* Why manual labor builds what Michael’s high school friends called “bricksh*thouse strength.” It’s raw, functional strength that works in the real world and makes you exceedingly strong for your size—i.e., supermedium.
* Why manual labor jobs lead to extreme strength—but have a diminishing rate of returns over time that can backfire for strength and health.
* How to find the sweet spot where you get the strength benefits of manual labor yet avoid its downsides.
* 5 exercises to build “bricksh*thouse strength,” the powerful strength, functional strength often seen in manual laborers.
