Reddit showing their ignorance on basic human anatomy and fitness. As a bodybuilder since I was 15 and someone who grew up doing tons of manual labour in forestry and construction, I can tell you that manual labour strengthens a lot of muscles that bodybuilding does not. I can also tell you that having large muscles does not make you less flexible or efficient than anyone else, and you can still do all the same shit. Basement dwellers on this website will have you thinking otherwise because they’re too fat and lazy to wipe their own ass.

Your hands, for one. An issue for the body builders is low grip strength.

A problem these guys have lifting the bags is grip strength. I'm not the only one in the comments who pointed this out.

You can see their lesser grip strength in the video.

I know what specificity is. Why would I need to search for it? Did you watch the video at all? You can see the guy who does this for a living has a better grip.
