LOL!!
I used to be an avid bodybuilder. I was built like a brick*****house. I weighed 175 lbs had a 44" chest and 28" waist. I could bench 375 lbs for 2 reps and could do 10 reps with 350 lbs. I squatted 600 lbs for sets.
I went to go help my friend. His bro-in-law was building a house and they were doing their own block work. My friends dad wieghed about 110 lbs soaking wet and was a block mason by trade. He son (also very skinny) was his helper.
My job for the day was to mix mud and throw blocks on the scaffolding.
1/2 way through the day, I was unable to lift the blocks up onto the scaffolding anymore. I was spent. I was instructed at the beginning of the day how to do it correctly but did not have the stamina to do it all day long.
Dad and skinny son never slowed down.
According to your statement skinny weak people are not cut out for manual labor. I would have agreed with you if I had not been shown up by a 110 lb. weekling.
People adapt and can condition themselves to do anything they set out to do.
If someone wants to be a basketball star and they are short, they had better learn to jump high and shoot well.
bryanthompson nailed it we all have the right to do what we want.
