What do you do for a living/career/job?

[Dirtnasty]

I do a 12hr swing shift. 4 nights then 4 days rinse wash repeat. I try to keep the timing the same and work out when I wake up. Thankfully my gym is open 24hr

I stopped working in factories almost 2 decades ago. Went on to be a “door host” nice way of saying bouncer for a well known concert venue while in culinary school, worked in a couple of restaurant kitchens, and for the past decade I’ve been working in utilities 2 years changing out commercial water meters, 1 1/2 years installing devices out of a bucket truck, 1 year as underground lineman, 3 years of installing commercial and residential electric and water meters, and 3 years in a supervisor role currently carrying the worlds weight of stress on my shoulders. Past 2 years not as active as the previous 8-9 because it’s more helping others than doing all the actual physical and currently it’s office and running the show. 5:30am- 6pm+ … currently procrastinating gym time until the dust settles and I know I’m clear to do so. I should also mention I travel all over America usual from one place to another every 3months- 1yr if im lucky in a place i like its the extended time I appreciate.

Terminal Operator, push about 2 million bbl of oil down to the gulf a day. 12-14 hour shifts. 8 on 6 off flipping days to nights. Sleep schedule is completely fucked, hart to eat right with shitty Tex mex food. Have to meal prep a lot. Spent a few thousand on my own weights because the rural health facility only has limited stuff. My main issue is sleep and struggling with my diet. I know what I need to do and I know what I can do but within the past year I’ve mentally just been being a BITCH and I need to man up and get back on the train.

Also if you guys have problems with sleep check out this product call BEAM, it curves my sweet tooth and helps me sleep during the day when I’m on nights. Really good product.

Sleep can be issue tryingto train when working twelves. One thing has to suffer and
That’s usually it. I may try and get a full 14 hours Sunday

Well some of you know, I’m a lawyer and a race engine builder and most recently became the head of my wife’s family business to boot. The lawyer part fits well with working out: it’s an imminently frustrating and overly intellectual job, so working out is just what you need as a counterbalance. Same thing with the wife’s family business. But the engine building is tough to mesh with working out because I do it in concentrated swatches (e.g., 48 hours with 4-6 hours of sleep), and it is very physical because I don’t have any kind of hoist system, so blocks and heads and cranks all get muscled up where they need to go. And I tend not to eat as much or as well as I should during those 48-hour periods. As an example, early last week I weighed in at 225 lbs. thanks primarily to some Anadrol, but after 48 hours in the shop, I was down to 213.

YeH the engine work sounds like it drug binges. I’m sure they are very similar for me in mechanisms of how they work as well

 

[Poppy]

Sounds like your engine building and weight training is your “sabbatical” to life…

 

[herrubermensch]

An interesting comparison, Dirt! I’ll think some more about that.

 

[herrubermensch]

Definitely. My escapes.

 

[Dirtnasty]

I’m just saying when I’m on drugs it becomes a ne track mind of just keep going eating and what not becomes on back burner. If your losing 14 in two days and not really sleeping it’s similar behavior.
