wow only 5-6 years? i was expecting you to say like 15! impressive work - must be lots of hard work and awesome genetics

btw noticed you're a librarian - like me you do a job you maybe wouldnt consider compatible with wanting to be a bodybuilder lol. im a pianist, and actually worked for 2 summers as a librarian haha

would be cool to hear what your training structure and diet is like if you have a mo - must be very effective if that progress is 5/6 years.
 
Have always stuck with the basics - Split up the body over 5 days a week and start off the workout with the basic movements for that bodypart (i.e. squats, deads, bentover rows, benches, etc.) and see what I feel like for the rest of the workout. Again diet is simple, I try to get in about 300 gr of protein a day, stear clear of refined carbs (mainly choose oats, sweet potatoes or chickpeas as my source since they nice and cheap) and stear towards a variety of healthy fats from fish, nuts, advocados or olive oil -- very basic really.

sounds good - simple often seems best in bodybuilding! Right now I'm doing 4 day split (well trying to be consistent with it). pretty basic too, but for shoulders and chest have been starting to do quite a lot of cable work, as I need to improve strength. Diet - chicken/ various fish, carbs mainly oats, jacket potatoes, rice, and then lots of salad with meals and olive oil. also lean protein shakes and glutamine.
how do you find staying consistent while working? I've been consistent over summer as was only doing a part-time job, but it's becoming more difficult as full-time work begins again!

You're right - it is a challenge especially in my case works gotten busier as more people were laid off. Basically all I've been able to do is be flexible (i.e. training at weekends, early in the morning - Muscleworks opens at 7) and re-jigging what days of the week I train. Its a pain but can be done.

being flexible seems like a good plan. When i join Muscleworks next week, will be aiming for early morning during week, or late evening, and also morning at weekends. do you find the gym isn't too busy from 7am?
 
Not too bad early in the morning (haven't trained late in the evening there so would be able to say how crowded it gets then).
