How do those of my Veeky Forums bros who work 5 days a week still find time to go to the gym? I get home at like 630...

830 but i have to wake up at 630 to eat breakfast and travel

i pack all my food and freeze stuff the night before. its just hard getting ~3200 calories in a day without resorting to eating garbage

pls senpai ;_;

>do you want to be able to pay bills or not

Drink a huge shake in the morning that covers like half your calories. Then just eat Lunch and Dinner and you're at 3200.

Is this some autistic r9k wagecuck b8

OP look for places on your route you can grab something along the way and eat.

I chose my gym so I could do this when needed
>pack clothes in car before work
>shift ends
>drive directly to gym
>work out
>drive home

Additionally I mapped out some food spots for breakfast that ended up being fairly healthy and comparable to what I would make at home but in less time. If you want to eat before working out see about just heating up some food at the end of your shift and eat it before you leave.

if you follow the routine presented in SS, it literally takes 30 minutes minimum to finish everything.
Also, try going to the gym straight after work. Then go home and eat dinner. Might give you more chill time at night but i dunno.

>Everyone is a noob doing SS
kek

Fuck going to the gym after a full day work brah. Just get up an hour earlier, go to a gym with showers, take your work clothes with you.

>early mornings before work
>late nights after work if i can muster up energy
>lunch break

i usually just end up hitting the gym at 4-5 in the morning, feels good

>tfw this is the only reason I work out

>Also, try going to the gym straight after work

This so much. For example, if your gym takes you 10 minutes to get there and 10 minutes to get back from your house than is nearly 20 minutes(depending your route from work home and the detour to the gym) you could have put towards working out and recooped from your night to put towards something else like cooking dinner.

It's sucks balls being a wagecuck. The worst thing is that we're stuck at the bottom of the pyramid. And we can't improve the situation either because we're stuck here with no time to do anything
But Veeky Forums related: always cook as much food as you can in a single time. And pick programs like SS so you can have rest day in between.

>How do those of my Veeky Forums bros who work 5 days a week still find time to go to the gym?

Don't have enough time.
If I had enough time I wouldn't have enough money.

Just do what you can while you're at work.

Yeah it sucks dude. I've just decided 6 hours of sleep is plenty. Imagine being in school full time too.

Welcome to adulthood. Welcome to hell.

>Welcome to adulthood. Welcome to hell.

Indeed.

What do you guys mean? I just go after work.

Go in the morning on the way or right after work. Break it up into two sessions and do some at lunch. Adjust your workout schedule to fit your life. Do meal prep before work or on the weekend.
I did all these things and it allowed me plenty of time for social life and lifting and eating.

You must not work long.

Not him but I do 8-8.5 hour days, unless your commute is like over an hour or you aren't picking a gym convenient for your life style I am not sure what to tell you.

>Work 8-6 everyday
>15 minute drive to gym - 10 minute drive to work
>Wake up at 6:20
>Grab gym bag + work clothes + coffee
>Lift until 7:40ish
>Shower at gym - dress and drive to work
>No breakfast. My first meal is lunch

Or when I'm lazy

>Eat homepacked lunch at 11:00
>Hit the gym at noon and shower
>Back at 13:15
I'm usually a few minutes late but at 11 am I'm usually too hungry to go lift

I never lift when I get out of work. It's the only time I have for leisure and gf

8 hours a day, monday through friday, pretty much the standard. I usually hit the gym monday and wednesday after work (from 7ish to 9 ish) and then take my time on saturdays. You get used to it, but yeah, I pretty much just eat and go to sleep after I get home on those days. Actually, today is one of those days and I should really hit the sack. Keep lifting, my friend.

>being a 9 to 5 slave

loser

I wake up every morning at 6:00AM so I can be at the gym for 7:00, workout until 8:00 - :8:15, grab a coffee on my way to work, and I'm in my cubicle at around 8:50

If I don't get up early to go to the gym, then I workout at lunch (Hour long break), and consume a meal replacement drink for lunch at my desk.

And if I do neither of those, I hit the gym after work, ditch the pre-workout supps, go home, eat dinner, watch netflix until about 10:30PM - 11:00PM then sleep.

I live close to work. 4 minute walk.
7:30-12:00 work
12-13:00 walk home, strip naked, calisthenics/ stretch and cook a nice healthy lunch.
13:00-18:00 finish work
18:00 drive straight from work to gym while eating a packed peanut butter sandwich and raspberries.
18:30-20:00 lift
20:15 shower then dinner (my showers are about 1 minute long.. I move really fast in cold water)
20:45 - 22:00 Decompress, tea, read, shit post.
22:30-6:30 sleep
Not hard. I couldn't imagine not lifting after sitting all day.
Lucky I get a stand up desk soon

>get up at 6:00 AM, chug pre-workout drink, so that's not working out fasted.
>gym is in my condo, one floor below me.
>10 minute warm up, 45 session. back by 7am
>shower, protein-rich breakfast, out the door by 7:30. at work by 8am. Home by 5:30pm.
>in bed by midnight.
> have about 6 hours of free time.

Helps me to lift first thing in the morning. I'm in grad school and tend to leave the lab only when everything imaginable is done, which leaves no time to hit the gym if I dont prioritize it.

I'm on a cut but my routine is basically
>wake up at 8am
>shower/shit/ pick up breakfast burrito ~600 cals
>heat up ~400 cal meal eat at work, sometimes will walk around outside for some cardio ~1mile
>Get off around 5PM
>Do 3ish miles of cardio at local park on way home
>Get back home at 6
>apartment has decent gym so work from 6:15-about 7
>shower/Cook 730 eat whatever left in my calories for the day
>8-10 whatever I need to do around apartment
>hit bed at 11ish

Not hard, just section your day out in an Excel document and see where you are wasting the most time and cut that shit out

how are you not going insane with so little free time

You have a long commute, seriously consider moving or getting a new job. Life is too shirt to waste two hours a day on moving.

>being a 9 to 5 pleb

why

you idiots will work like dogs and retire at like 65, and be too old to enjoy your free time

what a waste

>i have to wake up at 630 to eat breakfast and travel

Then wake up at 5 and get your ass to the gym. It's what i do.

Yeah, life is rough. Deal with it you whiny faggot.

He spends long time lifting but this is what a normal day looks like senpai.

Being an adult is hard.

>this is what idiots that don't plan in their early 20's actually believe

you are the one spending like 90% of your day doing work/commuting and im the idiot?

ok.

Not him, but

How do you spend your day?

I work 5 days a week of 12hr shifts, 1hr commute each way, and still manage to work oit twive a day. If something is important to you, you make time, if its not, you make excuses

>90% of your day
it's like 8 hours dude and has rewarding benefits, if you are too stupid to plan around 8 hours and assume all jobs are shit then yeah, you're going to have a bad time.

Seriously, pick a career you enjoy

Hey, I plan.

I plan to smoke this blunt.

not being poor

idk

all I know is spending all your time in an office or whatever is a pretty big waste of time. protip: you cant get those hours of your life back. so tell me, why spend a vast majority of your life sitting in a cubicle, just for some money?

and then you get old and retire! oh joy, so much fun to be had as an old, grey man.

I didnt ask if you were poor

And i didnt ask what you thought about working in an office

I asked

How do you spend your day?

>not working in a place thats like 5 mins away
>9 hrs work(with lunch and breaks)
>8 hrs sleep
>1.5 hrs lifting
>1.5 hrs between cooking showers, eating, the 5 min commute, etc
>4 hours to fuck around

you don't lift every day so its more like 6 hrs free, plus a bit more if you're a naughty pepe and don't sleep your minimum 8 hours.

Dude move closer to your job. With that kind of schedule it would change your life. A two hour commute each day is a lot.

You either still live with your parents assuming they will never leave you, never worked a job aside from retail/fast food, or a welfare leech who assumes that is "living". Either way, you are pretty short sighted to see a career you enjoy as a waste of time. If you don't enjoy the job you do, find something new. Not all jobs that pay well and are rewarding are cubical jobs.

sorry messed up the math.

6-8 hours free time I mean kek

doing what I want

my money makes money

aka investing

> recooped

This sounds like hyperbole

>8 Hours
>Not including break and commute.

Work takes up more like 10-12 hours.

just fyi, rotisserie chicken at the grocery store costs $5 and fresh veggies for the week will be less than $10. there's cheap, quick, and easy dinner for the rest of your life.

if you could choose not to work, you wouldnt work.

the only people who really enjoy their work are like, porn stars or pro athletes.

3/10 had me going. It's pretty obvious that IF you work, then you just do it for the $$ and not because you enjoy what you do

Learn to enjoy lifting and you wont see it as a hinderance towards your free time.

Work 8:30 to 18
Go home and eat dinner 19ish off to the gym back home around 20
Eat postbworkout meal and watch something /tv/ related
Sleep

my whole point is wasting the majority of your day doing something you dont really want to do, is a waste.

imo, take less money to do something you enjoy and live a more modest lifestyle.

>imo, take less money to do something you enjoy and live a more modest lifestyle.
Agree'd, no one ever said that wasn't the case...

And what is "doing what you want?"

Posting on Veeky Forums and masturbating for 8 hours? Or something equally embarrassing to the point where you wont say what it was, anonymously?

And im supposed to think that's a more worthwhile existence than leaving my house, talking to people and making money?

Sorry bro. Not buying it.

too many people work too much and cant even enjoy their money, it's stupid.

time is worth more than money imo

>$5 of vegetables will get you through the week

Found the skeleton

I bet you think this is some cutting edge theory.

At the end of the day youre juat a fucking loser. Dont forget it.

sure

dont forget to be nice to your boss! yes sir! can I get you something sir! no problem sir!

gotta work hard so he can put down a down payment on another yacht!

>say you have a job on Veeky Forums
>people without jobs start shitposting beyond control

If you ever want to see how much of an actual age gap there is between posters talk about working out around a job

>i-im an investor!

Interesting how many independently wealthy investors there are posting on Veeky Forums.

Where did you get your seed money? Did you call your parents "wagecucks" when they handed it to you? Or perhaps you engaged in some wagecuckery yourself?

Not everyone is in your circumstances faggot. We cant just all magically invest money and sit on it. Some of us have to earn it. Think about that instead of criticizing people for going out and getting a job while you sit on your ass all day.

>implying that's what i do

Whatever makes you feel better, you fucking unemployed loser.

Amazing the rationalizations people come up with for being lazy sacks of shit. I bet you actually believe this is what every job is like.

Investing means he is investing his hope that his parents leave him everything in a will so he can live off it + government aid

I work7 days a week ~80hrs
It takes like one fucking hour to bust out a workout. On rest days I can still meet up with homeboys before/after shifts.
I don't get ideal sleep (5 hrs a night usually), but its doable if you manage your time like an adult

GO IN THE MORNING YOU FFFFFFFFFFUCK

isnt it late for you to be shitposting?

better go to bed, wouldnt want to be late for work!

The sad thing is this guy will never realize just how bad he is as a human.

I thought your life was better than those of us with jobs.

Why are you doijg the same thing im doing right now?

why do you care what I do or dont do?

all im saying is that too many people waste too much time doing work, when they could work more modest hours and have more free time.

but no, they are too obsessed with buying shit that they will work themselves to death just for material things. it's nonsense.

Are you self aware as an autistic person? This is fascinating to me. pls respond

>people complaining about not having lifes if you work

You probably waste a lot more time than you think, seriousl get some pen and paper out and keep track of what you do for a week. Chances are you waste a fuck load of time you didn't know you had.

you've never had to pay for anything yourself, have you user. Or maybe, you didn't make your own wealth. Perhaps you got your job through a family connection?
>you will never be able to live it down. You are worthless

see

sounds like jealousy

hey, I have less money than movie stars. I guess I should be angry at them because they are in a better situation!

I get up at 5:30

I go to the gym for an hour or an hour and a half with a coworker during lunch or even longer if i feel like it
>that startup culture

look, my entire point is this

money is nice but free time is better: dont let work consume your life.

ok?

I leave work at 6:30. In gym at 6:40, out by 8 or later. Work an extra hour. You have it so good.

It's nearly impossible. I don't know how guys do it. Your life becomes nothing but work, preparation for enjoyment. Then your only joy is Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

And it's worse if there is a stressful work situation and then you just don't have the energy for the gym.

Thank the lord Jesus Christ I have my own business and don't have to work the 9-5.

It's kind of hard. I'm pretty beat when it's time to go home. That's why I signed up at the gym closest to my office and go everyday at lunch. With only an hour lunch and being able to get in 35-45 minutes in (depending on if I shower), you can still keep it together if you go 7 days a week. Think about it.

Lol yeah it kind of sucks. I work like a dog and then waste my weekend by being hungover

Yeah but how did you get the initial money?

I'm a decent investor, but without $50k - $100k to get started you still are gonna need to regularly work to produce income.

> porn

doing porn is pretty terrible man. Even for the men. Sex isn't much fun when its scripted for a camera and you must do emotional acts on cue.

Also STD's.

At least you don't have a gf, holy shit they take up a lot of your free time

>having your own business
>don't have to work 9-5

kek, unless you're planning on losing everything it's best you work a bit harder m8

Well let me just give you a small piece of advice someone once gave me.

You are no different from the CEO/Owner of the company. They just went out and did it, while you were handing out resumes. You'll always be overworked and someone else's servant when you work for another man. The effort your put into a "job" is the same effort you could put into starting your own business.

there's also always this guy who works 30 hours a day, commutes 18 hours and still has time to lift

time is money

free time with no money is not freetime, it's time passed

> He thinks I run a brick and mortar

pretty neat when your service doesn't require a building.
