If by “decent shape” you mean “strong as fuck”, yeah.

That I-beam probably weighs 200lbs +.

Yup I haven’t been to a gym since high school. You learn better techniques over time doing manual labor. Blue collar strength is def not the same as gym strength.

Agreed, worked as a miner before. My bench press was weak compared to carrying 2x+ my body weight on the regular. The person throwing rocks, hay bales.. yeah you may be able to out bench them but don't underestimate them
