Teaching, planning and uni essays :/ Where will I fit my gainz in! I am making the most of this time for training, we (as students) don't have many real responsibilities so may as well enjoy uni and training too, you can worry about fitting stuff in when you're 40 with a family and mortgage. The fact were all on sugden right now surely shows how 'busy' we are... Don't get me wrong, around exam time I won't be training as often, but if training is that important to you you will make time. Forgive my cynicism but people generally have horrible time management skills. ![]() | ||

I don't even leave school before 4 at the minute and I'm only doing a weekly placement. training at 8 more like ahah. I intend to have a basic home gym set up for those long days. I can mark books inbetween sets. "8/10 good work jimmy, apologies for the chalk, I was deadlifting" | ||

![]() embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | I think it must depend on what you study, I did history and politics and had all sorts of free time to train/drink/play rugby/chase women. Admittedly my degree does have very few practical applications. | ||

Member 3863, 1275 posts SQ 155, BP 110, DL 182447.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | I'm in my final year, dissertation is due in 2 and a half weeks with my discussion still to write... I work voluntarily at 3 places during the week taking up a large portion of my time in travel etc. and work as a PT at the University gym, I've also got my UKSCA assessment coming up this weekend with lots of prep to do and a presentation to do tomorrow... I lifted tonight still. But I'm s**tting one about everything... | ||

![]() Skaven for the win !! Member 2490, 3589 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 230530.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Fitting lifting into student life is easy. Do students have anything hard? Not really. I've gone gym 3-5x week for 5 years at university through the toughest of years and the easier ones. Never understood people who have to take months off at exam time. Even if I'm studying from 9 til 6 with an hour for dinner that's still 8 bloody hours reading and a free evening ! | ||

Member 3863, 1275 posts SQ 155, BP 110, DL 182447.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | To be fair, I had placement at the end of my 2nd year which was a 9-6 kinda gig and found that routine helped me s**t loads in terms of lifting... I was quite happy to work all day and hit the gym straight after! Granted I lived a 5 minute walk away from said work place so I could butcher up a fat scran pretty easily but I much preferred that to having the 6 deadlines in at once then none for a good few months routine... | ||

![]() more like 'FAT TROLL' Member 984, 6331 posts SQ 420, BP 260, DL 3351015.0 kgs @ 165kgs UnEq | I quit uni to lift weights full time and get a part time job. It seemed like a good decision at the time, 3 years and a few injuries later I am not so sure. My organisation skills were always crap so when I was at uni lifting suffered. Something had to give. I agree on the comments that working (especially something like door work with decent pay and not very long hours) suits the lifting lifestyle better. More money, more time and so on. | ||
