I'm 10 weeks into a 15 week cycle, I have gained close to 20 lbs and couldn't be happier. My problem is that I work two jobs and am now working seven days a week and 14 hours some days. When I started this cycle I was working a lot less hours and my rest wasn't suffering. My question is do you guys think I should just start my pct or should I finish out the cycle? I know my training is suffering and my gains are too.

Ive been doing just that, training heavy as possible every other day and trying to consume as many quality calories as i can. Im pretty sure the people i work with think im a freak of nature cuz all i do is eat and im a beast compared to what i was two months ago
BigBmajIf I had limited time I would squat, deadlift, and do chins. Maybe some dips if I had time. 3 times a week. Your arms may shrink a bit but they come back so quick it's not even worth thinking about.
Go heavy, rest hard between sets, and eat the highest quality foods you can find.
If you work that much it should make eating a little easier. I have Tupperware full of meals all day long and I just eat any second I get a spare minute. I work hard so no one is bothered by it.
Good luck.
Thanks for the advice sorry it took so long to reply, i have decided to finish the cycle and i really like the nutritional aspects of what you posted. Thanks again
sgtstedankoI'd continue the cycle. Doing the quick workout below. Don't know anything about you, weight, goals, etc. But had this handy.
