There is surely an hour a day where you are awake enough to dedicate some time to gym. The only possibility where this could not exist would be if your job is completely consuming your life, in which case you should consider finding new work ASAP

Change your schedule. I used to do 12 on, 12 off shifts. No alarm clock, when I wake up, I lift.

Just prioritize sleep much more than you think you need to, shiftwork really screws up your body in so many ways.

Do you work like 16 hour shifts or something?

When I worked in Las Vegas I worked overnight shifts a lot. 11pm-7am. That's only 8 hours. Throw in 8 hours for sleep, I still have 8 hours in the day to get a workout in.

Is this like patrol security? I've known guys who lifted at work.

About 30 mins - 1 hour after I wake up

Usually I'll have about 4 hours of free time to hit the iron before work

I wake at 3 am. At the base gym by 4:30, 6 days a week. Weekends I have a 24 hour gym i go to since base gym is closed. For weekdays, I shower at the base gym and i am in the office by 6:45. It's all a matter of discipline and dedication that you'll make the time and not "nope out" of lifting. It could be before work like me or after.

(a not so humble brag for a point) Hopefully, you'll be upping your weights, I am touching 55 years old, 5-9 and bench 10x10x5x5... 250 lbs (270 - 2 rep max), squatting 325 with fucked up knees. Stopped deads at 300 for the moment. You should be increasing weights in 5x5 by 5 lbs a session.

Stop resting on the bench, get up and pace in front of it.
