Looking for advice from people who have had success bodybuilding in less-than ideal circumstances, ie. military/firefighters/doctors/business owners etc
I’ve hit a pretty intense wall of physical and psychological fatigue dieting down to 4-5%(at 7% presently) and I’m trying to combat this with supplementation and routine adjustments around my work assignment that I am unable to change for the next few months.
The primary issue:
My assignment has me hitting 10-15k steps daily with 10-12hrs of work daily. With my commute, hygiene, cooking etc, sleep is maxed usually around 5 maybe 6hr a night.
Gear wise, I’m currently running 400 test/400mast/200 tren.. muscle recovery is decent but cramps/fullness/pumps are a struggle due to the long hours and lack of sleep.
Workout wise,
I’m lifting 4-5 days a week low volume high intensity at night. Morning is unrealistic unless I lifted fasted at around 330-4am.
My goal is combat the general fatigue and stress on my body through this period.
Interventions I’m considering:
- HGH, 2-4iu in the AM to make up for the lost production from reduced sleep
- Switch my preworkout to a zero-stimulant one to avoid the REM impact from caffeine that close to sleep. Maybe a natural alternative like Kratom or something.
- Magnesium Glycinate 3x day for cramping/cognition,
- Some kind of multivitamin and/or greens supplement to cut back on time spent cooking and keep micronutrients present
- Some kind of natural anti inflammatory, C3 Curcumin?
- Something pre-bed to improve the quality of sleep since quantity is lower.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
