Kinda a silly question.
I have found a job working as a forklift driver. And im trying to figure out if it would have negative affects on body comp (compared to say a desk job).
The issues im thinking...
1. I will be doing some heavy lifting, shoveling (will affect recovery).
2. During the winter, i might be outside in the cold for a good portion of the day (sick?? immune system), and during the summer obviousley it will be hot (guessing ill be fine as long as im staying hydrated, but i find it hard to believe i could put on quality mass being in the heat all day).
Anyone had a job similar, some physical work, and out in the heat/cold? Were you able to gain during this time the same as you were when you were doing a non physical job?
I know I know the job is more important than how it will affect bodybuilding (dont need a lecture), just trying to figure how it would fit in with my lifestyle/hobby from anyone who has experience.
I have never really had a physical or outdoor job before.
Thanks.
