Body recovery
I’ve been working in the trades ever since I got out of the Navy in 2020. Currently I work in the telecom field and our projects include lifting and manipulating heavy batteries into battery backup systems for Comcast internet. The lithium batteries are 30lbs each and there’s 50 of them per cabinet. Lead acid has 3 or 6 each and are 80lbs each where sometimes I have to install them in aerial cabinets from a bucket. Lastly we have the heaviest batteries, thin plate pure lead batteries or TPPL and these are 150lbs each. I’ve been doing this job since June 22nd and I’ve been having a hard time coping with body recovery. What are some healthy habits or suggestions that any of you would suggest I do to help my body recover faster from day to day. I currently just try to eat a lot, hydrate and stretch.
