Hey all! I'm new to the boards but not new to bodybuilding or lifting. I need a bit of help. To make it short and sweet I started a new job two weeks ago and I work nights now.
This new schedule is really throwing me off course. I work from 7p.m. till 4a.m. Friday through Tuesday and have off on Wednesday and Thursday. I usually sleep till around 11a.m. or noon when I get home.
What would be a good time for me to work out now? I'm an industrial heavy equiptment operator but also do a lot of lifting at work from 1-100lbs. as well as running around a fair bit.
I was thinking it would be better for me to lift right after work since I was already working out all day at work but by the time I get home I'm spent.
So far I've been lifting around 1:30p.m. and it's working out alright. Thing I'm mostly worried about is is it enough time for a mild recovery before I go to work at 7p.m. and start all this running around and lifting?
I kind of feel like I over work my muscles because I'm not growing from what I can see.
Currently clean bulking and eating 4,500 cals, 200g protein and about 100-125g of fat per day. I'm 6'0" and 189lbs. Bodyfat percent I'm not too sure of (don't own any calipers). I've got a lean structure with a medium sized gut to best describe it.
I feel like I work off everything I eat while at work. Should I be eating even more to help with this? Almost feels like I gain all my weight in my mid section as well. I eat EXTREMELY clean and don't understand this.
Currently using:
ON 100% Whey Protein
C.L. Orange Triad
C.L. Purple Wraith
C.L. Green Magnitude
C.L. White Blood
Nature's Best Fish Oil capsules 1,000mg's.
Nature's Best Flax Seed Oil capsules 1,000mg's
Sorry for the long post but I really need help figuring out a new routine for both diet and workout times. If anyone who needs more information, daily diet outline or what ever please let me know. I really appreciate any and all help I can get! Thanks in advance!
