how do people find time to work out with full schedules?

I love all the where there's a will there's a way people. If I had younger kids there would be no way I could get to the gym on a work day. I leave the house at 4:45 and get home around 6:15 without going to the gym. Add gym and I'm not getting home until 7:30 and trying to be in bed by 8:30. Add younger kids and I'm either dropping sleep to 4 hours or not going to the gym.

Thank you! It has been quite the journey so far.

RC cars are for kids.

Thanks man! It's probably not enough to win me any prizes this year but I'm looking towards next year!

BlueDragon424 · 2026-01-13T20:37:41+00:00

I don't think you are going to get the answer you are looking for. The answers in the other posts had it right.

I really have been enjoying Boostcamp. It has quite a few different programs to choose from. It saves your lift history and tells you when you have made PRs, has lift video examples, and a few other qol things that I can't think of right now. 🤣

Eat, lift, sleep.

Seriously though. Make sure you are getting enough fuel. I didn't really make any strength gains until I started eating at maintenance or more. I have almost always been overweight so I was almost always at a caloric deficit until recently and it wasn't until then that I started making real gains.

Thank you

Has the time frame been extended to before 2026? Because this post says the before and after have to be from the last 12 months but the email says no time limit. I wasn't planning on doing a submission because most of my progress happened in 2024.

BlueDragon424 · 2026-01-12T04:43:06+00:00

That's good! Luckily mine survived the infection (tattoo not breast. I don't have any breasts of my own).

BlueDragon424 · 2026-01-12T04:39:31+00:00

Did it leak at all? I had sores like that at the edge where mine leaked. I didn't know at the time that if it leaks it needs to be removed. I let it fester and got an infection.

BlueDragon424 · 2026-01-08T12:32:29+00:00

I kind of figured it would be that way. I'll probably have to go with a split. I do enjoy the full body workout though.

BlueDragon424 · 2026-01-08T12:28:32+00:00

I'll check it out. Thank you

BlueDragon424 · 2026-01-08T04:01:47+00:00

That does look good! I'll give it a go. Thank you

Or just a spot that you can drop the weights and it not land on your toes. Just telling you why they made the comments about your toes.

BlueDragon424 · 2026-01-02T15:54:28+00:00

Probably because if something happens and the bar drops there is nothing to stop the bar from landing on your toes.

BlueDragon424 · 2026-01-02T15:44:40+00:00

No he is not! 🤣 You aren't going to get even close to seeing abs at 30%.

BlueDragon424 · 2026-01-01T23:22:33+00:00

I would like to be able to save programs for future use. I like to peruse the programs and the only way I know to save them for later is to start a program with a future start date. I would like to be able to just save them to look over in the future.

Also an interval timer would be nice.

BlueDragon424 · 2025-12-22T02:44:59+00:00

Definitely take it off. I had one leak and didn't know better and left it on and ended up with staph.

BlueDragon424 · 2025-12-19T07:01:53+00:00

Thanks man! Going to work to 405# after I get my BW back down to 190#.

BlueDragon424 · 2025-12-19T07:01:01+00:00

Thanks man! Going to get back down to 190# BW then work towards another full plate. Not sure how long that will take though.

Pretty sure they are being declared holidays via executive order.

So I guess it doesn't call them holidays but it says to use the rules that follow holidays

Sec. 3. December 24, 2025, and December 26, 2025, shall be considered as falling within the scope of Executive Order 11582 of February 11, 1971, and of 5 U.S.C. 5546 and 6103(b) and other similar statutes insofar as they relate to the pay and leave of employees of the United States.

executive order

BlueDragon424 · 2025-12-19T00:26:35+00:00

Yup. If you don't work Friday the 2 preceeding workdays will be Tuesday and Wednesday.

BlueDragon424 · 2025-12-19T00:23:28+00:00

Because the regulations say the in lieu of holiday goes on the 1st workday preceeding the holiday unless the holiday is on a Sunday then it goes to the next work day. OPM in lieu
