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.
You have to share the reference. It was a classic back then: https://youtu.be/q7gzmoqmL7g?si=VEUNMzntr0Ydvpg0
I used to do something similar- I worked in a furniture warehouse. Unloaded trucks full of furniture coming in and loaded trucks for local deliveries and going to the stores going out. Steel frame electric couches and bed frames were the worst 💀
what is the fielder method? I do some heavy lifting in my job.
it’s a reference to this Nathan For You episode
my actual recommendations are trying to sneak in some stretching every morning and lift with yr knees and things that aren’t your back as much as possible! also make sure you’re getting a lot of rest. I don’t seem as injury prone as some of my younger co-workers and I think they’re not getting enough sleep.
A giant pane of glass that was custom made to protect a giant wooden conference table. The glass wasn’t heavy, but it really sucked turning a corner with it in a tight stairwell, flexing it too much, and then having to clean up a million pieces of broken glass.
I’ve also moved a lot of logs. It sux.
I used to, mostly construction materials. Worst experience I ever had from a lifting perspective was when some dickhead made me carry like 40 bags of concrete 50 feet each rather than moving his truck right next to the pallet where they were sitting and then had the gall to complain to my manager when I gave him the side eye for it. Luckily my manager was cool and told him to piss off lol
That’s always fun. I only did one job in concrete and decided that was enough for me. I once, though, had to carry 8 5 gallon buckets of paint across a street and around the corner because the boss wouldn’t let me pull my car onto the sidewalk and there was no parking where the job was.
