TweetHard work builds character,lol!!! You can do it, out Dad's did. That generation really worked there asses off compared to ours.

TweetWhat exactly do you mean by shift work? ? Would another description be swing shift? Say one week days, next week nights, third week afternoons? ?
I know swing shift will take years off your life. .lol seriously, the constant change and your body never gets adjusted. I'm a 7-3 on 5x8's with the occasional 4x10 week thrown in there.

TweetIt's absolutely bizarre. It's a rotating schedule with 5 guys for 24hr coverage of 12hr shifts. So I was just off for six days. I'm on an 8hr today as an extra then 3 12hr days. Off for two then on nights for 3 12hr nights. Off for 6. On for 4 days,off 1, on for 6 days. It's absolutely batshit crazy.

TweetYep.. lol batshit crazy is right! !.lmao

I'm the J man

TweetDamn, I didn't have those pay period, that was the one with a 1 day turnaround. Anyway I was just looking asking if anyone else here maintains the lifting lifestyle and does shift work. I'm hoping to god it won't be a problem but always looking for pointers.

I had something similar to that. I worked day, swing and grave shift every week.. It was absolute hell! I did it for about 8 months before I transferred.. I drank lots of coffee and took phentermine on my night shifts.. I made it through it but it was horrible ha.

TweetAh thanks for the inspiration. I see the light at the end of the tunnel is really a train lol. We don't do swing shift here, it's just good ol days or nights. It's not strenuous, I sit in a controll room a watch screens and coordinate with distributors. We've even got skinamax on tv for night shift.

TweetHaha! Not to be a downer lol! That's good it's it stressful. I was doing warehouse work so it sucked ass!! Lol
I know a few guard who do a shift like you and they say you 'kinda' get used to it and they drink a lot of caffeine..
I used to hit the gym after my graves to get worn out so I could sleep better.. But that's me
