lifting routine for a 24 on/off worker

[dustinator]

I work a job (firefighting industry) where they work me 24 hours on and off. I was weight training either before or mostly after work my last job where i went in from 9-5. now with this job it is 24 hours straight working and 24 hours straight off. how would you schedule your workouts based on this? i tried asking people i work with but they all drink and get wasted all the time. nobody cares about health

I would train after you're rested, like after you slept after a long shift.

There have been at least 2 top IFBB pro bodybuilders who have done your job. Read up on IFBB Pro Steve Kulco and see what he does (I think he's only stopped the 24 hour shifts in the past 12 months)

the #1 thing with your job is sleep. it can be very hard to manage this. you need to make sure you bedroom is quiet, dark and comfortable. once you are able to get a good amount of sleep then you can decide if you want to workout before or after.

also i bet you drink a lot of coffee at work to stay up. that is a major problem cause that will be in your system when you try and sleep. so you gotta manage that part too

it is a bad lifestyle and i recommend getting a new job

I would just base it on when you feel the best and are well-rested.

base it around how your body feels.
