Bodybuilding While Working Full Time. That might be harder than you think. Many of us don’t have the luxury of being able to focus all of our attention on bodybuilding. Unless you’re getting paid by a sponsor or making some serious cash doing bodybuilding shows. You have to have a stable job to afford the necessities needed to have a good body. I assume most of us work the typical eight-hour-a-day job. So how do we achieve balance between work, bodybuilding, and all the other things we deal with on a daily basis? This article was written for the bodybuilders who want to bodybuild as well as work a full time job.

Bodybuilding While Working Full Time – Dedication

How do you feel when you come home from work? Most of us feel too tired to even cook dinner, let alone exercise. We have to motivate ourselves to put down the remote and hop on the treadmill. Also, we have to sacrifice some things for the sake of bodybuilding. We have to develop a balance between our jobs, bodybuilding, family, and our social life. Who wouldn’t rather go to a club with a group of friends? Instead, you go to the gym and put yourself through an hour of torture. This is when dedication becomes very important.

When we bodybuild we already create a bit of discipline for ourselves. So making sacrifices is just a part of the game. It’s going to become tougher to maintain that discipline when working a job full time. That’s because of all the added stress a job can do to you. You have to be able to persevere through all the obstacles. Once you do that, you will feel on top of the world as you achieve your fitness goals. Just don’t get cocky and have to restart the process all over again. Set yourself up to improve on the goal you just met and never become satisfied.

It’s About Getting Organized

So how do you approach bodybuilding while working full time? It’s very simple! Get organized. Write down everything you can do to achieve your goals. You also need to write down everything that gets in your way of achieving those goals. Always look for a way forward. Is your job manual labor where it is physically demanding? Then you should consider work as part of your training routine. That way you kill two birds with one stone so to speak. Find out how many calories you’ve burnt throughout the day working. Then replenish your glycogen stores during and after work. You can then exercise some of the muscle groups you didn’t hit at work. You will feel good about yourself for making an attempt to better yourself.

Bodybuilding while working full time – stick with it. You are going to have days where you feel overworked and stressed. You might feel that everything in the world is coming down on you. These are the days when you should treat yourself to something out of the ordinary. For example, a cheat meal. Or, consider going out to the club with a group of friends. Just keep everything in moderation. You can accomplish anything you want in life if you stick to your plan of attack and stay focused. Good Luck.
