      Hope this is in the right section as there are multiple questions in here...

      What do people who do heavy manual work do in relation to training volume and diet? I've started a new job where there is quite a lot of lifting heavy studio / event equipment most of the day....

      Do you find you have to work less in the gym to maximize gains, or tweak your training in some way?*

      And also, seeing as you'd be burning a lot more calories do you have to compensate with additional food/protein intake?*

      I'm actually tempted to whack in some extra test, a lot more calories and simply see how things go! Would this be a good idea?....

      Exactly this. If your tired or hungry, eat more. Simple.

      Manual job too, lots of bending and twisting at the end of a production line, crating milk bottles for 10 hours. I just eat more to compensate but my back does suffer to be honest and definately interfers with my deadlifts.

      Deca helps haha

      I tend to be as idle as possible at work however digging holes all day or holding 20kg hedge cutters and big chainsaw is hard to shy away from..
