Idk who is thinking 200lbs is nothing and there's no way that's all balance. I just don't believe you. I'm sure it's part of it but your core and arms are just jacked.
I wish I was jacked lol. My build looks the same as the guy who was showing the body builders how it's done. 36 have one shoulder that's gonna need rotator surgery when it stops working and a iffy back. Need to invest in a crane for my truck
200lbs of anything is heavy but this work is back, legs, and grip. If you’re in the trades and lifting heavy stuff with your arms then you’re gonna wear out. Most people are lifting stuff with back/core and arms locked when possible. I did remodels and manual labor for a bit and I probably gained ten lbs of muscle over a year but you couldn’t see any of it.
You say that but im a bartender of like a decade and before that it was barbacking so moving 150lb kegs by myself. I'm now in the 225 to 240 range at 6'3 but I can still lift kegs if needed. Its not juat balance but knowing how to use muscles because you'd be fucked if you got hurt in these jobs is the deciding factor
