Some back ground on me. I have been in and out of the gym since I was 17 (born 1987). I have been very strict for over 1 year now (I can't say exact but in between 1 and 1.5 years). When I say being strict I mean "diet" and exercise. I have ran 2 cycles but I only consider 1 to be legit. I went from 163lbs - 191lbs during this last cycle of just test enanthate/prop. I'm 3 weeks into PCT now and am at 180lbs. I got down to 180lbs in 10days and I've held there since. 5'10.5", 180lbs, bf% 10-12 maybe??? The best part is I think I look good! Still have improvements to make and a lot of them but I like how I look.

Ok so, I work 58 hours a week and I have a 44 minute drive there and a 41 minute drive back (2a.m. no traffic). My schedule is this: Monday-Friday 3:30pm-2:00am (30min not paid lunch) Saturdays 1:30pm-10:00pm (30min not paid lunch). So as you can tell it is tough to get adequate gym and meal time in! Prep for food is the hardest! Here are some very basic tips.

1) KEEP GYM TIME SHORT AND INTENSE! It's been proven to pack on mass better anyways guys! (for some)
2) PRECOOK - Pick 2 days to cook (mine are Sunday (my day off work) and Wednesday (my rest/no gym day). Pre cook your snacks/lunches/meals for work in 3 day amounts. I cook a bunch of chicken breasts, brown rice and sweet potatoes.
3) DRINK YOUR BREAKFAST - I never have a huge appetite when I first open my eyes in the morning so I drink my breakfast! I Crack 1 whole egg and 5 whites in the blender with 1 cup oats, 25g whey, greek yogurt, peanut butter and some spinach (can't taste it). I chug this within 15minutes after I open my eyes every morning! This gives my belly time to digest a little and gives me about an hour before I have to be at the gym (whey/casein shake pre/post workout)
4) GO TO THE GYM WHEN YOU CAN - If your schedule is all fucked up and you can't set a daily routine, then don't! Just forget about what day it is and try to get each muscle group in once a week and hit them hard! You don't have to spend 2 hours in the gym to get some mass on ya! Or go 6 days a week! You just need to be consistent and motivated to push your limits when your there.
5) KEEP MEALS CLOSE BY AND PLANNED - I always have a meal close to me. I lose track of time because of work and we get busy so I'll forget to eat by 30 minutes sometimes but I have a meal planned and ready to heat so it's very convenient. I also eat very fast (not preferred but its better then not eating) because my work is fast paced.
6) MAN THE FUCK UP AND DO IT - Someone like me that has some much on their plate has no time for much of anything but work, eat, sleep, gym, preparing and planning. If you want to have a "night life" or even a fulfilled social life period you might want to give this a second thought. It takes time and determination. It take discipline and motivation. It's hard work but you have to ask yourself "How bad do I want it?".

This is just some of the things I do. Their are many, many more ways to free up some time but these are a few that I do. I would love to hear from anyone else that has a rough schedule and has some more tips for me. I wouldn't even consider myself good at this yet but I am getting better and I'm staying consistent.
