have you ever lifted 100lb+ sandbags for any length of time? it's far more exhausting than a majority of 45 min strength training routines. I'd even argue it's more warranted a reason to eat carbs than a hour strength routine as those have been shown to run through very little of your overall glycogen stores anyway unless you are pushing 2 hour + workouts at a high intensity..
No but I have lifted furniture much heavier than that. I don't know how intensely you train, but my training sessions are much more exhausting than any sort of labor I have ever done. Look we can just agree to disagree.@ Original poster, sorry for this argument. You can backload how ever you may wish. Just find what gives you results and stick with it. You are an adult and you can take responsibility for yourself.
this bloke shouldnt CBL if hes exausted at work all day from strenuous labor, just stick to eating carbs when you feel you need them man like mannnnnnnnny others in this world one thing you willl learn is not to use training for an excuse to eat carbs this leads to the wrong mindset focusing on food rather then the big picture, dont give yourself "rules" if your fucked all day long at work

Hey, no worries I actually like the little debate going on here. I made this post to pick your brains. I'll just gauge it on how I feel after work. Like the book says. "Flat and lethargic, back load. Tight and Holding water, don't"Depth before dishonor!!!!
it wouldn't catabolize muscle if you actually had enough stores ie ate some carbs through the day or had enough stores to support this.. depends on the labor also but if you are sitting there doing a jackhammer, lifting things like sandbags and heavy materials from one place to another or digging ditches ect ect how is that not an activity that wouldn't drain your glycogen? many forms of manual labor can be very very similar to strength training sessions or even HIIT depending on the work..
It's nothing like strength training. It's not intense muscular work. If it was you wouldn't be able to do it all day and construction workers would all be jacked and they're not. It's nothing that the muscles can't handle on mostly ketones.
Lumber Jacks, Miners, actual construction workers not the lazy one that hold up signs and farmers. Not to mention humans aren't naturally as "jacked" as the movies portray. People in the past like warriors were "soft" compared to today's standards.Depth before dishonor!!!!
