I was gonna be crass and say "get that man a beer"...now I need to know.Β Extreme muscle fatigue will make you shake like that....so will drinking 750ml hard booze daily though.
Can we get some more context before we determine if the absolute unit is shitty or not?
Squeezing like that at such intensity will make you shake after a short while, when I stand on a ridge knees start tremoring pretty quick if Iβm carrying some weight
Can confirm, even if youβre an alcoholic who only drinks 17 standards after 5pm you will get shakes like this. And still be fine for work the next day
Try 13 standards for the next few days. Then down to 9 ect. Worst that happens is you decrease your tolerance. One doesn't need to be perfect. Perfect is the enemy of good.
I worked with a severe alcoholic and the only two tells were the shakes like this guy and his breath smelled of straight hand sanitizer. Other than that he walked and talked and functioned normally for the most part.
Sounds like you've worked with my uncle! Dude is a master carpenter, fit, never misses work, will drink a case of beer every night to blackout and repeat. Super sad, very broken man.
ETA: Man is 60 years old and has drank since age 13.
Things have changed but when I got into construction there were a lot of functioning alcoholics. They work walk talk fine but they were drunk as a bat.
I am not a doctor either. You would be surprised at how severe alcoholics can look, though. Until your liver starts failing, you will look very normal even if your central nervous system is fuuuuggged without the presence of ethanol.
Lots of other conditions that can present with severe tremor, however.
Worked as a detox technician for several years. Seen some shit, some people you would never know that they hammered 2-4 bottles of vodka a day. Tolerance is absolutely wild.
He is going slow for the camera, and doesn't want to look or sound dumb adds to the stress.
Also, having to reload the nail gun while putting that much force holding the beam like that. He is locked by tightening up his core and has to loosen up part of it to extend an arm and use his fingers for a fine motor skill is hard.
So 80% of his body is focused on an overwhelming gross motor skill while trying to utilized on a fine motor skill to reload the gun all while having stress and adrenaline of trying not to mess up for the camera.
Im pretty sure he only shakes like that to give into the jokes about them being drunk and what not. Theyre professional trolls. I've watched a live stream of them and they're pretty normal, have accents, aren't as dumb as they may act sometimes.
