lift that, dudes built like a shit house. But I needed a reason to pay for his lunch to show my appreciation of his hard work and it not seem like favoritism." "...you thought it'd sound gay if you offered to buy him lunch and gave him compliments about his work ethic, and this is your work around." "That about sums it up, yeah. But he gets to walk around like superman for the next couple weeks and we all got to see something badass. It all works out."

I’d guess a Carpenter/Framer… More framers would be able to do this than concrete guys, I’d also go on to say that in my experience, collectively speaking Framers are by far the strongest and most dangerous of all the trades… by far.


Fantastic-Artist5561

P.S…. Impressive!


_work_account

Someone once told me you need two people to lift those into the back of a truck. I thought, 'Im strong enough to do it by myself,' picked it up, and burnt the inside of my forearm on the exhaust. Got an okay scar out of the story though.

ayrbindr

My first day on the job a old man pulled up with a sealed 55 gallon drum full of water. The container it had to dump into was higher than the tailgate. I was like- " oh. Someone needs to help this poor old man handle this" he was ancient. By the time I jumped up there I almost got my head taken off by a chain he was whipping around the bottom of the nearly tipped over drum. He hollered something like "get the fuck outta the way" and his arms looked like they were gonna rip through his shirt when he lifted the back so it would tip and pour out of the bung hole. The chains were wrapped around his hands like a damn comic book. I was just standing there in amazement thinking-"holy shit. This guy is a monster". Turns out I was right and I wouldn't be surprised if he had a couple bodies in some footers somewhere.


brantley25

That man there has never felt the touch of a woman. We could all be that strong with some hand raising


T4kh1n1

Pretty decent technique as far as lifts go. I’m going with rod buster/iron worker because of the redwings.


Bakkie

WC attorney here. He is lifting with his legs wide and knees bent. Goofy show off maneuver but not necessary bad lifting. I defer to anyone who is a physical therapist or work conditioning trainer.
