Well? ???
I graduated this May and begun full time at the end of July. Somehow from then on, it's gone downhill with the training. A lot of things could be attributed to getting my first full time salary, it felt quite intoxicating going from barely enough to pay student literature and food to be able to buy pretty much whatever I want.
The problem is though, as time goes by, it gets worse and I realise that I can't neglect the training to the current extent. How do you manage social life/family life with work and training? Currently I'm pretty much cutting sleep hours to get back into things, working out 6 days a week and no more crisps and fizzy pops at work.

Well it's pretty complicated. You see, first I go to work, and then when I'm done, I go to the gym for my workout.
And then lastly I have relations with your mother.
-
Keep in mind you will never really look all that great.
But congrats on your degree, I never knew you had to be educated to a professional "one of the smaller guys".
-
Work? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Come on son, this is getbig. Just living off the interest.
-
Get it out of the way first thing in the morning before work.
If you have a shit day or have to work late then it's no biggie, workouts already done.
P.S. I fucked your mother as well.
-
Most of us live in our mother's basement or attic (joon) and don't have jobs. HTH.
-
i try to hit the gym once every 7 to 10 days.

I do the same thing, but in reverse...
I start with his mom.

If you are complaining about balancing work with training just wait until you have kids. :(

QFT.
I workout in the morning, in my home gym, before anybody else gets up. Of course, the downside is that I have to go to bed at 2100 every night. No nights in "da club" for this guy.

this is when it is determined whether you love to lift or if it's just a hobby. I work 50 hrs/ wk and I have 5 children ages 4 mo to 13 yrs. I get up at 4 am everyday to train just so I may be able to get an uninterrupted workout.
-
I force myself to go outside and exercise/run which it's pitch black and cars swerve at me and shit.
I need to figure out how to make morning work.
-
I get up around 1:30 or so and train between 2:30 and 3:30. Sometimes later. Physical culture is part of my life and has been for nigh on 40 years. I also take time off when I realize it's needed.
-
Hit the gym immediately after work before you get into lazy mode. That's what I did when I worked days. Working nights I would sleep and hit it when I woke up.
Having a home gym helps if you're not completely lacking in discipline. Get some Iron Master Dumbbells and his all in one bench. Takes up little room. If space is really limited use powerblocks and their simple bench. You can really get a lot done with little equipment. Everyone seems to think you have to do 4 exercises a body part. A barbell, adjustable dumbbells, squat rack, and a bench will give you all you need.
I always made it a priority to workout through insane schedules and family life.
-
I have attained a level of muscular development that few men can aspire to.
-

Not all of us have the luxury of living off Queen residuals while taking a dirt nap.
-
I train 4 years on, 1 year off system. Resting the central nervous system is important.

Exactly. Just walk out to the mailbox with a sour for the cheques.

Never had kids, never wanted any and I'm in my 4th marriage.
Having kids is a major personal decision and not to be taken lightly.

You have now begun down the career path where your value has nothing to do with doing mandatory poses.
It's also obvious, that your value to others has next to nothing to do with your ab cuts or bicep mass.
You now know, just how skewed the core values of the hardcore gym rats are compared to most of the world.

We fucking know already. ;D

take enough steroids to kill a race horse
nothing else matters

Train while you work:
:D

very sound advice.....I've learned always get your workout done in teh morning........after a shitty day at work you just want to go home, relax, and sut the world out....
by the way, while you were fucking his mother I was fucking yours ;)

wow..you're a beast......I wish I had that type of motivation....keep it up brother!
-
Work from 6 till 5 so train at works gym on my dinner
two hours hour.
It's a great escape from the work day and breaks up the day well
-
if you cant find 45min-1hour to work out you are a lazy fuck and a piss poor excuse for a human being. You sound like a fat fuck who says they are too busy to work out but have hours to shove Doritos into their fat fuck mouths.
DIE IN PISS LAZY

I suggest you wear a vintage hockey goalie mask and run waving a chain saw.
That should keep the cars from encroaching on your running space.

LOL, not quite.
Having kids is very different form of commitment and obligation.
When the previous 3 marriages went bad, we filed for divorce and went our separate ways.
With kids, you are stuck with some more of $$ commitment until they are of legal age.
BIG difference.

instead I just un-assed 8 gs and sued for custody of my first 3 and my last 2 are with my current wife.

Yates won multiple Olympia titles and worked out 4 days a week for an avg of no more then an hr per gym workout.
I started serious bodybuilding back in the 1970's.
EVERY hardcore bodybuilder I knew then , WORKED a full time job.
Most did the heavy duty form of training similar to what Yates did many years later.
They busted ass, 3-4 days a week for an hr a workout. The ate basic , sound, simple meals and used moderate , effective amounts of quality steroids. For cardio, a few ran , yes RAN hard, outside for 2-3 miles a few times a week.
If you love training and have a real passion for bodybuilding, you will find some time to workout.

Just because I wasn't meant to be a parent, doesn't mean many others love raising their children.
I know it costs you some $$ and the marriage didn't work out, but you're still a dad.
In my opinion, being a loving dedicated parent is one of the more useful ways to spend one's life.
Good luck .
-
u cant because working is a pain in the ass.

I do spend time at the gym, I think it's currently a matter of bad planning. I've rescheduled to head for the gym straight after work. My plan is to aim for 80-90 minutes of training, split 50/50 between cardio and weightlifting.
Also, one problem is keeping my girlfriend happy. Heading for the gym before work was out of question as she would be woken. Basement dwellers here will probably yell "be alpha and smack her to obedience", those others with significant others know how stubborn these can be at times.
I simply had to abide, so early afternoon it is then, all in accordance with the will of the master of the house.
Another thing which I have realised now, rather late I might add, is that I haven't really matured mentally. Previously, while studying, I now realise how incredibly selfish and entitled I was. I now realise that I have to man up and do what I have to do. Diet and training first, the rest will have to come second.

I will, if you post a pic.
Hey chimps, do you use that banana oil you sell ( avatar) on your monkey schlong when you bang her?

I got in my best ( drug free) shape when I was married, and working as a full time HS chemistry teacher and football coach, 21 yrs ago.
I ran hard each morning for 20 min , after a brief 5 min slow jog ( for cardio) on an empty stomach.
I trained 4 days a week, similar to the Yates " Blood and Guts" type of workout.
My actual diet, was Healthy Choice microwave meals with some added protein drinks .
Sergio Olivia used to work 10 hrs a day in a steel foundry , then lift for 2 hrs at the no frills Duncan YMCA in Chicago.
Ronnie was a full time cop , training at the very basic Metro Flex gym , for his couple Mr Olympia wins.
NOBODY, has to be a lazy bum or do g4p to train for bodybuilding.

You are correct in every aspect, it's just that I have to find a way which suits my life as well. The working hours are just a part of the "job", a lot comes down to the networking which happens mostly outside of working hours through after works and company events.
My aim right now is to keep a steady pace and stick to my plan of heading straight for the gym.

Some career paths make it tough to keep up with your bodybuilding lifestyle.
I don't know how I had the energy to compete when I was teaching HS and coaching full time, plus grad school ( part time).
I never won any major title but I did have a burning desire to compete, so I did.
Now, I have a lot more time and resources for bodybuilding.
BUT, at my age, I lack the motivation to do much about it...and don't care LOL.

You are superman in my book. Seriously, congrats. I wish i had that energy in me.
