How can someone keep up with the BBing lifestyle? (Your struggles and suggestions)
"What's YOUR routine, and how do you hold yourself accountable?!?!"
Many of us have busy hectic schedules, whether it's work, family, multi jobs, or even school..With this said how do you make the time to keep your promise to the grind, how do you juggle meal preps (do you even meal prep or eat on the lamb),do you have a partner that helps you with your goals, prepping, training, eating, are you drained after work and what pushes you through the doors of the gym?
What's your biggest struggle in this lifestyle? What motivates you,how do you keep the passion and dedication on fire?
Share your stories with the brotherhood.. Give some tips if you have any, or suggestions on how to simplify things in order to save time that creates more time for the grind!
Are you a college student and train religiously tell us how you keep up with the lifestyle? Do you walk away from parting and is it difficult for you? Give some of the other young guys some of your great ideas for improved nutrition, supplementation, time management...
(Share meal ideas too) meals on the go, or cheap eats that meet your daily macro's!

I really haven’t been hitting it hard until the last 3 yrs. I started lifting early in high school to put on size for football. I guess I over done it over my soph summer. I ended up putting on 20 lbs and went from a wide receiver to a fullback/tight end. Every lift went way up and I fell in love with lifting. Got back into it to loose some weight and get my strength back. Started aas about 3 yrs ago. Recent promotion has sabotaged the shit out of everything. I just have to stop and make myself go to the gym. Set a certain time down and stick with it. My wife meal preps because of her job. She got me a meal prep bag. I’ve had it for 3 months now. I have never used it.

I am religious at going to the gym 2x day. It gets hectic, but I am good if I get into a routine. With my workouts and food. I started competing at 46 (5 years ago). The first year was all natural. I am fine as long as you don’t fuck with my schedule. Sometimes shit happens and my day off is my day on to make up. I have not missed a workout in well over a year.
The only way that I can stay on my diet is to cook all of my meals on the weekend. I eat so often that I need to have it prepared. No cooking during the week.
Up at 3 am, workout and at work by 6.
I am also taking classes so my afternoons are come home, go to the gym, do homework, and do administrative work for the day that I did not get completed.
Try to be in bed by 10.
This does take a toll on family life. I will not go out to eat because of my diet. My wife may want to go somewhere however if it interferes with my workout, I will not go.
Obviously, this sometimes causes tension and makes her dislike me competing.
I just cannot go halfway, it’s all the way in or all the way out.
The people that competed at a younger age usually have a different outlook, probably because they have been there and done that. I’m still in the doing stage.

Nice I like this thread. Life has curveballs all the time, it is interesting to me as well to see how people adapt to the bullshit.

Yes I really like this thread, and it speaks volumes with the truth and reality of life and I greatly appreciate everyone's input because we can all take a little bit of something away from this..

If you refuse to miss a workout and you compete.... the answer is probably yes.

Don't mean to bring this back but I struggle too. Can't go to the gym til the kids go to bed. If they're good it's 845 when I get there and it isn't bad. If they're assholes its 945-10pm. Get in, try to get workout done by 11:15. That's hard if the wife is working out too cause we gotta load and unload weights if we only have 1 rack. Cardio is a no go if we both workout. Get home and hopefully can wind down quick from the pre(need to try non stim)since I have to be up for work at 5am. I rely on my physical job to provide my cardio for the week.
