Pretty soon hes going to have to worry about car insurance my parents can buy supps for me but the insurance is all me.

Alright, here's my two cents. First off, I admire your working so many hours at your age. I did the same. I sorta have the same problem as you. I work 60 hours a week (5 days 12 hour bodyguarding) shifts. Now include a 2 hour drive in rush hour per day from Bev. Hills to my house. I still hit the gym an hour a day. So I guess it depends on how bad you want it. I also suffer from killer headaches (non-migranes)->Started since I came home from Iraq. Do you have migranes? If it's a tension headache then stop whinning ;) BTW, I know some of you will be curious as to why I think my problems come from Iraq. I can easily think of a few good ones...(I know everyone likes to hear cool stories)
1.We lived in a landfill for 4 days and 3 nights. For us grunts that means digging a skirmishers trench for a bed and good night. The worst part was that the place was completely lined with DPICM mines! :eek:
2.One of our biggest firefights we had to assault a town and it was surrounded by a chest deep moat of actual sewerage.
3.ect.ect.ect...You get my point.

Back to the issue. I feel HST is the answer for you for a couple different reasons.
1.Only make it 3 days a week to the gym. (M,W,F)
2.Aside from 3 or 4 workouts, you never train to failure so fatigue won't be a problem.
3.It's designed to not use heavy weights until the last 1-2 workouts of every mesocycle.
4.I think it's the absolute best program for someone like you.

Instead of just giving you a link to set it up yourself like some do, just pm me and I'll set you up nice.

I work 7 days a week, I am also a full time student, and I always have time for gym, so I dont know what the hell u are complaining about.

WantingMuscle7 · 06-30-2005, 12:58 PM

Get a home gym or a few weights at home so that way you dont have to go to gym for every workout.

To:WantingMuscle7

P.S Sorry about that reply wait!!!

WantingMuscle7 · 06-30-2005, 07:36 PM

Wow I hope you can get a full scholarship if you put as much time into school work as you do working you'll be doing very good. As for apoc hes just like that I use to think of him that way but hes cool now. Good luck at trying to accomplish all your goals.

Why do I have to be the asshole all the time?? I wasnt trying to be one, it might be all the testo flowing through my veins. Anyway, I get up at 6 in the morning, and takes a shower, brush my teeth, blaahahha, and then head to school. My classes starts at 8:00, gotta hate the 3000 level chemistry and bio courses. Anyway, I have two hour break from 12-2, so I head to the gym, do my workout and then take another shower and go back to classes if I feel like it. I get out around 3:30, then I have to be at work by four. I get out of work by about 10:30, and its really close to my house, so I have about an hour and a half to study and do my homework. Ofcourse, u cant forget ur best friend, sleep 12-6, and the schedule goes on and on and on, except for minor changes in saturday and sunday, those days I dont get up until 12 in the afternoon.
