When to work out?

[Layddually2]

Started feeling extremely depressed about not getting to gym. I wake up around 4:45am at work by 5:45 get done with my day around 6-7 go home play with kids then play with wife then sleep between 9-12 depending on how hard my day was. Im thinking if nothing else sat and sun morning? What you guys think?

It's hard sometimes ESP with a family. My wife wanted me to finally fuck her in half Friday night and asked me not to go to the gym. I took 30mg cialis and made her cum 4 times so the loss of gym was worth it lol.

I prefer to go Sunday or Monday as those are days off for me. Then 2 more days during the week. I get off work at 7pm and go right from work. Usually home right before 9pm. I miss my toddler those nights. What can ya do? I'm not a morning person and ill never wake up early enough to go at like 5am lol.

No way could I go to gym instead of spending and hour or so with my kid.

It's only 2 nights a week. I spend the entire day with her on Monday. I have no choice. By the time I get off work I usually only see her 30 min up to 1 hr on non training days before she goes to bed anyways.

That's the way it is for me that's why I was thinking early on my days off before kids are up.

I go whenever I can, mostly at 6am when I get off work.

Just looking at your schedule Layd, I would think right after work would also work well for you. That's when I would go if I had your schedule

[Ironguruera]

U can make gains and progress in 3 days a week. That's what works best for me to really grow. 3 days I hit entire body.
1 hr -1 hr 15 min sessions

Back/shoulders

Legs/triceps

Chest/biceps

I train abs as often as I can fit in time wise. I aim for 2 times a week.

I purposely split chest and shoulders far apart like that. If I do either one days out from the other I'm too sore with chest or shoulders.

I also hate triceps and chest same day. I find I'm too fatigued to get full power from an contraction from the pre exhaustion.

Anyways I've found this an easy program to still have a family and a life....yet still grow and make progress.

Could I benefit from a 5 day program ? Physically probably yes.....time wise no way! I just don't have the time. It's not my job it's a hobby.....

If I go after work I will miss my kids that day. I forgot to mention it takes 1.5-2 hrs to get home with traffic.

My schedule is all crazy at the moment (training on my new position) But I always try to go after work (between 7am and 9am). I will lift 3 days and in between the lifting days do cardio

I believe it's time to change it around though :0 )

A change is a good thing every once in awhile, it keeps your body growing. Sometimes I have to go very early (4 AM) or very late (midnight). Make sure you get plenty of rest, I always wind up missing some sleep, thats not a good thing.

[bionic redneck]

i work out 3 x wk.... monday, weds, and fri.. 2 body parts per day........ and do cardio on my off days... i usually go around 5 or 6 pm.. even though finding a parking spot sucks lol

[MuscleAddiction]

5 days a week...2 rest days, sometimes end up hitting an extra day for a lagging body part or to blow off steam.

You may want to think about investing in a squat cage and a platform. You could hit all you major lifts ie. squat, deadlift, bench, ohp. You can easily grow and get stronger sticking with the basics. It would also allow you to maximize your time with your kids.
