Training days 4 days on 4 days off

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi guy, I have a quick question that maybe you could help me out with.

I have started a new shift pattern at my work where I work 4 days on 4 days off.

These are 12 hour shifts with an hour commute both ways, i also have kids in the house as well as a heavily pregnant wife so i think the days I work my 4 days on are pretty much out window for training.

Would it be possible to pack my programming into my 4 days off work and not train when it’s my 4 days at work and still make gains/progress in my training?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Totally fine to do it this way. Is it the absolute BEST for short-term performance? Probably not. But it’s doable and likely to produce training effects all the same. Congrats on the (soon-to-be) new addition!
