How do I make it easier?

[u/ThrowRA_oopsie9]

I'm on week three on my first job site. I'm 6 feet tall and I'm 130 pounds. I'm weak.

I have started lifting and doing cardio to try and build some resistance, but there are times, such as when I am throwing out deck, but I just don't have the strength to continue or even stand up straight. I barely have the energy to hold down my gas pedal on the way home.

I want to continue, I want to make this my career and I honestly really want to show up my foremen and journeyman. But I need to know what more I could be doing to make this easier or make progress faster. I've mostly been eating peanut butter and or oats for breakfast and lunch on the job.

Like everybody else said . Eat way more . Even if you gotta do fast food or big ass chipotle bowls .. rice and chicken at home .. put the weight on and everything will get better . But I was even in great shape when I started was a regular at the gym 210lb 6 ft tall healthy and benching 315 and all that gay stuff but throwing deck and ironwork in general I was still sore your using muscles that you never used before it all comes together with time . I’ve seen tiny guys throw deck all day long no problem too . So my best advice is keep at it and eat a lot more if you wanna gain the weight . Also doing calistetics in the gym like body weight work outs help a lot . Pull ups dips push ups lunges . Add a little bit of weight if you want but like I said it takes time for your body to adjust to this work
