Question for all the bors

[mrdeeznuts]

Ok so here's the deal i've been dying to start my winter cycle but I'm remodeling a house and i get up at 5 already to go to work, work from 8-5, and work at the house till 10 pm.

Should i balls up and get up at 4 to go to the gym or would it be a waste since i'm obviously not going to grow as well due to improper rest.

The remodel should be done in 2 months. Suggestions, advice? I'm sure many have been in the same situation.

Also i've been remodeling since June

id suggest short 20 minute workouts 5x per week.

train each muscle for 20 minutes and out...

i have been on a fucked up schedule like that for the past 2 months. heres what i did. just when ever you get the time during the week. do a whole body workout. 2 sets per body part to failure. starting with the largest body part first, such as thighs, back, chest, arms, calves. then just side laterals for delts because the back and chest exersises did the front and back delts. try and perform in less than 45 min. then 3 days later, if you feel like it go and do another light whole body workout, but if not don't worry.

Wait until you are finished with the remodel. I know that sucks but it will be worse when your body is not responding well due to lack of sleep.
I am having a bit of surgery in a few weeks, so I have to stay off until March!!!. I may hit the IGF again in February to help things along!

The length of time in the gym is not near as important as the intensity while there. Quality not quantity I always say. Go to the gym and hit the weights with the mentality of an enraged silverback gorilla. Crush them, leave no energy in the gym and then leave. The weights are important but you don't need to spend a ton of time if your routine is hardcore and you are intense state of mind, not standing around and doing nothing.

3 exercises done correctly HEAVY and reps 4-6 is all you need bulk or cut....

i totally agree also. part of the reason i'm planning on going to the gym very early due 2 no people being on the machine.

i was just checking to see if everyone thought it was sufficient sleep and exercise to start a 15 wk cycle on
