Guys, is it worth it to lift weights if my job is labor stuff?

Honestly even if you don't get good "results" from the gym lifting weights can help you find out how unsafe a lot of the lifting in your job can be. A lot of lifting that jobs have people doing involves the body getting into awkward and unsafe positions which lead to so many of the injuries people get on the job. Too many guys are trying to "show off" by lifting not necessarily heavy objects, but awkward ones that seem heavy. It is easy to pick up a 50lb dumbell but a 50lb box is very different. Learning to lift weights safely alone is something that can save your back as you get older. Just that alone should be a reason to lift weights.

Plus working out can make your job easier if you workout smart and intense. If you're working out hard, you'll wish you were back at your job sometimes if you're truly hitting it hard at the gym.

it depends on your goals, your job labor will most likely tone you out and keep you in shape, lifting at the gym will get you bulk and bigger.

As my friends dad said, 'if you had a proper job, you wouldn't need to go to the gym'. Seriously, I don't think you will need to do that. Most people who lift weights are terribly imbalanced exercise wise anyway. Lifting weights makes you contracted, as will your job. You need body weight exercises, but also, flexibility, cardio, yoga, meditation for the softening, inner work. Just my view.
