I’m a heavy equipment field mechanic and I can work anywhere from 40-70 hours a week. I found what works best for me is training be for work. So I’m up at 4 am and train for about an hour and 15 minutes and then get to work. I do a 4 day split (2 uppers, 2 lowers) and 2 of those days I do on the weekends so I can sleep a little more during the week. So Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday is what I find works best for me. I work Saturdays her and there but I still just train before my shift. I still compete in powerlifting as well. It’s really hard to keep up with it and still come home and be with my family in the evenings but I still manage to pull it off. A lot of it comes down to will power and time management though. Something as simple as laying your clothes out for the next day having meals prepped and ready to go helps tremendously. SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS.

Ive been doing the same for years. Wake up 5am, start to lift at 6am and at 8am i was at work. But to be honest, atleast for me some days were extremely heavy because i had pushed the shit out of me at the gym and after lunch i felt like i would fall asleep no matter of what. My son came to the world at 2022 winter and i was lifting 4 times/week and waking up 5am with not enough of sleep and then going to work. It was hard but luckily its much easier nowadays.

I got my best gains when I was working in a metal welding company. My main task was lifting steel beams, helping the welders to do their job, etc. I was working 8 to 5, 5 days a week. I was running a 5 day split. I would go straight to the gym after work. Had to make some occasional adjustments, for example lift less weight on deadlifts or skip gripwork for that day, if I already "did some sets" at work. Otherwise - It was great. My working capacity also greatly increased. I'm writing this for all of you working guys. It is possible. You are gonna make it. :)

[@jamescousins4674]

I work 12 hours a day 2 hours of that is travel for work in an unpredictable schedule week to week and have 6 kids at home, before the kids came along I trained 2 hours plus a session 6-7 days a week . Since then I started to realise I didn't have as much time to train everyday so I took a step back and set up a completely new split cut my training days down to 4 days per week with 1-1.5 hours per session. I'm not perfect either I miss days, life happens then have to make up for it on other days. Just don't miss too many consecutive days. The key is 1. Train around work, if you work a late shift train in the morning, if you work an early shift train after work. If you work on call and don't know whether you're working or not, get to the gym as early as you can before that phone rings! 2. Train on weekends. 2 of my sessions are on the weekend which means I'm always guaranteed to train. And you need to train before everyone wakes up, this way you have no interruptions and get the most out of your training. Given that you get enough sleep the night before. 3. Supersets. Supersetting will cut your gym time in almost half, (and it's great for conditioning). Squats and OHP, Deadlift and Bench, Back and Bench, bis and tris whatever it is superset as much as you can, unless it's a Max effort day then take the rest between sets needed. 4. And of course a great partner, I definitely cannot accomplish any of these things without my partner in crime, me and her train at different times so that one of us Is home with the kids while the other is out busting there ass off!

Alex... do one for the weekend warriors... I have all the time in the weekend but not on weekdays..

[@strengthcircus]

Not Alex, but having played with a lot of different training styles before, I think if you can only get in the gym Saturdays/Sundays AND you have a lot of time, you should consider doing something like conjugate Max Effort (ME) days on those two days. E.g. Saturday would be ME Squat variation, Sunday would be ME bench variation. Backoff sets after the top single, and then appropriate accessories. You should try to be somewhat active during the week, like on wednesday do a light pump workout at home, basically active recovery, just to force blood through the muscles/joints to prepare for the next weekend. If you're like me and workout at a commerical gym without any kind of specialty equipment, I basically use 5/3/1 to approximate this by working up to a single at my training max, followed by the AMRAP weight for that week, and then either another AMRAP at the first set last weight or sets across.

[@aparthia]

I have an irregular schedule, I wouldn't use an upper / lower split, but instead a full-body A/B split. That means I get to workout the entire body more often whereas upper / lower could have me train each body part only once. A splits: Deadlift and Overhead Press, quads, chest and back B pslits: Squats and Bench Press, hams, shoulders and back. I'd alternate heavy and light for each so heavy deadlifts (5x5) meant light overhead presses (3x10). Then shit like 3 sets of 12-15 reps for assistance.

531 bench and deadlift for two workouts a week was good and only needed 20 minutes ish

[@HooDRidEWhiteY]

531 is the goat for busy dads with real jobs. I just bought an Alshrue program and im having to take vacation time from work just to sleep and recover YMMV.

Reverse pyramid worked well for me and generally only needed about 45 minutes, so 20 minutes more, but did it’s job.

I went to swingshift so I could get my sleep and plenty of workout time before work. I didnt want to do shit working dayshift/graveyards.

I used to work at a gym and they would let me lift when I finished everything that needed to be done. I wasn't as focused because I was there all day and was going backwards. Then I left the gym working 6 hour days. To working 10 hours a day at a harder job. Then lifting 4 days a week instead of 6. And my results are much better and my splits changed.

Any tips to increase my appetite?

I love your content

[@anti_hero_660]

I found myself using very similar ideas with one or two exercises for the week focusing on technique and specific rep range, hitting top set dropping for some volume also like vaping a little sativa as it loosens me up Very interested in the programs you offered will be looking at it soon!

25-30 years ago,autoregulstion was also called instinctive training.

[@kenrickbautista6141]

I ended up going to the gym twice a week because of my work schedule. I mean, I do sometimes workout at home whenever I have free time, but I really miss my motivation of going to the gym every day.

I'm a long distance runner. With a hectic work schedule.

[@BaldOmniMan]

That point that you make about doing enough of the lift you’re trying to train vs accessories is a tidbit that even lifters with more free time need to take in mind. Too many people ask questions like “what accessory should I use?” When in actuality they just need to do more quality work on the basics
