There is something to be said about building strength through manual labour — Google farmer strength.

I experienced some similar when I was working demolition in Sydney, Australia.

All-day every day we would be smashing brick walls with sledgehammers, jackhammering concrete and shifting rubble by hand — much like you were in your story.

It doesn’t take long before you start to build up that internal strength. You may not look big, or have all the fancy muscles but when it comes to lifting and gripping, the skills are there.

Thanks for sharing your story and for putting that show-off in his place, it’s always fun knocking someone like that off his perch 😂.
