By being fit, tubbs.

You lost 40 pounds by moving boxes around?
I spent a chunk of my summer on a paleo dig in Montana, hiking eight hours a day over some rough terrain, and I only lost five pounds (215 -> 210).
How fat were you before?

>>3553523
fat :(

>>3553523

How much were you eating, eh?

OP you need to start working out.

I adviser you do the following every morning.
>Oatz
>Squats

>>3553523
also it's not just move around. you get like an order of 200-300 cases (some weight above 70 pounds), and you have to squat down to pick them up if they are on bottom shelves and what not (and theres a TON of water cases, I can't believe how much water gets ordered).

>>3553533
i'm really fit now actually.

>>3553531
Well, we actually ate quite a bit in order to keep our strength up. Plus about three liters of Gatorade every day...

>>3553523
you hang out here a lot mr. D. torosus tooth.

I'd bet a shiny nickel you'll one day run into me on a dig in colorado or utah and you're gonna mention your dig in montana and I'm gonna recognize you but you won't recognize me and I'm gonna secretly troll the fuck out of you.

or maybe not.
what's your name?

>>3553544
Well i lived off of chicken breasts and salad the entire summer.

>>3553549

Good job OP im glad you got in shape and made some money doing it.

>>3553567
Yea it paid well actually. 14.50 an hour or 15 during days and 16 overnight.

>>3553548
I think you might be mistaking me for a different paleofag; I don't remember mentioning Daspletosaurus here.
Gabe Jacobs, though. You?

>>3553574

Shit...

dare I ask where you live

>>3553577
canada, ottawa. full timers get paid 23+ an hour.

>>3553595
Canadian dollars, then. Ay, there's the rub.

>>3553604
Canadian dollars are worth more than US by the way...

>>3553595

Figured that much

I attempted to get a job this summer no luck.

Thats Vermont for you

Is the chick from your pic Death from DC comics?

>>3553576
The Daspletosaurus was on /an/ a couple days back. It might have been someone on the same dig... though I'm sure there was more than one dig it's not like millions of people are out there in any given year.

if you find yourself doing dinos, and are ever in the morrison watch for an oldfag theropodologist by the name of Tim.

>>3553618
indeed.

>>3553483
Goddamn. Are you my dad? He's always going on about how difficult his warehouse job was that he had when he was a teen, and giving me shit for not having a job like that.

I'm like, Dad, geez, I had an internship last summer, I'm studying.... but no. Warehouse uber alles.

(He's not really like a son, I am disappoint guy most of the time, but he does love to troll me with warehouse stories anytime I remotely complain about being tired.)

>>3553665
He got the difficult part alright. All my years of studying pale in comparison on the strain physical labor does.

fit/fat mode achieved?

>>3553863
I feel as if I'm looking at a bodybuilder trying to incorporate a very large novelty lava lamp into his body.

>>3553909
well i told you i'm still fat.... just not as fat as before.

>>3553863
Crunch, man! Crunch! That is so weird.

>>3553958
>crunches
>for body fat
lol.

>>3553863
did you have to low ride your pants?

>how do people do this for a living period?
ha... doing this kind of work is what inspired me to go back to school in the first place, so yeah... i don't know the answer to that question as well lol

and i know what you mean about losing the weight... i was thinking about getting another job like that just to shed off all the weight i gained after i got laid off and started going to school full time

Is this considered as a good wage in Canada/US?

>>3553483
>So I spent this summer working in a warehouse (order picker). I wanted some exercise and take a break from studying (and managed to lose 40 pounds) but god damn: how do people do this for a living period?

I did as well, driving a Cherry Picker heavy equipment thingy. I did it for Ford for ~2 months. I don't see what the big deal is. I'm about as out of shape as you can get for being a man, but it wasn't that bad.

>>3554013
That's considred an insane wage in the usa (normal minimum wage in us is 7.25

>>3554014
>. I'm about as out of shape as you can get for being a man, but it wasn't that bad.
Correction: While being ~6 ft and ~160 lb.

>driving a Cherry Picker heavy equipment thingy
not that kind of order selecting... the kind you do with your hands, at a very fast pace.

i did order selecting at a grocery store distribution center once... summer was killer when i had to throw like 200 cases of gatorade onto the belt that took the freight down to the palletizers. i still don't know how my back remains intact after all the heavy fucking lifting i did for that place.

>>3554043
I might have been driving a cherry picker, but I was still loading the pallette and containers by hand. The stuff was not light.

Sounds like you had it more brutal though.

>>3554017

Holy shit, not even 12-year olds would accept that here!

>>3554058
where is here?

7.25$ or 5€ are pretty low, but average for low skill/low effort jobs in Germany.
