    conflict between bulking and my JOB?

    I need some advice on this one i am not sure if i will be able to keep on bulking up this summer due to my job and i want to know what some of your suggestions are.

    This summer i will be working as a cunstruction worker, 8-12 hours a day some time 7 days a week. This means i will be working phisically all day and doing alot of cardio running arond to get things done.

    Now my question is will also this work eat up my muscles, or will i still be able to take on some mass. And about Hi carb day on my carb cycle should i eat more carbs to make sure i don't go in starvation mode to quickly.

    I am not looking for only answeres if you could give me tricks and information on what to do and other threads to read it would help me out a lot thanks.

    Lou Ferrigno was a sheetmetal worker and a machinest in his earlier years. He was able to bulk up pretty darn good. Mr. Universe at 21! You can do it. I suspect you will have to eat more than someone with a desk job though.

    this is what i found while working construction:

    eat a LOT. i got a break at 9:30 am and lunch at 12. and at those times i made sure to ingest 60 g of protein and lots of carbs. like the others said, dont do any more cardio. eat a lot before you go to work, and eat a lot when you get back. eat, eat, eat, rinse, repeat. oh yeah, work out too

    Why are you carb cycling on a bulk? Starvation mode....shouldnt be in the vocab of someone who is bulking.

    as long as your calories and protein are kept high enough the work will not "eat up" your muscles.
