I bet if someone said you could make an extra 500 dollars a day by using just one hour of it, you would have time. You have to make it.
My schedule is cramped too but I have to make time for a workout. I spend at least 11-12 hours a day away from home on work related activities. Then I get my 8 hours of sleep. Then I have a little girl that needs attention, then eating, then getting ready for work and squeezing in some time to work on my rides has to fall in there too. Just gotta do it.

I work 20 hours per week. I save over $1000 dollars per month, belong to two gym and can afford Protein powders, Creatine, and other additional supplements.
I'll be in Saigon for quite a long-time. Don't think I could ever work in America again.
Why? Because after work, and commuting to work, there is no time left. And that includes working out. How can you guys work full-time, commute to work, then commute the the gym, acutally work out, then commute home to wife, kids, girlfriend, and then get enough sleep?

Are you doing roofing? I did it for a few days as a favor and it is very physical work. Most your energy is spent up by the end of the day.
I am from Bremerton, WA, by they way....
I'm up right now so I can go. you do what you can...4:30am isn't my idea of fun.
Word.
I get up at 4:45 to work out. It sucks, but you do what you have to do. Then again, I have a cozy office job and sit on my ass for eight hours, which is hardly as straining as tarring a roof.
I think you need to get out of that lazy mentality. I work out 4 days a week, i eat 5 times a day, i wake up in the morning to go to school mon thru thursday, and i work 4 days a week in a restaurant. I've gained about 10 pounds of muscle mass since i've started working out and i still have time to browse this website.

I am just starting out weight-training, but squeezing everything in can be difficult.
I am up at 5:30 AM, go straight to work, and do not get home until 6:30 PM. If I get home, grab my kit, and head to the gym, then I am not home until after 8 PM. That means that I am having my post-workout shake at 8:30ish, and eating a real diner at 9 PM. If I want to get anywhere near the 8 hours / night of sleep, that doesn't leave me more than one hour between diner and lights out.
If I find it difficult, and I work behind a desk, I hate to think of how hard it is if you worked a physical job.

All that kept hitting my brain as I read this is: Its not easy or everyone would be doing it. Just don't think its always that simple.
Use to workout - work on a loading dock - went to school and had a family. Lunch hour - worked out. Saturday and Sundays I was off so did a longer workout 1hr 15 minutes each. Found the time ... it was not always optimal based on the "Rules" but it got the job done.
Everyone has a natural built in radar that searches for the reason we can not do something ... Successful people break the tradition and look for ways to do it.

If you want it that bad, you will find a way.
I work graveyards, go to school and find plenty of time. Its all about priorities.

7 days a week?
If off at 4 you have from 4-7 to lift, and if off at 6 you have from then till 7 or 8! So much time rite there. The girl can wait an extra 15 mins bro, but thats just me.
7:00 wake up
7:25 get up and rush around
7:30 eat and and head to school
11:30 eat at school (i know its a while between eating and it sux but i try to find ways around it)
3:15 try to eat a pre-workout meal b4 w/o at school
4:30 go home and eat
from there on i do home work, play games and what not
usually i dont workout at school i workout at home so at 3:15 i come home and eat, then wait a while and then workout

off at 4 then a hour drive. plus its tuff after fuckin being bent over and raped in the ass by your formen saying GO GO GO. lol Oh and my fuckin roids got flushed so it sucks.
Well ill be ok. When i get back schoolin. Then i have plenty off time. But in the summer ill probaly have NO TIME!
Well if its only summer time, and you do good year round you could get away with takin the 2 or 3 months off. I know lots of people who do that, just make sure you keep BUSY at work. When somethin has to be lifted you lift it, use those muscles you worked hard for the last 9 months.
Sure its not ideal and most people can't do it but you can make do.
You could try joining a gym closer to your job and rite after work go there then head home. I do that, my gym is on my way home from school.

Thats a good idea bro. Closer gym. Well I love havin big muscles for roofin it makes shit fly. But i hat the ware and tare i loose weight to much.
Yea I hear ya with the ware and tare. If you are losin lots of weight try and increas the cals. Unless they dont let ya bring food up there with you.
I use to work some construction and a guy was always eating on the job, he was the biggest SOB I ever saw and he always worked. No one ever complained because he did his job. Sure he could carry 6 slabs of sheet rock at one time but that didn't intimidate anyone

Then again you can always do what I do and work in a gym.
I work at two - so no matter where I am or with what clients I always have a place to work out.
