Tweetnever drilling but I worked various construction jobs for four years and they can beat the hell outta ya and can make it tough to workout bc ur so f'n beat
TweetI didnt think this job would be as labor intensive as others told me. Im kinda out of shape at the moment and this job really shows it. Im still strong and all but I can tell I've lost some strength. I think I lifted about 40 50 lb bags from here to there, dug about 100ft of trench out, moved about 20 30lb bags 2 at a time, made about 40 connerctions on the drilling rig, used a hack saw to open 5 gallon buckets and bunch of other shiat. Im going to be back in shape quick.
Anyone else here ever work on a drilling rig?

TweetI've never worked the oil fields but been in commercial construction for a while, running a crew of about 20 carpenter's and laborer's. It's a tough business to be in. Starting out as a roughneck is even tougher.
TweetI haven't worked on a rig but work construction. That's why in your other thread I posted that after working this job for awhile you'll have to cut some of that partying out. I did know what you were getting into.
Make sure to eat more than normal because your burning cals like crazy now.
Nothing like a little hard work. lol
TweetUPS kicked my ass especially when people werent doing there jobs right in front of me .They kept missing all there shiat and I was at the end of the belt so had to throw it back up there ! I had 4 big trucks while everyone had 2-3 trucks not fair thats why I boogied .The money might be good but some jobs will wear u out .Just make sure u try to get enough rest cause those types of jobs overworks ur body more than ur body can handle !

TweetYeah right now I dont think Id want to go to the gym. Im sore as hell in my forearms, top of my back and shoulders, triceps and legs. I'll get used to it soon though.
TweetYeah its tough. I just think about the pay. Im going to be making a little shy of double what I was before.
TweetYeah havent dont much of anything the last 4 but sleep, eat and work. I eat a lot out there. The other guys say theyve noticed I eat a lot. I need to come up with some healthier options though so I can really reap the benefits.
TweetYup, Its good money, rather okay money for the time being (if you decide to go to school you'll more than likely make more money in the LONG run) but come summer time you'll be hating ****ing life and your job. I decided to go back to school myself and get a degree so I won't be 40 years old busting my ass doing labor intensive work. It may be for some people but not me.
Best of luck to ya.
TweetI'll pass.
TweetYour sore now wait till your 40 or 50. And it's good money now, but if you go to school (tech or college) you'll probably make more money in the long run and save your body. No one wants to be old and hurting.
