[QUOTE="SteveHants, post: 7917673, member: 3380"] Its you doing something specific you have trained your body to do over several years/decades which he has not, you'd really hope that you are better at it. I can remember much the same feeling when shovelling aggregates into the back of a tipper with my mates dad when I was 19ish - I'd been a county swimmer, the training wasn't conducive to shovelling. I bet I was a faster swimmer though. :p Who has better Rugby Skills? Who would win over a 100 yard dash? He's probably trained for those (or at least, you'd hope he had) You could, if you so chose make training/conditioning slightly work specific - something I played around with to reduce injury. For me, that meant some of the Olympic lifts, weighted sleds, "Farmer's" carries, rubber "atlas" stones, log press etc. Other than that, I trained strength and conditioning for Rugby in my later years (more or less). Now I just do it for fun really, I like being stronger than I was this time last week and am thinking of entering an amateur strongman next year (if being 42 with a slight physical disability doesn't make me think its a stupid idea). Its fun to have goals - Just before Christmas, I deadlifted 200KG at 84KG body mass. It's probably small potatoes to some people, but Id been going at 200 for ages so I was dead pleased. These things keep us sane/motivated and provide headspace away from work. [/QUOTE]
