Ok im working offshore on the rigs 12 hours a day,7-7pm,the gym is always busy when i finish due to most of the workforce finishin at 6pm before me.
Do you think 9am during my break would be a good time or maybe 3.pm,or later at night around 9ish then at least i could rest after it with a good sleep ,the other times after my breaks id have to go back to work ,im lookin to add more muscle and get bigger ?Ive thought about goin in at 9am and doing just one body part a day heavy as i can due to limited time.

breakfast is 6-7am

lunch is at 11am,dinner at 5pm-half hours

breaks are 9am,1pm 3pm these are all half hours

i work in catering so eating lots of food isnt a prob and i have protein powders too.

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Do it whenever you feel at your physical and mental peak for the day.
Work outs can easly be done in 20-30mins just the correct approach must be taken.

same as above. Do it when you feel is best. try different times and see.

I train at 7.00 in the morn and would not have it any other way

Do you eat beforehand?
If so,what?(do you feel sick?)

I like to train in the afternoon. It works for me because I work a lot of night shifts, so I finish work at 6ish, sleep 'til 12ish and make it to the gym for about 1. It's also pretty quiet at that time of day, especially now as it's Summer Holidays for the kids.

gawd i feel as sick as a dog if i train before 9am.

Mon-Thur i tend to train at about 8:45pm as the gym is always manic before that. after 8:30 it goes pretty quiet which is really nice

Fridays i train at about 2:30 as i finish work at 1 on Fridays.

I train at about 9, I find this best as the gym is empty, Ive had a decent meal a couple of hours before, and when I get home, PWO shake and 45 mins tv then to bed. Sleep like a deadman, its brilliant !! But I gues ssome would say its an aquired taste but once you get used to working out that late its fine. I did earlies, like 7:30 workouts for a bit but every day was such a huge battle to get to the gym I went back to lates.

I like to train early evening after fueling myself with food throught the day.

I use to train in the morning but was so tired with no food in me I just could nto do anything

Alot of people have said afternoon/ evenings but I find early(ish) bout 7:20am I get to the gym after a good breakfast and get plenty of water during workout.

I really strugled going after work at 5ish, just felt really groggy and you know its never good when your yawning halfway through! Plus the gym would always be rammed but im sure it would be different in your circumstances.

I reckon you just gotta see how you seen during and after a workout at different times to find whats best for you

I train just after 5pm as I have my lunch at 2pm, means I can have pre gym meal at 5pm then dinner at 8pm means I am not eating to late :-)
