Irregular training schedule

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi BBM team,

I did the 12 week press template a few months back and saw decent results from the program. However, my schedule has changed and it has been difficult to get the same amount of work in because I am working full time with odd hours while also going to school. I am almost always able to work out on Friday and Sunday, but the rest of the week it depends on how busy I am each day. My most common workout schedule has been Friday, Saturday , Sunday lately ( all full body days), but I also try to work out during the week if I have time. My question is, is there anything I should do differently if I am not able to to follow a ‘normal’ training schedule? Sometimes I only have time to train Thursday-Sunday, other times I can fit in a couple workouts during the weekdays. Are full body workouts a bad choice here? I am not exactly sure what to do or if I should do anything differently.

Thanks for the help.

SVOG,

I wouldn’t do anything differently if you can’t actually make it to the gym to do anything on other days. If you could however, I might recommend doing 1 or 2 exercises on multiple days of the week to get your total weekly training in. It doesn’t bother me if you have to train back to back to back to back, though I understand this can be frustrating.
