Work schedules and training while on gear...how are yours?

[bigjohn_bluesfan]

While on cycle, (and off cycle) I like to train like hell. Obviously while on cycle the desire is a little greater though.

Just out of curiosity, do you guys have as crazy a day as I do when it comes to work and training?
Hell, I get up at 5:30 to eat and get ready for work. Then I work from 7:30 to 6 pm.... get home at 6:30 pm and then have just enough time to eat and then I have to head to the gym for 2 hrs. Then its freakin damn near 10 oclock and time to eat and go to bed.

Hell, i hate training in the evenings, but with this crazy shit I have no choice. I got to make that money.

This may have been a little better suited for the training forum, but i dont know those guys in there and I want to hear what you guys (my boys) have to say.... so bring it.

Dont go home first after work, if you can.  Bring a protien bar and a change of clothes.  Hit it 1.5 hours if you can get er done a little faster.  You will probally make it home by 8:00pm then eat or have the new wife have dinner ready for you 

Iam lucky with my work times, im in the gym by 4:15pm, back home around 6:00-6:30pm getting dinner cooked.  helps I live about 3 mins. from the gym

so you know the feeling...the shit is tough---my schedule is tapering off now but it was much like you described up until rcently..... I was working and running my buisness but i sold it and now we are moving and i will have only one job but Its alot of hours..but i am done at 6pm each day.....7:30-6pm

[bigmikecox]

I have the same schedule.  Work from 8-5pm. I have the luxury to live behind Gold's Gym so I can walk to it.  I try and get 2 meals in before work and 3 while at work.  I come home, change and head to the gym at 6:30pm, train to about 7:30-45pm, come home, eat again and go to bed.  Not the most exciting lifestyle, but it works

[bigjohn_bluesfan]

it kinda sucks but then kinda not because the alternative is looking like shit and anything is better than that. i try to train really hard on Saturday and Sunday so my ycouple of off days can be during the week, which means I only really have 3 hell days like we are describing. I guess we all find some way to make it work. i thing udeluz works 12 hour shifts every damn day. boy that sux.

[whitewidow]

damn sounds shitty. works tends to fuck ALOT of things up. I work 7 days a week 10hrs a day at least- sometimes more. I work at home so thats a bonus for me. I used to work a job where I had to be there at a precise time and I did that for 3 years but that put a huge cramp on the lifestyle. Now I wakeup at about 2:30-3:00 PM everyday and work through till 5AM some days. I take breaks too work out but my workouts only last 45min to an hour because I always just hit one bodypart. the rest of the day im just at home working and eating and drinking muscle milk-working and in my spare time browsing the boards. I dont make that much money compared to some guys I know but I am happy as ever and thats what counts.

Have 5-8 meals a day......and dont leave the house without my 5lbs bucket of whey protein.

[benchmstr]

i work from home and recently started helping out at my gym,so i know how hectic it can be

[Arnold jr]

Pretty basic, work around a 40hr wk, usually train around 6:00p.m., in bed around 11:00 or so, up at 6:00 or so. I also like taking my 2 off days during the wk so that Sat. and Sun. I can have those 2 days just for training.

[G]

everybody here seems to train between 5-8 pm.In all the gyms i've trained those are the most crowded hours - thats why I'd like to go later on , after 10 pm, so i don't have to wait for a bench, machines, dumbels etc..

you don't shoot for 8 hours rest?

[Arnold jr]

you don't shoot for 8 hours rest?

In a perfect world, yes. I do get a nap in though before I train, or at least lie down and shut my eyes for 30-60min.

John, I feel your pain. I work a combination of days & afternoons throughout the week & it sucks (especially because my job can be very stressful at times). Especially when I train on Mondays & Tuesday because I hate training in the evening as well. But you gotta do what you gotta do. I personally prefer training in the morning or early afternoon.

My usual schedule looks like this:
Monday - Evening Training
Tuesday - Evening Training (usually just abs & cardio - if at all)   
Wednesday - Morning Training
Thursday - Morning Training
Friday - OFF (Maybe Cardio)
Saturday - Morning/Afternoon Training
Sunday - Morning/Afternoon Training
