Hoping some of you guys might be willing to give me suggestions for splitting up my routine with this new schedule I'm working. I started a new job with the following 12 hour 2-2-3 schedule that repeats every two weeks. My job has a gym, so I usually only work out on the days I'm scheduled to work.

ON/ON/OFF/OFF/ON/ON/ON
OFF/OFF/ON/ON/OFF/OFF/OFF

I haven't really come up with a good rotation yet, so your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to create a well-rounded rotation, but I tend to neglect legs so hitting that a couple times per rotation would be good. Thanks!

Notes:
Intensity and Volume: Gradually increase the intensity and volume of your workouts based on your progress and recovery.
Listen to Your Body: If you feel fatigued or notice any signs of overtraining, consider adjusting the intensity or taking an extra rest day.
Nutrition and Hydration: Ensure you're fueling your body with proper nutrition and staying hydrated, especially during long work hours.
Feel free to modify this plan based on your preferences and how your body responds. Consistency is key, so find a routine that works for you and fits into your schedule. If you have specific fitness goals or areas you want to target more, you can adjust the emphasis accordingly.
