I work at a grocery store comprised of mostly female employees. Since most of them are girly girl types, myself and the three other guys at work usually end up doing most of the heavy stocking.

Long story short, this means alot of deadlifting, pressing, etc. Most of the time it isn't extremely heavy weight, but I'm doing this exercise about 100 times a day or more depending on the work load. This makes me sore and makes it hard for me to justify doing deadlifts and overhead presses when I get home. It makes work the next day absolute hell.

Am I going to physically harm myself working out like this after work? Should I just treat my normal workday as a workout and leave it at that? The only problem is I can't gauge the weight that I'm deadlifting, it's always somewhere between "light" and "holy fuck, fuck this job."

TL;DR. Not quitting job, qqing, drama queen.

You're going to have to ease into a training program, given how much physical work you do during the day.

It'll be slow going, but it's not impossible.

To clarify: I used to unload electronics equipment from trucks for a living. The average dolly load was between 300 and 600 pounds and we would have to carry big spools of wiring up stairs and ramps and shit. During the busy season I only had enough energy for work, eating and hygiene. During the slow months, though, I was able to work out like a monster because of the volume of output I was used to.

Makes sense?

Depends. What are you going for? Gaining mass? Muscle definition? Or gaining strength?

I'd leave your workday as your workout, and do heavy lifts on weekends (or whatever days you don't work).

Your workday is going to give you endurance, so you want to work entirely on strength when you do have breaks.
