Hey guys. It has been months since I visited this forum. I haven't really find a concrete routime that works well for a shift worker. I looked through bodybuilding.com and other fitness site most of them has at least 4 weeks progression routines but I find it hard to apply when Im wprking on shift with lots of manual labor too. I'm just losing weight instead of gaining. My cardio and endurance is improving but not size and strength. For now my routine looks like this: First week Sun: wholebody Mon:rest day cardio Tues:rest Weds:wholebody Thurs:rest cardio Friday:legs Sat:rest Sun:rest Second week Mon:rest Tues:push Weds:pull Thurs:rest Fri:legs Sat:cardio Sun:repeat week 1 Well its cnfusing to me too..hahaha. Im gaining strength but not size. Probably need to increase my calories but Im wathing out for my belly fat too.

Anyone from Singapore in this forum?

Hey I had this question too, but seems that it depends on what you are trying to achieve like what @RisenPheonix, @Estrix and others have explained that when it comes to mastering a certain sport, your body can only be good at one thing since different muscles are needed for different type of sport. I have this burning question that can I be like Ryu Hayabusa, the legendary ninja from ninja gaiden. He is fast,strong,he can like fight for hours run for hours and he is handsome too. I guess I haven't met someone like Ryu yet. Maybe they are hiding somewhere in the mountains in Japan. I wouldnt know. Haha. One thing for sure just look Usein Bolt and the other sprinters, they are fast and they are not that skinny. While those who run marathons looked like they are on a strict diet. For me, I'm training like a sprinter while maintaining enough stamina to run half marathons and have enough power to sprint 100m relays. Anymore than 20km and my knee starts to hurt badly though.I don't enjoy running more than 1 hour too. I rather play pokemon Go..lol

Heya @MarekBoone Nutrition is always troublesome for me too. I'm still learning to cook some simple delicious food. Maybe going paleo. Then again I need to have time management and discipline too. You working out at home or at the gym? I've just joined an anytime fitness gym nearby. Can't wait to start once this weekend. Hope everything goes smooth for you.

Hi and whats up everyone? I registered far earlier on this forum but kind of busy with life and totally forgot about this awesome community. I couldn't think of a cool nickname either than using my own name with a number at the end of it. I know I'm boring.Bleehhk. Anyway, Yup, me name is Zaid from Singapore. I'm like living half way around the world and I believe it is the only Island that is recognized as a developed country. In fact it is the only island city-state. With only two seasons, Rain or Shine, those living here can't possibly have any excuses not to keep fit all year round isn't it? But I guess not. Lifestyle here is like so fast paced and you are expected to work long hours just to make ends meet. I'm currently a chemical process technician working for a German company called Evonik, the one who is sponsoring BVB Dortmund. Been working in shift for almost three years now and I would agree that shift work is hard on the body in addition to the physical labor job we need to do. We value our off days so much as we need them to recover from the workload and inconsistent sleeping time. To think about improving our fitness level would need a lot of motivation, hard work and proper strategy to prevent burning out. Luckily I'm single without many commitments to begin with. If my off days falls on a weekday, I would spend most of the time, working out, reading, studying and probably lazing off with my cat. If my off days falls on weekends, then that is when my schedule will start to get packed. When it comes to fitness, I used to be skinny and underweight, but now I'm having problems with tummy fats with small arms and legs. Probably due to irregular sleeping time affecting my weight now. It's very confusing for me. It's like I want to grow stronger and bigger but my tummy is the only thing that grows faster and easily. Annooyyyiing:/..haha I have just joined membership with Anytime Fitness, hopefully I can start with a beginner workout regime and see results..CANT WAIT.. Anyway if anyone is on shift too and hitting the gym, do beep me Id love to hear your advice. Also,if anyone coming to Singapore for vacation you can beep me for some tips going around here!:D Here are some awesome place to go!

Heya people. Muhammad Zaid here, can call me Zaid or babyzee(well nobody every called me that except for my ex) but anyway. Hi and I'm glad I find an awesome forum that isn't too serious like bodybuilding.com. Forums like that ends up demoralising me.Lol. I kind of forgot where can i read up on the different classes attributes and stats. I've always like magic based though. Anyone can send me a link. I can't find it since yesterday.
