Farmer strength

Has anyone here been raised or worked extensively on a farm or ranch? How does it affect your body, and is farmer fitness a real thing or is it a meme? What heavy lifting and exercise would you actually do on a modern farm these days, with all the automation that goes on?
>t. Going to work in a Montana Ranch and have no idea what I'm in for

I spent summers in junior high bucking 60 lb bales of hay. I grew 6” one summer doing this and got strong but not big... Most farmers I met are strong not big. It’s exhausting work. Best of luck.

I don't know much about farm work, but what I will say about physical jobs in general is that they can hurt your ability to recover and come with a greater frequency of wear and tear/acute injuries. I work in home/foundation construction and the biggest thing I find myself working is my forearms and lower back.

As a general rule you should lower your overall volume and eat more than you currently are to account for all the extra physical activity you might have. Take things slow until you see what it's like out there

Farm strength is just another name for “manual labor” strength. This is the strength you build from lifting and carrying heavy things. Tools, lumber, concrete, machinery, etc. builds a stron core, legs, grip, and likely shoulders.

Doing farm labor got me a mad barrel chest going, but not too big or ripped. But now my chest is a foot bigger around than my waist, it's pretty nice ngl

unrelated note: op's pic is breedable as fuck.

I was raised in a farming town and let me tell you right now
>almost everybody is fat
Fine, they're stronger than your average yankee office drone, but they still look like shit, smell like two kinds of shit (their own shit and the shit of whatever animal factory farm they work on), and act like shit.

Its not really farmer strength it's farmer endurance. Installing a fence doesn't take a lot of strength, it takes a lot of patience and endurance cause you don't put in one section a day you put in the whole thing at once. Maybe 70 years ago farmer's were robust strong men but nowadays machines have been invented to do probably 80% of the labor.

you'll get stronger, mostly because of nervous adaptation and learning how leverage works. you could potentially get death grip hand strength. you will look like shit and have nagging, minor injuries all the time

>you will never be a Spanish Re-conquistador who breeds this after taking Grenada
Feels bad dawg

Thanks Bruvs
Given that people always tell us to rest a day between heavy workouts, but farm work is gonna be 6 days a week, am I to expect severe soreness and exhaustion?

sauce on pic? latin girls are my fetish broh

You'll be much stronger than an office drop e but always alot sorer because you'll always be hurting something lifting awkward stuff, but you generally won't get much stronger than an intermediate lifter,

It gives you giant forearms

Watch Brokeback Mountain user, it should give you a pretty good idea of what you're in for.

Brian Shaw used to stack hay bales as a kid.
Some farm work is very good for developing functional strength, but some is just back breaking manual labor. If you are a kid or young adult looking for a summer job, keep this in mind. I'd rather work for a bit less pay and get some sort of strength gains out of it than work for more and do something boring

Goodbye lower back

Yeah but you could rape a girl tonight if you wanted to, and get away with it most likely. Yet you don't. My guess is you like the guts for it no matter what century you're in.

Absolutely, and this is why it's important to cut back on your volume in your routine. Eat more and sleep more.

The severe soreness is something that should likely minimize in time as your body adjusts to the constant punishment, just like it did when you first started lifting. The exhaustion however doesn't really get better, you just learn to mitigate it easier and figure out ways to push through it. If you ever wanted willpower gains, get ready bud. Because it's real fucking hard to look forward to a heavy deadlift session after you get stuck working a 12 hour shift out in the summer heat.

*lack the guts

she is a pornstar

>how does it effect your body?
It fucks it. t. fucked back and knees

>do you get stronger?
Oh yes

>will you get bigger?
No, most people in manual labour are either as thin as a rake or a 400lbs fat cunt

>is it worth it?
No.

this 100 percent

get ready to be too tired to do anything

It's gonna be some hard ass work, but it gets better. It is a hell of a workout. what's really gonna make a difference is eating healthy and not lifting with your back

>is farmer fitness a real thing or is it a meme?
kek it's a fucking meme.
I lived and worked as a farmer with my wife. It's not a great way to get a workout it since most of the physical stuff is either too rough on your joints to do all day or not stimulating enough to build muscle. Farmers tend to have strong hands but not really stronger than a weight lifter to any capacity.

I think the only reason why people thought farmers were strong back in the day is because average people were weak as fuck.

Worked on a farm one summer and it just got me really cut. Maybe if you do it your whole life, you will get burly arms but that doesn't seem to be the case from farmers I know.

Not a farm but I've been working in a warehouse lifting/moving around heavy shit for like a year now. I'd say my overall strength has increased a decent bit. Basically just doing cardio and "light" conditioning work 8 hours a day if its busy. This can be easily spun into a positive with the right diet, mind set and lifestyle but most guys have a beer gut and eat like fucking garbage.

Grew up on a farm and still help out today when I visit the folks, modern machinery takes out the bulk of the "hard" work but there's still a lot of things that are done by hand and ultimately the machines are complex and break down often and either you end up doing mechanic's work (lots of contorting into small/awkward spaces, bearing weight in weird ways, lots of joint pain) or doing the work the old-fashioned way if it's relatively minor stuff like laying fence (which is hard and exhausting). And ultimately, planting seed 12 hrs/day is still exhausting even if you're in a tractor that mostly drives itself nowadays.

Livestock will be different, a lot of that is still done by hand. You won't get huge or strong per se, it's mostly endurance. You'll have a solid core/back.

Recovery is gonna be rough. You're probably going to want to do a little less until you get used to what you'll be doing and know how it's going to hit you, and you're going to need to eat more just about guaranteed.

I have my old man a hand digging some trenches over the weekend, it's easily been 7-8 years since I moved out so don't get the practice I used to. But swinging the crow bar for a a few hours and cleaning out the trenches left a bit more the day after. Back and legs mainly. Forgot how good if a workout it is.
