I used to do physically demanding, high rep movement work too. Doesn't mean it was good for me. Wait about 10 to 15 years when you will resemble an old bag lady. Not everyone is the same, I know many people who still do manual work in their 70s and are still fit and strong. I know many people who did office type jobs, retired at 65 and are unfit. There are people out there that do not do things safely when lifting etc.. and over time it catches up with them, but that is not the fault of what they have done, that is the fault of how they did it. As for some examples of past physical work. Pushing or pulling cages of up 250 kilos from one place to another or 2 of them of course up to 500 kilos, covering 14 miles 8 hour shift. Cutting and tipping sacks weighing up to 25 kilos 8 hour shift. Feeding a mail sorting machine lifting 10 kilo boxes and lifting letters off a frame just over shoulder width apart between my hands 8 hour shift. Tossing sacks weighing up to 25 kilos into cages 8 hour shift. Putting 10 kilo boxes into cages 8 hour shift. Working on a batching table with a rolling pin and pining ingredients into a tray before putting them on to a cage 8 hour shift. Working on a cutter take a tray off a cage cut the ingredients and then place them another cage 8 hour shift. Turning up to a photo shoot with a van and then loading the van with things that were used in the shoot sofas, furniture etc.. then driving them back to the shops that loaned them out and unloading. As I have mentioned before pushing a metal barrow 8 miles a shift when I was a road sweeper weight depending on how much rubbish was in the 2 sacks before the were full enough to take out and emptying the roadside bins 8 hour shift. I may of missed a few things, but I think you get the idea. If I had the choice to do a nice easy office job I would, but I do not have the brains for that.

Blaq,
I've definitely got a sit on my butt type of job, which includes hours on a plane a couple of times a week. I mention this as I can only speak to a short duration of work like yours when I was in high school, college and these days, on weekends at a family ranch, around the house, helping the kids relocate (carrying boxes of Ikea furniture to be assembled up two and three flights of apartment stairs -- blech), etc., but, nothing consistent.
But I think about one couple and the husband was a truck driver for a moving company for over 25 years and had to retire due to a bad back and two knee operations. Was it sitting in the truck for hours and then moving furniture and appliances in and out of homes (he said the worst were locations like New York, Chicago, etc., where you had to move things up and down narrow/awkward stair cases). Either way, the wear & tear took its toll on him and he wears a knee brace and back brace constantly now.
Farmers were known for back problems and having to wear a farmer's girdle (I can't remember the exact term) because hernias were fairly common and they couldn't afford the surgery to repair the torn muscle wall.
No doubt, repetitive work or exercise creates wear & tear.

Totally agree, but some people can take more than others. I believe in work smarter not harder. Why do hundreds of reps when you can make the exercise harder and do just enough.

Unless you're referring to the book by the greatest QB in the history of US pro football, Tom Brady?

No doubt, repetitive work or exercise creates wear & tear. When I was only laying bricks and blocks every day, I eventually got a few repeptive strain injuries that didn't want to go away. When I went back to general building the inujuries went away. Very physical work is ok if you have a lot of variety in your movements and don't spend a lot of time bent over. Mind you, I've worked with some older guys that never had problems, who had been bricklaying since they left school at 15. Guys like that are very rare though.

Yeah, being efficient/fluid in movement and using comfortable postures do a lot to keep one going. Seems to me that injuries occurred more often when I was tired. I used to do some exercises every morning that enhanced what I did for work. After a while, it made me much more injury proof to be stronger than I needed to be. I'd often come home feeling rather refreshed.

No doubt, repetitive work or exercise creates wear & tear. The truck driver how much did he weigh, because people who have never lifted anything more than a remote control can have knee and back problems. The more someone weighs the more strain they put on their joints, the bigger the gut the more strain on the back. Did he ever warm up before doing anything physical, stretch himself at the end of the day, lift and carry things safely and correctly? I have seen people use their backs to lift rather than their legs, I have seen people lower things without squatting down etc... It is not always what someone does, it is how they do it. I know wear and tear happens, but how much depends on the individual, as much as the task.
