long/tiring job hours and lifting....
how many of u have jobs of long and physical hours at job and still manage to workout?? im about to start construction again next week and im happy about the money, but its 5-6 days a week @10 hours a day of doing labor outside in average of 80-90 degree weather which seems to really **** up my training. i get home and all have 0 energy at all. my training was slacking real bad anyway before this due to me being completely broke and ****ing up ankle. for the past week and a half ive had no protein powder, and hardly any money for food. as of next week once i start this job ill have money now, but basically gonna be drainined by the time i get home, anybody got any advice or been through similiar type of situation?? ?

taking energy pills was the only way i was making it through 12 hour days and lifting before work. lots of clean food to get you through the day without going catabolic. i tended to go hypoglycemic really fast when i was doing that. now i work at a desk all day.

I'm in the same situation , only time i get a break from the heat is when i drive from one job to another in my work van. It sucks sweating all day and being in that 90 degree heat all the time. Only thing that seems to really help me is to stay hydrated at all times and make sure your eating enough during the day. Do you ever get sick to your stomach or have loss of appetite because of the heat?

Funny , i was just thinking about this . I'm laid off from my normal job , so i been installing furnaces and air-conditioning for a company ......well I hardly ever take a lunch break , work 10+ hours a day....wich half the time can be in an attic thats 130+ degree's .
I havent been to the gym in a month.....and i bet i wont the rest of the summer , gaining alot of fat on my stomach...feeling like im shrinking everywhere else.....but i still must look ok because they call me roid boy .
Guess im just gonna enjoy the summer on my new boat....and hit the gym hardcore after summer....
I said i was done with juice....but what the hell , 1 more cycle .

What sux about my job is you have to work in all types of conditions, if its tornado like weather we still work, if its a blizzard out we still work, if its 100 bazillion degrees outside we still work. I dont mind it much because i get free cable/internet/ and pay 20 bucks for phone and month and I get a work van and they pay for all my gas and I get to take the van home and I never have supervisors looking over my shoulder.

I always seem to get headaches when its super hot and sunny outside, I dont know if its the heat or the sun being super bright. One day I sweat so bad I drank 2 gallons of water in a 9 hour work day and i swear i only went to the bathroom once. O.fO.shO I dont know how you get in attics when its this hot out, I cant stand being in them I almost pass out.

BTW, the gym I lift at doesn't have A/C so it's typically around 80-85 degrees

I feel your pain bro... I work in network security for a brockerage house. I work stupid hours and long ones at that. lack od sleep has always been my thorn in the side, I do my best but a typical day involves working about 7 am to 4 pm, then I go to the gym fo ra couple hours, go eat, and then come right back to work for another 2-5 hours depending... I do thatprobably 4 of 7 nights a week. its hell on the recoveries...

I feel your pain bro... but I think you are referring to physical security... I work in Information Systems and manage Security appliances such as our firewalls, Intrusion detection systems, and monitoring tools.

I drink a nice big fruit smoothie before my workout and remind myself of how guilty and lazy I'll feel if I don't go. Besides if I can do 9-10 hours in my shop on a 90 dgree day then one more hour in an air conditioned gym should be no sweat. Get it, no sweat. Whatever you do, don't sit on the couch when you get home or you'll never get up. Sometimes I take a cold shower too, it really helps to wake me up.
