I used to, for 2 summers. I would lift a couple times after work a week and then one big day on weekends
Black person why are you working a 12 hour job in the first place if you don't hate yourself?
worked in nuclear power for a decade - I've since semi-retired and gone fully remote.
13 hour days, swing shifts (now those will frick you up long term), the works.
We did, more or less, 3 days on, then a swing to nights, 3 nights on, swing back, etc. Every 5 weeks there was a period of 5 days off and another with 7 days off - so I took lots of mini-vacations.
Yes, I still found time to lift. We actually had a gym on site - really well equipped, so a lot of my crew worked out with me before we took the shift.
It was a little harder during outages - when I was in engineering it was 6 days on, 1 day off, for anywhere from 30 to 100 days. Great money, but horrible for the body. I just dropped my lifts tremendously and did a cut every outage. Worked out pretty well. Once I moved to Operations, the Feds limit you to basically 5 days on, 2 days off, which wasn't so bad.
not him, but I did it for the money. I was semi-retired by 33 and plan to be fully retired by 40. Right now I just do remote consulting type stuff.
>on a cargo ship.
I was gonna say frick that noise, but I see you said you're on the great lakes - I was on a freighter once as a guest - just a short trip from Cleveland to Ashtabula.
I know that the navy has free weights on carriers, because they barely move, but I've been on some pretty small vessels and they didn't move too much in calm seas. Cargo ships are really big and heavy. (Almost went maritime engineering, I enjoy sailing, glad I went nuke.)
Was a firefighter through college - they gave students from the college free rooms. You didn't have to run calls within so many hours of when your classes started, stuff like that.
Didn't pay, because it was technically volunteer, but it did go into a pension system, so I actually will get a (laughably) small pension when I turn 62 and I'll be eligible for to buy into the retirement healthcare at a great discount.
I'm a lawyer with my own firm.
In my late 20's free time was a concept. Having my own firm as a fresh graduate meant that I was basically working 24/7, but I had an ego and didn't want to work for someone else. Luckily my wife was working marketing and finance, so we helped each other out.
I still remember waking up in the middle of the night with her, doing a workout together and playing minecraft for an hour and then spending hours on paperwork before going to work. Fun times. But you have to be really hungry for success and mentally ill to succeed that way.
I remember being very bitter and jaded when I first tried to get into the job market after graduating and all I could get were slave labor offers for wages that could barely cover rent and food.
These days I work 40 - 50 hours and I wouldn't go back.
>fit lawyer with own firm right out of law school with a rich wife as well
Another fit classic
>rich wife
She doesn't work anymore and we're not rich, we're just cruising comfortably at this point because we got no kids.
There's barely any lawyers on IST, the major is hard and the job market is cutthroat.
>no kids
Bro… what was all the hard work for? All your labours will follow you to the grave.
I'm only 32, I'm planning on having kids within the next few years.
capitalism
Mulatta futurism?
i work 6 weeks at a time on a cargo ship. 7 days a week 12 hours a day then i get 3 weeks off.
theres a pretty nice gym on the ship but pretty much no one uses it cuz we're all too fricking tired
>6 weeks at a time on cargo ship
>7 days a week 12 hours a day
>we're all too fricking tired
literally 18th century Black folk
What if you're squatting when there's a wave and you fall over?
Most likely the ship does not have free weights.
Sounds kinda neat. How much does it pay? What region?
he is either filipino or middle eastern or eastern european, all cargo personnel are
im canadian. my current pay is $450 a day
we sail all over the great lakes region. usually sault ste marie to duluth
I was just at Sault Ste Marie last weekend. The burger side anyway. Lovely place
What is with this place and yoopers?
Im a wisconsinite, I was passing through the yoop to get home from the LP
Name of the company?
same. i'm forcing myself to go 3 times a week just to keep my mental sanity though
That still averages out to about 54 hrs a week over the 9 week period. Hoping your at the very least making close to six figs, if not more.
I work on oil rigs and I can't stand doing more than 4 weeks on 4 weeks off. Business is booming so I guarantee you can find yourself a job on another vessel/company with a better schedule. 6 on 3 off is just inhumane.
That said, I still workout 5 times a week after a 12 hour shift.
homie got beef with spoonkid
Yeah you go to the gym on your off days. I did it for a while.
Imagine being a dumb wagie in 2023 and having to deal with these possessed normies (ticker: DEMONOIDS)
Even driving to work becomes a nightmare as the roads are filled with roadrage wagies ready to fight you for the lane mad max style.
Yes.
I get up at 6:15 every day to hit the gym before work.
On the very rare occasion I sleep in, I’ll do a 5-10km run when I finish work for the day. I can crank out 5k in 23 minutes or 10k in 55 minutes.
>Anybody here work 12+ hour job
Im not fricking moronic lol
My wife and I both work 12+ hours pretty regularly, but we do it because our income is $600K, likely going up to ~$750K next year.
We will be able to retire at 34 and 31
No one cares stop posting this
brother the thread is literally about people who work 12+ hour days and we’re having a conversation here about whether or not 12 hour days can be worth it.
No one asked your salary
Mo
It’s $600K combined, maybe going as high as $750K next year depending on promotions/bonuses.
>No one asked your salary
>Post it again anyways
Based bragger
You work hard for these dollars so keep announcing your income loud and clear in this godforsaken board
You're jealous
This is probably the 10th time I see you posting this shit and people still ignore or make fun of you. Imagine trying to flex this on IST out of all places lmao, what a dumb wagecuck.
Funny to call someone a wagecuck when they are soon to be free from the obligation of working for pay ever again. In their early 30s.
I almost fell for that meme. If you succeed then fair play but all I could think about when I was working all day was about how fragile life is. I could get to the final day of waging before retiring and some zoomer roastie on her phone behind the wheel could obliterate me, or I could randomly get cancer, or stabbed by a Black person etc. Point is, I hope all the outrageous amount of work during your peak years was worth it. Now I just do something I love for (currently) frick all money and wake up everyday happy and enthusiastic for life, something I never had during wageslaving. All I could think about was how much I had enslaved myself to currency, when I barely even need any currency to survive anyway.
Your wife before then, I’ve put a hex on you.
yeah and i use the extra funds to see escorts on the weekend to have some fun lol
12 hours? That's less than 3 per day.
Yeah, when I was in the military. I could only go every other day or risk losing too much sleep. I had more time on the rare occasions I meal prepped during the weekend.
yes, plus I'm in school, gym 6 days a week. I wouldn't say I have a ton of time for myself but if I never doomscrolled on social media or IST or let myself consider that relaxing than perhaps I would
When I was a medic it was fine and depending on where I was stationed there was a decent gym so I was able to lift on my downtime during shift if the tones didn't go off.
Now I work a comfy lab job and don't have to work like a Black person and still have tons of time to do shit.
I probably only work 25-30 hours a week and make 2x as what I did as a medic. lol
i need sauce looks like my egyptian ex gf
Both my jobs let me lift during work hours. I actually go to my second job in the morning to work out then shower at my first jobs gym. During lunch I work out at my first job, then go to my second job and work out. Leave home at 630am get home at 830pm
here
I was reading the thread and people were making fun of 12 hour shifts. I work two jobs because no children and my partner works late. She’ll come home and still work. I hate being home not doing anything, I pick that extra shift. It’s easy work.
So when do you eat lunch
>mfw literally everyone on IST has a super high paying job and always also are or go fully remote with
really incredible
And everyone on IST has an 8+ inch dick (measured from the butthole).
Everyone knows 99% of these posts are LARPs and daydreams, since only 10% of the US population is making 100k+ a year and it's definitely not a bunch of NEETs spending their whole days on IST.
I’m an English literature student and I have no plans to get a job. I just want to spend my days reading books, working out, and listening to classical music. Call it a cope but I don’t care too much about money anymore
Ok no one asked
I used to have a high paying job, now I'm fully remote - but at half the rate.
Notice how many high-pay jobs are filled by autists and people who are obviously fit?
I'm so glad I didn't go into patent law - they were really trying to push engineers into that. No doubt the pay was great, but everyone I talked to seemed really unhappy. Turns out that engineers who end up with JDs do the most boring of shit.
You understand that probably 50% of lawyers start their own one-man firm within a decade, right? Look at any law office, one lawyer, a bunch of paralegals, a few secretaries. It's almost standard practice. Like when engineers start their own companies and consult by their 40s.
>but everyone I talked to seemed really unhappy
Jobs within law are tedious and demanding, so if writing papers, talking to clients, arguing with people and solving problems for other people isn't your thing, law will only make you miserable.
Patent law and copyright law are especially tedious because the terminology and regulations are at the same time very strict and very lax, so there's enough wiggle room to have disputes that go on for years, especially if a case hits the international sphere - then it's a whole new bundle of bullshit.
Personally, I like my field of work because I enjoy sitting with my face in a bunch of documents and writing papers that actually lead to something, and after spending years on IST I also got to like arguing with people for the sake of arguing.
Yeah I used to put in 60-80 hour weeks.
At the time I did upper lowers cut the rest times and super set accessories, apparently it causes better mtor signaling or something like that. Because I was still making gains on it despite being drunk almost every hour I had to myself.
I had a job just doing three 12’s in a row driving a forklift. Had 4 days off every week. Shit was cash but the beaners ruined it wanting OT.
I would have sex with her, if you know what I mean
>still have time for themselves
What, are you a woman?
who is she
Sonia
>me
EMT
I work 2 12s and a 16
I follow an upper/lower split and workout every single day I'm off
workdays are about work and then sleep
>gf
She's a nurse
She works 3 12s
She also works out 4 days/week
we both have 2 days off together. On the days when one works and the other doesn't, one has the responsibility to make dinner for the other. It's a simple life and I'm very happy.
nice you made it anon
>pic related is me
>physically demanding job
>work 14 hours a day on weekdays
>work 8 hours a day on weekends
>haven’t had a single day off in 2 years
>eat nothing but junk food I order to work and sweets and shit but slam down a 4 scoop shake erryday
>lift heavy with no structured programs two days back to back on weekends after work, followed by abusing alcohol and cocaine all night while I party
I have to get back to work so I won’t reply, but once you kill the little b***h inside you can do anything.
it's very difficult, I used to do 1 long day a week and it'd leave me exhausted. best thing to do is try to eat properly during your shift and hit the gym before you get home
I would work a 12+ hour job for her.
I work 12 hour days, wake up at 3 am to get ready and workout at 3:30 am til 5:30 am. I have a wife and 2 kids and make time for them afterwards. The one thing that lacks in my schedule is enough sleep. I sleep 5-6 hours a night
Lmao
Bro my workouts take 15 minutes hahahaha imagine using 2 hours A DAY
I don’t have to imagine it, that’s what I do every day that I workout
I work at usps an during peak season I hit 12 hours consistently. I am beyond tired and have zero motivation to work out. I routinely hit 30k+ steps during Christmas every day.
Also I don’t make that much, I cleared 80k last year. Base is almost 70k
i work 5 hours days 4 days a week make 70k. my house is payed off. i bench 3 plates for 4 or 5 depending on sleep. my next door neighbor is one of my fwbs. its super convenient and she's cool with it says she doesn't want to date me cause i'm too into myself. i could do more to make more money but i enjoy my time with my buddies and dog and the girls i hang out with.
>Anybody here work 12+ hour job and still have time for themselves and to do IST shit
Starting fresh this week with a 12 hours shift wages more or less full week , don't know how I will handle it but pretty much about the 'time for myself" I had to give up on that....
>pic related is pure garbage
I so much like her look....like if I saw someone with that look carrying some bottle of wine on the street.... ITS OVER!
>working 12 hours a day
literal slave-life wtf are you doing
If you work 12 hour shifts you should get 3-4 days a week off.
