Working bros, how do you do it?

>Wake up and get ready for work Inc breakfast 0530-0600
>Leave for work 0600-0610, arrive to start at 0700 (commute takes average 45 min, can be longer or shorter)
>work 0700-1500
>leave work, in gym by 1600
>gym 1600-1730 (ish, including warm up and stretching after and some cardio)
>shower etc, home by around 1800, have already premade batches of food on Sundays so just have to reheat dinner. Have eaten, showered etc by 1830.
>in order to get eight hours sleep I need to be in bed by half 9, giving me three hours to be with my girlfriend, do hobbies, etc.

How many times a week do you go to the gym? Do you do anything else? What routine/split are you on?

    Dude I work in roofing, and start at 7 in summer and 8 in the winter, waking up at 5:30-6:30. If I can squeeze in a workout either before going to work, or after - then you can to. You probably don't have enough motivation.

      I get the workouts in, and I love doing them. Motivation isn't the issue here, it's having a life outside of work and gym. I specifically posted my typical workout time too.

      Yeah it's the commute that's killing me I think. Loosing almost 2 hours a day. I am currently in a contracting mostly site based role, if I get a permanent position I'll be moving to within 30 mins tops of the work location.

          Maybe it's the type of work that specifically attracts that sort of buttholes, but all wfh c**ts are generally just a bunch of little b***hes. I'd love to be proven wrong one day. Just like software engineer/IT/programmer types, they're all a bunch of moronic headless chickens, I've never met a full grown adult man who is a software engineer, I can spot those little c**ts in any crowded space, they're all the same stupid ass phenotype I swear to god

              It's pure hypocrisy for as long as I will have a screen in front of my face, but I hate absolutely everything that had to do with tech, computers, software, apps, phones, screens and tablets.
              Again, I'm a hypocrite. I'm having a screen in front of my face all day long and I'm basically a YouTube addict, but to say that I love this shit would be a lie. I'm trapped, I know and I hate it. If I could snap my fingers all this tech shit would be gone tomorrow, I know I'm a hypocrite.

              I'm basically Gollum and the internet is my Ring. I know it causes me harm and great unrest, I know it ruins my soul and sucks me dry of any real, tangible joy. I hate it all with all my being, AND YET I can't get enough of it. It's my precious, I'm addicted, I can't live without it, I'm cradling my fricking phone as I fall asleep with it in my bed. I hate this existence more than you can imagine and if I had an ounce more courage and resources, I'd destroy the Internet and wirelessness in a heartbeat.

                same with me. im completely addicted to all tech/internet stuff but wasnt smart enough to do anything with it that would land me top tech jobs. but still, everything i see coming out of the tech industry makes the workers and companies seem completely insufferable

                i wonder if the ones who are complaining about one set of circumstances are perhaps not the exact same people as the ones complaining about the opposite set of circumstances.

                maybe so, i didnt poll individual tech workers. but deserved or not i just really dont like how i see tech workers projected. they seem horrible.

    30 mins in and out of the gym doing full body 4x a week, 5 exercises per day and I superset everything for 3-4 sets except the first main lift that I’m focusing on. Gets me 8-12 sets on all muscle groups per week (well within recommended bodybuilding volume) and I’m never sore (I dont have a day where I’m annihilating just one muscle group).

    I have time and energy to do other sports I love + a fairly active dating / social life after a 9hr work day with a long ish commute

      What's your routine? Don't want to sound like a c**t but 30 mins full body seems like a lie. What are your lifts and what were they 3 and 6 months ago?

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        The only reason I can fit it in 30 mins is because its full body, I dont need a lot of rest time between exercises because they’re all different, unlike say bench then OHP then incline. I also plan out my exercises where the equipment would be near each other to superset and have a good likelihood of being available. I dont really care about chosing optimal exercises that much

        First lift is 531, 3rd and 4th are compounds that hit completely different muscle groups from the first (say I did squats/legs first, then Id do a pull supersetted with a push) for bodybuilding rep ranges. 4th and 5th are accessories

        I dont care about progressing fast in lifts since CNS fatigue is a b***h but In 5 ish months
        Bench 155x5 to 180x5
        Squat 245x5 to 315x1 (tested max with gymbros for lulz)
        Deadlift 335x1 to 375x3
        Same bodyweight (155lb lean manlet) but have better definition and about a half inch more arm

    7 am is rough, I usually work 8 to about 5. Best advice I can give is doing cardio on your off days and shortening your time in the gym. If you leave your phone in the car, set a stopwatch and stick to strict two minute rests between sets, you should be able to get all the work done for the day within 30-45 minutes if you’re lifting 3-4 times a week. Sucks not having music without your phone but personally it just makes me want to get in, work, and get out even faster.

      I have a few options. I can do 6-2, 7-3, or 8-4. It doesn't really matter though as I will just end up having to go to bed earlier or later, my free time remains the same, 7-3 is a nice medium between easy road traffic and getting into the gym right before it gets busy (tend to leave as it hits peak). I ordered a small stopwatch yesterday to time my rest, I am looking at building a Spotify-only streaming device out of a pi and a 3d printed case.

      Solves all the problems. Stop being poor.

      My job pays really well (85th percentile before the generous overtime agreements), and while I could get away with a day of wfh (and do) the role is almost entirely site based - I'm a power station chemist which involved contractor engagement, menial lab tasks, method validation, plant and instrument troubleshooting, safety tasks etc. The ultimate plan is to get into patent writing though but I need to finish my PhD for that, it was always more of a retirement plan.

    Following pd mangan and ted naiman's lead, I switched to doing high-intensity sets of calisthenics. So maybe 1-2 sets of pushups and 1-2 sets of pullups each set to screaming failure (left breathless, can barely move muscle groups involved) in the morning- then follow up with a feeder workout after work.

    However being a wageslave is fricking gay so I built a freelance business and I'm putting in my notice tomorrow so I can workout during the middle of the day like an unrepentant chad and use real weights.

    I "work" from home, meaning i do maybe 4 hours of work a day, less if i can dodge the fricking meetings. I skip breakfast and don't commute so I can sleep in until basically 9, giving me more time in the evenings. I usually workout around noon, take lunch, then power through whatever i was supposed to do that day before dinner, giving me the evening for friends/family/hobbies/etc. I try and workout 6 days a week, take the lords day for a rest, but i usually end up doing less.take your education seriously kids, you get to be a corporate neet like me if you play your cards right

    It's not the most free time I've ever had in my life, but it isn't terrible. I find that if you feel like you don't have enough time in the day, that's when you should start cutting screen time. It's hard to do but you don't miss it after a while. I've relapsed lately but not browsing the internet will seriously open up time for you. I feel like I still have sufficient time for my hobbies between my off hours and weekend. Also, sadly having a commute will absolutely timefrick you and if at all possible do everything you can to get rid of it.
