@searchingforfaith8709 I work in construction, yes im tired some times. But I mostly just eat more to recover faster and grit your teeth. Some times you just gotta man up and get it done. Everyone’s for an excuse, but you have to find a way to make it work. My day as an example
Leave for work at 5am 45 min drive to work. Work a 10 hour day 6am to 430. I eat all day for energy, with a big lunch. Get home let the dogs out, kiss the wife down a protein shake is 30-40g of protein, oats for carbs, peanut butter, and ovaltine for taste. With this i eat either some tuna or chicken patties, take a shower and I’m at the gym within about 30 mins, ready for a good 2 hour training session. Not to kill myself for work I find I can recover from a max of 4 gym days a week. But at 36 I don’t need more than that I’m at a point in my lifting journey 4 - 2 hour sessions are more than enough. I do more of a power builder routine. Kinda works out like this, first hours built around a heavy compound. Second is all around high rep bodybuilding accessory work for that lift.
So
Monday - bench then accessories
Wednesday - Squat quad accessories
Friday - deadlift hamstring/back accessories
Saturday - open day, go by feel, more often than not a bench variation such as boards, chains, slingshots, floor, close grip.
