Thank you so much for your knowledge!!!!!!
Thank you Sebastian for feedback, save you back!
The job isn’t for everyone. Thanks for the lifting techniques. Note that you can’t always lift like that while the shingles are on a pallet and stuck together. There’s not a whole lot of room on the truck to stand over every bundle like that and it’s 104 degrees outside(Texas). I stand at the end of the bundle, engage my core, squat down and row the bundle to me so it’s standing up. Squat again and bend it over my leg to carry and then throw on to the conveyor belt. I love my job.
Great feedback. Glad you are Thomson fab out your body
These techniques are only applicable for most easiest conditions. There so many scenarios when it comes to moving shingles. And one of them are loose shingles, on a 8 pitch, with air hoses next to you, in a 108° temp., after lifting 30 bundles, and it’s only 2:30 pm. And the boss is still telling you how to walk because you are leaving foot prints on the nailed soft shingles from the Heat.? Just one scenario out of many. I wonder what kind knowledge can a Crossfitter gain by working 12 hours in 6 days straight in 100°+ temperature. Sleep will also be an issue in these long hours. ????
thank you for this video. Tomorrow I’m going to be starting at a roofing supply company doing mostly rooftop deliveries. I need this job and I know my body is going to have to do a lot of adjusting to some very strenuous work.
@Roofing Insights hey do you always carry some stuffs on roofs and climbing on it? Everyday i mean.
crossfit and gym helps
Let us know how it goes!
Juan Alacran first two weeks are cheeks but then your body starts adjusting
How was the job? Did you get used to it fairly quickly? There’s a job opening in my area for the same job and i might apply
I used to work at 2 lumber yards, I’m a roofer now. I’d rather move 80 and 100lb bags of cement than bundles of shingles.
good one, shingles are messy, flexible and moving them on roofing job is trickky
I just throw it on my shoulder like a power clean and use my hips and legs
You can get the best workouts guide on Unflexal 🙂
lol, sarcasm at its finest
You guys never roof today in your life, get back to the gym and start pumping Pro Tien shakes to you
There heavy as g
There are several components to relieving sciatica pain quickly. One place I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Fergs pain ease (check it out on google) definately the most useful guide that I’ve seen. Check out the great information .
thanks for feedback, any other tips?
Your roof, siding and windows are like the shields. Because they protect your home from invisible (and expensive) outdoor threats

If you want a professional roofer that cares about you and getting the job done right the first time without the need for callbacks, then Simpli Roofing should be the company you call.
so you used every company around? I see
Nah. Simpli is landfill trash. They did my friends roof and they nailed all along the joints. Simpli Disfuckingraceful
Just started roofing it’s my second day I’m having severe lower back pain thank you for this! Definitely gonna change up my strategy.
+Exavier Perez good luck! Work out regularly!!!!
I start working for a roofing company next week…Thanks for techniques…
Grab end. Rest it on knee. Then fling it over your shoulder. Easiest way to pick up. If you have back problems. You have no business picking up a bundle of shingles of the ground
I stand my bundles up, then squat and toss onto my shoulder
Really good resource you have provided here Dmitri. I just want to add one thing you missed and I even saw your coach make this mistake when he moved the bell and when he side lifted the pack. One of the primary rules of safe lifting is NEVER lift and twist at the same time. To lift the pack sideways, squat and lift straight to the waist, then stand straight and do a quick knee bend dip while using your arms to swing the pack to your shoulder. Always keep your core facing forward when under load. This move is called “Down Un-weighting” and it is used extensively in athletic activities. You do this in two distinct moves, as opposed to one lifting twisting move. The real reason this works is not just the split motions but that by dipping down the load is momentarily unweighted or left hanging in space while you get under it. While it is weightless/falling you rotate it and you body. This way your core is rotated without a big load on it.
I hope this helps. Maybe you could update your video to add this in. FWIW, OSHA covers this in their safe lifting literature.
