Absolutely! Strong shoulders are a lifesaver for those overhead jobs-boarding and skimming ceilings can really put them to the test. I definitely pay extra attention to shoulder workouts to keep them strong and ready for the job’s demands. It’s all part of the job’s built-in workout! 😄💪
@chchedda I prefer the mornings too, but with juggling school runs for my two daughters along with my wife, I end up doing some evening workouts as a compromise. Keeps the balance, even if it’s a bit tougher after a long day! 😄💪
Nice to see a fellow plasterer who hits the gym and looks after themselves. Most lads in the trade eat shite and don't take care of their body's. Its my motivation tbh. 💪🏻
@chchedda Thanks, appreciate that! Totally agree-staying fit and healthy really makes a difference, especially in a physical job like ours. I find that training and looking after myself keeps me sharp for the work and helps me go the extra mile on the job. Keep pushing! 💪
Hi Danielle, Really positive person your a great role model for up and coming plasterers .looking for advise regarding protein and recovery , do you recommend a meat based diet or a plant based diet, I'm 83 my next birthday and I'm still plastering 5 days a week I still love it ,I firmly believe it keeps me going.ps love your videos Regards fellow plasterer
You’re absolutely right! Squats, deadlifts, bench press, and barbell rows are fantastic for building overall strength, especially for core and functional power. I totally agree that strength training is essential. The StairMaster, on the other hand, brings in that endurance element, specifically targeting cardiovascular health and stamina, which is key for the long days plasterers often face. A mix of both approaches can really help build the complete fitness package for our line of work. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🏋️♂️
@Plastering-c2q I usually go for the sauna after a strength workout and the cold tub after a run or endurance workout-although I’m guilty of doing both maybe a bit too often! It’s a great routine if you’re looking to add something new to your recovery.
@Plastering-c2q Thanks so much! It’s amazing to hear from someone with your experience-83 and still going strong is truly inspiring! I personally follow a meat-based diet and aim to hit 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight daily for recovery. I also use a meal prep service called Prep Kitchen for all my meals, except for dinner with the family in the evening. It keeps me on track and makes it easy to stay consistent. Keep up the amazing work, and thanks again for the kind words!

Got to keep those shoulders strong especially when boarding and skimming ceilings 🤣
