also dont worry 24yo is great

I'm 23, 130 lb at 5"9. Basically skele-tier. I'm doing a degree in CS too. For me it's pretty possible to just spend 1 hour in the gym four times a week, definitely possible.

>>41006644
It's always going to be too late if you're even questioning it.

>>41006644

>is it too late to x

if you're still alive the answer is no

give yourself some permission

I go to the gym, im not out of shape - it's the level of dedication to diet/cooking + working out + the amount you need to cook that makes it hard for me to fit into my schedule. I take a fuck ton of adderall so it's even harder to gain weight when I want to

>>41006644
I'm 39 and hit 1/2/3/4 after 7 months of hard at it.
>never too late

Almost like they go hand in hand my man.

As far as I'm concerned I didn't manage to do it until after I finished my dissertation. I could manage healthy cooking and enough cardio to not get fat, but not lifting on top of that, or only occasionally, not at the sustained dedication level that is necessary for gains.

Now all PhD students are different and I strongly hope you can find a way to rearrange your lab life and personal life to work out as much as you want and still meet your academic requirements.

It's never too late but sure, the younger the easier, and looking good shirtless is also more important when you're young.

Good luck for your PhD!

>>41006644
You can still do it man. I'm 24 with a full time + part time job, while going for a 2 year degree. It sucks, but is possible.

>ITT: normie retards pursuing a bachelor's/associates saying that if they have time to lift, a PhD candidate should have time to lift too

PhD pursuit is soul crushing. I just got an MS in CS and my average night's sleep for my final semester was like 3-4 hours tops. I knew a few PhDs that basically slept 1-2 hours in the CS building and then got right back to it the next morning. I didn't lift at all and it sucked.

OP, I'd recommend doing absolute bare minimum to not get fat. You can try to manage 2 sessions of the basics per week.

A:

Bench
Squat
Pull up

B:

DL
OHP or Incline bench
Row


AxxBxxx

Just get in and and get out. You can finish both days in 45 min and get back to your dissertation. The biggest issue you will face is sleep deprivation. You will not make gains. Just think of every session as a cut -- you're just trying to maintain what you have. Eat at maintenance.

You will not get shredded during this time. Professional life is a big adjusted as well. Took me two years to settle into a serious gym routine again after getting a job as a software engineer. And now that I'm serious once again, I basically don't have time for anything else. And I don't even have kids (just a dog and a house to maintain). I can see why having kids makes people fat now.

It's tough. I'm looking to create more income streams for myself because I don't think I can do this for 40 more years. I value health and fitness over money. I'd kill for more flexibility.

just about to finish undergrad in mech and aero

gl to you man

Thanks!

>>41006669

Those guys don't have full time jobs.

>>41006679

Bachelor's takes very little effort and most PhD candidates did their BS with their eyes clothes. PhD is a different monster.

Jesus Christ, we're going backwards. Nobody cares about your manual labor and retard mode associates.

>>41006644
no
I'm sure you have 3 days a week you can free up an hour to train
even if you can't do it perfectly it's better than not doing anything at all

>>41006644
Don't be a faggot, you can improve every day for the rest of your life, you just want to keep progressing forward and shit.

>>41009414
>eyes clothes

my fucking sides

>>41006644
Why bother asking this question? You clearly know how much time you can set aside much better than any of us would.

me @ 27 versus me @ 30. no, it's not even close to too late.

And your excuses are bullshit about not having time. Ever since i've lifted I've maintained a full time career 40 hrs a week + full time load of courses at college + lifted 6x days a week + dieted and cooked 365/year + family/social obligations/relationships + shitposted on /fit/. Get organized and get your priorities/goals mapped out. If you want it, you can do it.
