Employment and nutrition.

I have been lifting at home. I have been on a three day split at about 15 to 20 sets a day (push-legs-pull) I recently got a job part time at Home Depot in the garden area. The job requires that I lift 20 to 50 pound bags of dirt for customers at different intervals and also stacking and loading cement block, pulling heavy pallet jacks around and rest intervals here and there. My question is how should I adjust my weight training and my nutrition to maximize strength and muscle mass?

You may have to add some more food.
I wouldn't change your training, lots of guys have heavy labor jobs full time, and still manage to get their training in.
Carrying 50 pound bags of dirt and pulling pallets shouldn't take away from your workouts. Look at it as extra general physical preparedness.0 -
Agreed. It will affect your TDEE for nutritional calculations, but if your workout was working well for you before, it should still work well.0

Honestly you should probably see a personal trainer... Probably just over cautious but i'm just imagining 3 heavy days on your rotator cuff for example.0

Most 5x5 programs are 3 days of heavy pressing. He'll be fine.0
