That wasn’t the point. The point is, “I don’t have time” is usually a lame excuse. I mean, unless you have a family, travel several hours a day to work and also work more than 5 days a weel, you don’t have much excuse…and many of the people here went through college and grad school and now have careers and still made it to the gym.

If you simply changed priorities, that is on you, but don’t use some lame excuse as justification for why you aren’t that focused on the gym.

MOST people are like you just discussed. They will fall out the gym the moment life gets hard…which is why most people are out of shape passed the age where they have mandatory phys ed classes.

You come across like one of the millions who will simply fall into the same rut over time.

Guys like that don’t last in this…or if they do, they are the type who spend half a decade looking the same or worse.

What a waste of time.

You should get that damp sorted (dehumidifier or something)…that’s if your house-mates/landlord aren’t too stingy lol. I’ve lived in damp houses before and it caused really bad asthma (mould growth etc.[/quote]

Just to get my 2cents in, as a college student, you have more time than you ever will in your life. I played college football and was premed. I lifted twice a day 4 days a week. There is always time. Every time you find yourself watching tv, drinking, or napping, you just lost an opportunity to workout.

As far as how much weight you can put on… I put 50 lbs, gained 55 lbs on bench and 120lbs on my squat my first semester of college (I’d also been lifting for 5 years at that point and wasn’t making newbie gains).

For diet, when I wont have an opportunity to heat my lunch, I pack hard boiled eggs, greek yogurt, almonds and a protein shake. Then take an extra shake for a snack later.

for you split. personally I would do a Push vs pull type of training. My guess is the reason you dont think you have much time is that you’re not efficient in the gym and spend a lot of time on nonessential movements.
Something like this would be my suggestion (tailor to fit)
Day 1: Upper Push- Bench, Military, DB incline…
Day 2: Lower Pull- Deads, Olys, Jump shrugs, GHR…
Day 4: Upper Pull- Pullups, Rows, shrugs…
Day 5: Lower Push- Squats, leg press, Jump squats, pistols, lunges…

the point being that if you dont have time, cut out the stuff that gives you less bang. Complexes would be even better.

i don’t have time to train 5 times a week so instead i’m going to train 3 times a week.

just thought i would repeat it to give anyone who hasnt started bitching yet the opportunity to do so.
