COLLEGE- Is It Possible To Maintain Muscle Mass With A Full Schedule & Full Time Job?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Man, do I remember how hard it was to commute to class and work a full time job... THEN... it was time to workout for 2 hours.. AND THEN! HOMEWORK! Stressed out yet? Don't worry guys, it is possible to maintain and continue to make gains while in school and in this video I talk about how I survived and will give you tips to stay on track whether you live on campus or are a commuter just like I was. I want to see you all succeed and I know you have what it takes to do it! #HTH #SHFAthlete #MuscularStrength #Natty4Life Stringers! MuscularStrength.com/store REAL TIME WORKOUTS!

[@QB.113]

+ScottHermanFitness Damn, this was just the video I needed right now man. Thanks!

[@elleunicum1534]

+ScottHermanFitness Thanks! what to do when there is no energy left for gym due to "just" 7 hours of sleep an constant stress? Currently I go to gym at 5am so that I can go to work more relaxed. After that to university. At night Ive to study or write on my thesis. I notice more and more, that I loose energy for getting up in the morning and feel that I dont regenerate as good as weeks ago without that schedule.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Len Nie haha, ohhh noooooooooooo!!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Christian “ZeFaz” E-O glad to hear that man! Awesome!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+fyee0308 maybe twice a week you should workout from home.. that way you can sleep in and catch up on wha you lost. Have you seen my hardcore 15 minute workouts on www.MuscularStrength.com? They are REAL TIME so we do them together. Check it out! muscularstrength.com/exclusive/weekly-routines

[@NeoGameSpark]

I agree man. I love running when it's stahting to get dahk out too. Best time.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+NeoGameSpark Can't beat it, right?!

[@ColossusFitness]

As soon as you started talking about your poo, i felt that i needed to go as well. Safe to say I spent a solid 20 minutes on the shitter. Thanks Scott!

[@ryanfit787]

+Colossus Fitness LOL i had to go also

[@franklewis4051]

+Colossus Fitness hands down best comment of the year ahaha. true fan!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Colossus Fitness Hahaha this is awesome. At least you were at home - when you need to go on a run, it's not good at all!!!

[@veratexanS]

Just started sophomore year of college and I must say, it's pretty difficult finding time to workout when your at school for 10 hours a day. But no excuses, I'm waking up at 5am and working out Monday-Friday with the power rack in my garage. Totally worth it

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+veratexanS Damn right man!!! proud of you!!!

[@afromusician1]

Probably the realest video out there ! Respect

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+SF K Thanks bro!

[@juanmendez02]

Scott, I've been thinking about this issue for almost two weeks and I was actually so stressed out until I watched your video. Thank you so much for your advices and for sharing your life testimonies, you're the best! Greetings from Colombia.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Juan Camilo Méndez Happy to hear that Juan! I could tell a lot of people were stressing and having lived it I wanted to share my experiences to hopefully help as many of you as I could! If you need more help, don't hesitate to join our community in the forums! www.MuscularStrength.com/forums

[@samuelreed5780]

Scott, Due to some unfortunate circumstances with my roommate, I have been put into to the surprisingly fortunate position to work out on my own and really start taking it seriously. I just wanted to say your videos have been PHENOMENAL in helping me so far with improving my technique. Thank you for explaining everything so concisely and being clear about what to do, it makes a huge difference and explaining the logic makes it all the more easy to understand and implement. You have the whole package man, thanks a lot!

[@rohateanonis4657]

that calf story made me realise something. whenever I do a heavy workout (usually squats) the next day I release the deadliest dry farts I could probably produce

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+rohate anonis haha nice. HArdcore ab workouts make me fart a lot when bloated

[@snop6176]

Damn Scot this video came at the perfect time. I'm feeling all sorts of overwhelmed with school, work, and the gym. I definitely need to implement some more structure and dedicate to it. Thanks man

[@ScottHermanFitness]

[@dwichiesa]

Wish I had known this 7 years ago when I just joined college. Really good insights Scott! Having a full time job, working at different timezone to accommodate clients and colleagues and making constant gains isnt easy. But scheduling, blocking out your time, planning your meal and perseverance is what matters for em gains!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

[@Jpopguin]

+ScottHermanFitness MORE weight?! Are you kidding??!!

[@thestoryiheard]

Great video. Many times in my life I mess with a problem - work or gym. In my opinion - if you have normal schedule at place where you work - you will have time for gym. I spend minimum 2 hours to get to my work every day - traffic gam, angry drivers - all of these gets my strength. But when I am realized that it's now or never - I found time for gym even when I was abroad. All weakness (except medical prescriptions) are in you head. Now I am 25 and I move to my goal - no matter how hard I work (I am an IT guy and yes it's hard). Don't spoil your body. Life is only one.

I'm in college right now, and I'm having trouble carrying my food and everything. What cooler did you use and what did you use to drink water? The school fountain water isn't that great so I just try to bring a big bottle.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

For my cooler.... it was old school.. check it out.. www.google.com/search?q=Vintage+Minimate+Igloo+Cooler+Purple+Green+White+80s+90s+Beach+Lunch+Vintage+Minimate+Igloo+Cooler&biw=1708&bih=780&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0CA0Q_AUoAWoVChMI2eKFiYDpxwIViRU-Ch3yUgLz&dpr=0.8#imgrc=UhfwfKmtRrdMcM%3A

[@TheBoomrazor]

whats a good way of getting your cardio in other then walking up stairs and morning jogs in college

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+James Traore Can you find 15-20 minutes to do some HIIT?

[@abdulisbatman1779]

the SAT part of Scotts story hit home with me. I'm a business student and have always wanted to go to NYU. I was a great student with a 3.9 gpa but my sat was bad with a 1910. 1/3 of nyu business students have a perfect 2400 on their sat so you guys have something to compare to. what set me apart was what i did outside of school work. i founded two clubs at my school that are still going strong. i had a job for two years that dealt with business. i had an internship in my field. that's the stuff college cares about. so if you're worried about sats.. don't be that freaked out. it's just the tip of the iceberg. i did get into NYU but didn't attend. i couldn't pull off the 65000 a year lol

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Abdulisbatman18 sorry you couldnt go, but I bet you proved to yourself that anything is possible with hard work.! Great story of inspiration man!

[@jjjennnnnna]

I HAVE THE SAME CALF PROBLEM!!!! Except it's with number 1, not 2. I also use a scheduler. I can NOT use my phone or laptop calendar. I need to write things down!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+jjjennnnnna hahaha, nice! I wish mine was number 1 :-D

[@themreerste]

Combining is a hard thing to do for many. But once you get the structure in it all pays off.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+themreerste You got that right!

[@nickrunaway2]

Nice vid. How old were you in that magazine photo?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+nickrunaway2 I was about 22!

I always forget that this guy has an accent until it shows up out of nowhere. He can be talking for minutes normally and suddenly a couple words have a strong Boston accent. It's very strange. Great videos though!

[@PakiiiBux]

Big respect to you man I can't believe you did that in college!!! All those haters must be those who you showed ur magazine to!!!

Hey Scott I'm only 14 and a freshman. Only 5'5 and weigh about 120. What exercises and foods do you recommend for me to start getting toned?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Jacob Romero Let's figure out your macros first man. Use my meal planner to get those sorted, and post your results in the forums so we can help you out. Make sure you add info about your routine too :) www.MuscularStrength.com/mealplan

[@adaplexy]

need advice on my fitness. so im 5 11, about 188, wanna be at 170/180 with muscle. should i cut first and try losing those sexy love handles that way then work back up?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Adam Britton Well, there is no such thing as bulking. you are either in shape or fat. So it looks like we need to break down your meal plan and maybe add a few days of HIIT cardio to your routine. Make a profile on my site and post your current daily routine as well as your macros. Once you do, we can help you better structure everything so you lose the love handles! Oh yeah!!!! www.MuscularStrength.com/forums

[@Zeriver]

How much did you sleep? 6-8 hours?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Zeriver I tried to :)

[@teamm4]

Even if I'm only getting 5 hours of sleep a night 4 days a week. Do you think it'd be smart to still go heavy on my compound lifts. Ever since college and work started. I noticed I've lost a lot of weight and my weights have gone down in the gym. I work 40 hours a week and go to school 4 days a week and go to the gym 2-4 days a week depending on homework

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+teamm4 As long as you are eating well, you can probably still go heavy. Even if it isn't as heavy as you know you can go, you can still push it hard with the energy you have.

[@teamm4]

+ScottHermanFitness thanks man, appreciate it. I've lost about 15 pounds since around July and I want to get my weight back up but am not sure how much calories I am actually burning. No matter how much I eat. I can't seem to gain any weight. I've never had this problem before. Usually I could never lose it

[@davveinjr]

What would you recommend for someone who is a full time student, part time worker, plays Lacrosse for the university, and commutes about an hour one way to the school/work? Does anything change?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+David Stephanoff What do you mean what do I recommend? Can you be more specific?

[@davveinjr]

+ScottHermanFitness Now that I look at it, I definitely was way too vague with the question. I meant more in relation to the video. Having a full day of work/school/homework/commuting is definitely a lot to handle while still trying to hit the gym, but throw in the extra days of practicing for the team with hard conditioning makes me feel like I'm going to burn out very quickly if I'm also hitting the gym with the mentality of gaining mass. Am I right in feeling this way, or will it get easier as the semester progresses? Especially from a scheduling perspective.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Ok much better. I think the biggest thing that needs to be addressed first is your meal plan. What are your daily macros? If you are not eating enough. Lacross and the gym might be too much

[@davveinjr]

During the season, I try to have my daily macros be 550 carbs, 140 protein, 103 fat. However, I don't hit that many carbs too often and find myself somewhere down in the 300s quite regularly. If it helps, I'm 5'10" and weigh 170lbs right now.

[@ThePirateburke86]

Why is there an add for Six Pack Short Cuts before this video?

[@ReefingRyan]

I like this it's relevant to me.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Ryan Montgomery I hope it helps man. I remember the college struggle. It can get tough

[@9Brian7]

It might be stupid but quick question, when u eat ur food, how do u manage to find a microwave in that short amount of time? Btw great vid 👍🏻

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+9Brian7 You don't... you eat it cold brotha! haha.. The things we do for gains!

[@Itsjimmybud]

I started school at Salem state last week and I work 42 hours a week as the assistant manager at planet fitness, so far it's eh, but I can tell it's going to be taxing. I've only hit the gym probably 2 times since school started. How much is too much?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+sbaio1116 what, workouts? As long as you have balance. It is never too much! You got this man!

[@Itsjimmybud]

no i mean how much on your plate at once is too much lol, 42 hours a week, full time student, so on

[@nottanyne]

I try tot eat a lot to get my protein in but I get stuffed and don't end up finishing it. What can I do to make sure when I max out my work out, I max out my intake of foods?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Reginald Johnson Do you spread your meals throughout the day?

[@nottanyne]

Yes i do. I have containers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

[@nottanyne]

And my university professors dont let me take my tupperware to eat during class lol I wish.

[@zemphyre]

Tips on how to get leaner legs? I always went biking alot as a kid so now I'm 18 with big legs but I'm only 5'6 so my legs look kind of stubby because of my height.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+zemphyre It's just bodyfat. Do you do total body workouts? I am uploading a new 15 minute INTENSE real time workout every wednesday! Check them out! I did a lower body one last week. They are all geared toward shredding calories! muscularstrength.com/exclusive/weekly-routines

[@zemphyre]

+ScottHermanFitness I go to the gym 5 days a week and do one body part each day. Last time I had a full body workout was when I wrestled in high school

[@Ornches]

Yeah my time management was shit. Hopefully I get that together next quarter

[@Ornches]

Art school man.... I need to figure out how to schedule. Sometimes 5 hours for work.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+TwiiZoH I know you can bro! You got this!

[@Ornches]

+ScottHermanFitness LETS GET IT!!!!! I will plan ahead

[@Xarmulous]

Back when I was in high school on the wrestling team, there was a day when we were doing suicide hill sprints before practice. During these runs, I had to take a dump really bad. For several minutes I was trying to decide to do run to the gas station close by and take care of business or run back to the school and use the yucky bathrooms there. My glutes told me to take the secret option #3: run home, crap there, come back, and pretend you were sprinting the whole time. Luckily I lived 5 minutes away, so I did it. My coach knew what I did and didn't bust me until the end of practice. Just as I thought I was gonna get away with this, my coach called me out and kicked my ass in front of the team. -_- I had the will to succeed...in getting my ass kicked by my coach.

[@troyvincent8933]

Haha shit. that's crazy. wrestling is one physically and mentally demanding sport. have to be tough and disciplined

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Xarmulous Haha damn man, maybe you should have squeezed your glutes and held it in! haha

[@ulisesventura1212]

I'm a full time student at the University of Arizona, and I'm still making all kinds of gains!! But it may get hard to do all, especially during midterms.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

[@LGH27]

Exact struggles of a commuter student who works! I'm just starting my sophomore year. Maybe I should invest in a cooler haha

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Lily H haha yeah Lily! Get that cooler!

[@tarasilchyshyn4851]

What i have to do, if l hadn't a lot of money but i need to eat a lot?)

[@Darkshadow7827]

An app? Oh thank god. I check the site on occasion during my lunch break. It's hard as hell to navigate using whatever browser on my phone. I actually miss my college gym. There were less ego lifters at my previous college gym compared to the gym I go to now. Also, I feel like high school was more about busy work. I don't remember half the stuff I learned in high school. College and grad school had more useful information; the amount of work given isn't as bad either. Once you have a steady job, it's not hard at all to find time to train... depending on the job I guess.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Darkshadow7827 yeah man. This app... is AMAZING! It makes the user experience 100x better. the site is just too big for a web app. and I feel the same way. HIghschool was not a challenge and to be honest I wish I wasn't forced to take half of the college courses I had to take as well. We can always find time to get the job done. Especially if we turn the TV off! haha

[@OkayTimeToGoNow]

Pause the video periodically as he speaks. He pulls the funniest faces. You're welcome for the lols

[@Jeff97Aeris]

Well that's an efficient use of time.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

[@sharpreet777]

bro i just have normally 6 hours for sleep, i do workout 5 days in a week .. does it affect me

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Harpreet Singh Maybe Harpreet. You always want to get as much sleep as possible, and when you don't get enough, it can affect you. Make sure your meal plan is on point though! www.MuscularStrength.com/mealplan

[@hardcorebarbell]

I have a friend at a well know Tech School going for EE. It's not a joke. Oh and he's also married with a newborn. Has to love with in-laws. Thankfully got a full scholarship for tuition and books, but food and vehicle he's on his own. School all day, study all night, with wife+baby.. Dude has no time. I do admire HIS dedication though. Everyone talking shit about how bad do you want it? How bad do you want to graduate a prestigious university with an esteemed degree in engineering, not to mention support a wife and child. How bad do you want an actual successful life. Because with cases like my friend, you can't focus on your looks in the mirror. Dude eats stupid clean and healthy, stays lean, that's not a problem. But weights and routines? Not possible. Most of the guys reading this probably have no idea how tough/impossible it can be to live that life, unless you run on 3 hours of sleep. And most dudes are out working out, to get a girl, men's respect or admiration, or feel more secure about themselves. No one reading this HAS to work out to live, and HAS to lift weights to be successful. And before the whole "I'd rather die blah blah bull shit" stfu, no you wouldn't and if you would, don't deserve to live anyway. I promise this world wouldn't miss one more narcissistic or one more douche slingings weights around. I'm certain your quest for lifting weights isn't really helping anyone unless you're some phenomenal weightlifting champion, strongman, or PL. I've lived the hardcore gym life, I ate, slept and breathed it. My name is fucking hardcorebarbell on here and I've had this name for years and years. It's the name of the PL gym I went to. And before you talk shit, I'm no fat powerlifter either, back the fuck off the bullshit. All I'm saying is to do what my friend does EE, wife, kid AND serious gains, not possible. come at me!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+hardcorebarbell No-one ever said life was easy bro. Yeah I guess it depends what you are doing and what your life situation is, but from what you have said, this guy is making gains anyway, regardless of the fact whether he has time for the gym or not.

[@MrAnji1995]

How old is Scott again?

Did you drink at college? If so, how regularly?

one thing that always annoyed me in college was when i would miss a class and the teacher would say its not good you can't do that in life in your job. well no shit. job and class is completely different, also considering im paying tuition which essentially pays the professor . that being said, since my classes in arch. were heavily computer program nad book based. i'd just binge work and get shit done then hand it in and miss class since i was done w/ stuff. too bad back then i used the free time ot party rather than be productive and workout. scheduling for some people is key. good recomendation on the book, i myself didn't need one, but i knew a few people who would have found it really handy. yeah, people gotta ignore the negative people. they claim college is more mature, but i found college to have just as many immature snots as high shcool.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+PIXART Gaming Poops getting in the way of gains - not good! haha. Thanks bro!

[@pixartgaming5267]

You have a blessed weekend bro! And yes poops always in the way if making gains is bad lol for me as well I feel like when I have to take a break becomes of that, I lose my edge too and my pump slows down and I'm like "nooooo!" :)

[@pixartgaming5267]

I also have a question... my triceps when I work out I can feel major contractions when I lift heavy. But when I work biceps doing heavy work load I can't feel contractions on them, only on forearm :( . When I lift light I can feel them contracted. .. I know lifting heavy helps grow arms but what should I do for biceps to help grow and feel contractions at the same time.

[@jManraM]

dude is in crazy shape. I bet he can blow past SEAL Fit!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+jManraM Thanks bro! Means a lot!

[@jManraM]

You should definitely try the challenge at SEAL Fit Kokoro Camp. I'm under construction right now lol but I'm looking forward to giving it a try sometime in the future.

[@farisadlin]

why are you working for 2 hours? is it not too long?

[@jeroen0011]

when i started i also did 'too long workouts' where u can have more damage and a little more gains, but it doesn't really mather as long as u don't have an awesome personal schedule. once u have that, a1 hour work out is really the max. u should do to get optimal gains. Some good cardio after that is great tho

[@ScottHermanFitness]

To be honest. The gym is therapeutic. Being there for two hours was a combination of training and getting some time to vent and chill

[@dimitrimoraitis5337]

No shit I live in mass to! North shore

[@McBurger29]

Adrenaline poops

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Breyden Burger lolol thats a great word for it!

[@McBurger29]

Yea had to think about something creative before school tomorrow. Also with people capability with stress, I beleive it will definitely affect though workout goals. Sometimes the drive for the gym is demolished under stress for full time students with work. I think going for a run before bed or in the morning after you wake up is possible but so many variables that go though your head before hitting the gym. I think its about setting goals and not chewing off more than you can chew. Also knowing exactly what your planning on hitting before the gym and how to fully make use of the time you have. I know with me thats my biggest issue. Mentally exhausted from stress will definitely take the drive away but school is a must.

[@Nirrr1000]

Wait what was the end of the poop story!? You can't leave us hanging like that!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Haha i made it home to poop! So if you think you lack the will power and determination to stay focused during college.. go run 3 miles while hedgehoggin a turd and prove to yourself that you have the will power to do anything! :-D

[@rumesh_lance]

problem with eating in the classroom is then you gonna have it eat ur food cold, otherwise great time saver.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Rumesh Lance hey man.. I ate cold food for 4 years... Then I won best abs on the east coast. was worth it. :-D

[@X3GibbleX3]

This is my fucking dilema right here. thank you for the video

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+luis vargas You are very welcome man! Dont stress! You got this and we will help! #HTH

[@GraaY94]

Maybe its a US thing eating in class is weird, there was never a day people weren't eating in my classes! If I was eating it would keep me awake! Plus it would give me a longer lunchbreak to hit the gym :P

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+GraaY94 you got to do it man! its the only way to get the food in when your schedule is crazy!

[@GraaY94]

Who doesn't like eating too right? Haha
