24 hour on and 48 hour off work

[hilmern]

Just started working as a firefighter
my schedule is 24 hours on followed by 2 days off
I can't wrap my head around the schedule yet
the people I work with said that it takes time to adjust
I'm used to training just about every day or every other day, most of the guys i work with go out drinking and partying on days off but i want to train. should I train before my shift starts or wait till after?

i would train before your shift so you are resting at work and chilling until something goes down

you can train after work if you not tired

 

[Quadsweep]

in your job you need to just prep for work so before work training

We've had at least 2 if not 3 pros do that job. Steve Zuklo for example

train during your shift maybe? you have a lot of downtime

although i'm not sure what the rules are with that but that would be most ideal

I was a volunteer firefighter myself
it is a tough schedule. in that 24 hours you need to focus on sleep and your workouts

I would go before work and your job permits workout at work, I believe

 

[RoySimpson]

Wake up early and workout!

You can train after work......

I would just see how you adjust to the schedule. You will know when the best time to train is after that. Hard to say beforehand.
