Take the money and do the job. That's an opportunity not to be missed.
If nothing else, it's shit hot for the resume.
You'll kick yourself later if you don't do this. Hindsight's a bitch.
Good luck, whatever happens

I think the guy just wants him for his body.
6 months, wtf? Do you know how much pot you can get for $12000? I would say do it if it is only 6 months for that much money and little time. Then, when dude hits it rich, he remembers you. If there is one thing you miss once you become a "Grown-up, it's the summers, give it up now while you are still willing.

If you aren't training the muscles, they don't just stick around, even if you eat enough. Sure, he could maintain his weight but if he isnt training those nutrients won't go to build and maintain muscle mass and will be stored as fat.
btw, calling DD a fucking moron is quite rude, wtf.
All this aside. I'd probably go with the oppurtunity and find out some way to train. It would be rough though.
I think KelJ is just worried about the lascivious looks he'll miss from his boss at the antique shop....
I would take the job in a heartbeat. Think about it, you've been working at your current job busting ass and an opportunity like this falls into your lap. Doesn't happen to many people, and when it does... you bet for damn sure they jump on it.
If you don't take it, your going to be kicking yourself for not taking such an easy $2000 a month. And you get to tell all your friends how you ALMOST doubled your income but because you want to smoke pot you chose not to. Its a no-contest, take the job and continue working out. Don't psyche yourself out by thinking your too burnt out because chances are its 99% mental anyway.

I understand that. But a guy in his 20's will lose very little muscle mass.
I mean it's not like he's going to lye in bed for the next 6 months.
Christ people stop over-exaggerating.
Hell just fit in little workouts here and there even if it's just elevated pushup's or squatting with no weights slowly or the end of your bed legpress, where you stack some shit on your bed and then lay at the foot of your bed and do presses, sit-ups, door frame chins, etc........
Go with the job. 6 months and you might possibly be set for life if it takes off.

I'm not exaggerating. If you don't train the muscles with moderate intensity resistance they will fade, I'm not gonna lie. The rate at which they will can't really be defined, sure he has his natural T levels, but like I said.
He can get it back anyways, like you said earlier.
Anyways, Kelju, hope you can clearly think this out. Maybe since this is all coming so fast it is sort of shocking. Just rationalize it out and find balance, I think you can do it. It may take a really strict lifestlye, of course a part of that strict regimine is too relax and be about to see what is going on around you. Maybe it could be a great experience.
I work 60 hours a week every week all year and I still find time to train.
If you want it all enough, it will fall into place.
Good luck.

I used to work 5 days a week from 8-4:30, then night school from 5:20-9:00 and still worked out three times a week for 2 years, even graduated top of my class with honors.....

I'm pretty sure alot of us have. The thing with thaat is though,. once you get it your head to start exapanding professionally or financially, with the view of settling it back down to better long term daily life, besiides the extra money, including or even revolving around equal or better health and fitness, sometimes there need to be interim sacrifices to allow that to happen.
For my 2cents worth, I say do both jobs, don't work out if it's going to burn you out in aany way, get established, eat well in the meantime thenn come and kick ass in your work outs from a better position.
That's what ii'm doing atm anyway. You only have doo those extra professional yards once in a while while transitioning into a better long term position if you do it right anyway before it all settles back down and sees your entire life quality better for having done it .

BIG FUCKING BINGO.
Agree 100%.
I worked 2 jobs, went to school full time, had a girlfriend, had a social life, had time to cheat on my girlfriend, and guess what? I added the gym life in the early morning. I showered and dressed at the gym, plus brought protein shakes with me.
Its not hard.

It'll all be over tommarow though.

I am leaning towards doing everything the best I can. I plan to take the job, keep full-time hours at the shop, and try to make time for the gym. All I can say is that I jew can not possibly turn down the proposition to make more money. I guess I will tell the guy tomorrow that I am on board with the project.

Sometimes when I have a hard time making a decision, I think of it as which side has a bigger chance of regret. If you choose the $ and get some working out in (even if its not as much), then you have eliminated most if not, all of your potential regret. Hindsight then becomes your friend.
Hey, maybe in the end the workouts will be what keep you sane.
Sounds like you made a good choice, and did it the right way. I hope there are more of you young'ins out there who are this mature about work/life issues. Gives me hope for the future.

I got to many friends around here thats got my back....
I am a moron, I highly doubt it. You wouldnt believe how shitty I got in 6 months one time. Oh it is very possible. My cholesterol went to shit, bad blood blood pressure. To be frank I went to shit.
Me and KelJu have a simliar body type where I know how easy we both can put on fat. Brother this from me, just be careful. Its easy to let your health go to shit working tons of hours a week. I do work over 60 now and still make training. But at the beginning I didnt know how to swing it and I got really bad.
Best of luck Kel Ju
Btw-Dont call people morons unless the title fits, and you no nothing about me, so until you have been around enough mine as well keep it shut.

Are you referring to me??
If so, then don't get your panties in a bunch. We already have agreed that 6 months isn't enough time to lose very much. So you are in the minority here.
I'm sorry you don't know how to take care of your body, maybe you should go read the diet and training stickies.
Been here longer than you am here more than you and have read everything there is in the stickies. Trained for the past 12 years took around half a year off and my body went to complete shit.
Referring to you, ya. You want to be a bitch and call little names well its as easy for me to do as well. I simply want the best for KJ. Hes a good guy and I am just making him aware of what happened to me. I was passin a worse case scenario. Simple as that. Take care of myself? Yeah I do very well for myself. But whenever someone gets complacent with themselves and everyday life things like what I went through CAN happen. And until you experience it you cant talk about it. Worked 60-75 hours a week and ate whatever I could to get by. Was swamped with work, 2 kids, wife, and trying to keep up with family things that were happening at that point, shit was tough. The stress at work is always tough so I was making him aware.
Do I care if I am ever in the minority? Not at all. Many of the people who have commented have done so with no experience of going through something like this. I know because it happened to me.
I once was a competing bodybuilder. Took steroids (which I regret), competed on stage, had better eating habits than probably 98% of IM. While my eating habits are still good now, during that 6 month stretch they were crap. Not crap to the point that I shouldve gained that much weight, but my lifestyle was so non-active!
And like its been said here and in KJ's journal we both are simliar in many ways!
