4-1 and 4-2 Rough start to the night shift routine but due to things out of my control. Had to shift the schedule around to make things work for the family so sleep has been at random times. Will try to get back on track this weekend after the holiday. Great back on 4-1, rest day on 4-2. Iron...

3-31 The fun has begun. First shift back on nights wasn’t too bad, still prefer it over days. Rough day sleeping, only 4 hours logged. No bueno, hopefully tomorrow is better. Hit a great chest/shoulder/tri session, pump was great, energy a bit low. Blood work showing a piece of the puzzle that...

3-28, 3-29, 3-30 Wonderful 3 day weekend before I switch back to night shift. That means 3 more days of solid sleep before I go back to struggling(hopefully not, have the tools now to keep going). This month I averaged 7 hrs of sleep compared to 3.5hrs last month, going to work to keep that...

Friday 3-27 Wednesday and Thursday were rest days, my final two shifts of days! Weekend off and start nights back up on Monday. I averaged 6.5-9 hours of sleep these 4 weeks, will I be able to keep that going on nights? Yall are along for the ride with me to see if it’s possible. Ready to get...

3-24 Another wonderful day in the books in this journey of mine. Weather is beginning to turn and that elevates the mood and the passion. Warm weather is near! Fantastic back day completed. Great motivation lifting with a friend trying to out do each other this session, no clear winner, we both...

3-23 Mondays fun day of international chest day. Rested Sunday to let the gut take a break. Things seem to have improved and adjusted some choices to help that out. Also picked up a continuous glucose monitor to gather more data on how my body is handling all these carbs. So far data shows my...

3-21 Up and at it at 130am to make use of an empty gym. With how good I’ve been sleeping it pains me to cut it short to get a lift in! Only 2 more shifts of days next week before I can get back to normal routine and looking forward to it. Fingers crossed sleep remains consistent! Decent back...

3-19 and 3-20 Thursday menu consisted of a knock out leg day that left me weak and begging for mercy. I always say if you aren’t leaving the gym walking like a fresh baby deer, you didn’t go hard enough. We hit that and then some. It’s been a minute since I’ve felt the soreness setting in as...

3-18 Wednesdays are for the sweet chest pump. Wish it worked that way and I could dedicate days to a certain a group but my schedule will never allow that. No worries, this is working and progress keeps going the correct way. Completely wrecked chest, shoulders and triceps, no better pump...

3-16 and 3-17 Monday was a very long day! Started at 130am when I woke up to be at the gym by 230am for a tough leg day before my 12 hour shift. Mistakes may have been made because I spent the day running around putting out fires at work and the legs weren’t too thrilled about that. By 6pm I...

3-14 Big beautiful back day! Routine and schedule got messed up this weekend by getting called into work to cover Midnight-6am. Put a damper on getting things accomplished this weekend off but still managed to work on myself! Grabbed a small nap when I got off and then hit the gym to kill the...

3/11, 3/12, 3/13 Well friends sorry for the short break but we are still grinding! Had so much going on this week that Wednesday and Thursday ended up being forced rest days. So ready to be back on nights so I can have my regular lifting schedule back. BUT, I’m not complaining about the extra...

Tuesday 3/10 Waking up feeling extremely rested and wanting to tackle the day is such a great feeling. Really enjoying these moments while they are here before nights roll back around. Feeling fantastic and successful with each lift. Really have no complaints about how things are going right...

Same for you! We are all putting in some work over here on TEAM USP!

Sunday 3/8 and Monday 3/9 Rest day on Sunday, time change really messed with me and was dragging all day Monday Another great night of sleep in the books. Almost makes me not want to go back to nights when it’s time. Will have to try and keep the same lifting schedule when the switch happens...

Appreciate that Boss! Showing up and putting in work for Team USP!

Friday 3/6 and Saturday 3/7 Friday was technically a rest day so I could get enough sleep to wake up at 145am Saturday morning for my lift before work. Decided evening lifts just aren’t going to work for me and my schedule, work is too draining to be motivated to lift after my shift. 2am...

Definitely trying to push higher on the time, my days off it’s more manageable!

Pulling heavy and trying to grow! Little by little every week

Thursday 3-5 Still averaging about 6-8hrs of sleep with the transition. I have hopes I can continue this trend for the whole month if I balance my workouts correctly. I have found in the past I tend to have less time in the gym on day shift due to the exhaustion days brings, but we will see...
