keep it general not to dox yourself and whatnot, just wondering if there’s anyone else adopting the fielder method. and also what’s the worst thing you have had to pick up and carry somewhere? for me it is a toss up between upright piano, heavy treadmill and slab of granite.
I’m not a professional generally, but I try to make it a point to help people I know move their stuff.
The hardest thing I ever moved was also a piano, out of a basement with a tight stairwell. Luckily I had my gym rat brother come help us. But it still took four of us trying very hard to get that shit up the stairs. It was an old buddy I had kind of grown apart from, so I really wanted to do him a favor just to let him know that I was still a friend.
Honestly it contributed to me now doing strength training. And now that shit has done so much for my mental and physical health.
Again, never been a professional lifter/mover, but I’ve been on job sites about as long as I can remember and have had home improvement happening consistently with my folks.
Drywall isn’t that heavy but it is super sucky to navigate around stairs, especially when it’s moisture-proof board.
I didn’t watch the whole vid vis-a-vis Fieldering, but I’ve always treated this stuff as good exercise and also given it the respect it deserves for body safety. I don’t know if it was just reading the manual and safety labels from my slight autistic nature, but I internalized very early on to lift safely and preserve my back.
There’s a general “gym rat” atmosphere to the job-workplace itself which suits me fine though I have like no spare energy to work out on top of doing 8-14 hour house moves. that said I don’t see myself going back to computer based work anytime soon, my body likes all this activity too much.
