Cardio and sleep cycle on CBL?

[AirPowered]

Hey all.So I have a theory, that my work hours and bicycle are halting my progress.I work shift work, meaning the hours change every week. Week one: 7am - 3pm. Week two: 3pm - 11pm. Week three: 11pm - 7am. And then it starts over. I never get to sleep at the same time each week, and never sleep the same amount of hours. Not good, right?Also, I ride my bicycle to work every day 5-6 times a week. It comes to about 45-50 min. of moderate pace cardio a day. I'm thinking that this might screw with CBL aswell?So in fact, I'm wondering if I'm better off doing a modified carb nite, instead of backloading 3-4 times a week?Any advice? 🙂

I doubt the bike is cause issues, however the sleep could likely be the cause.

Yeah, I think maybe you're right.I'm seeing fat gains on CBL, even with minimum carbs and only for 2 hours post-workout.Gonna switch back to CNS, and try to gain what I can...  ::)

Yeah, sleep will totally mess things up in all aspects of life..Check this recent thread that had the same base inquiries:http://athlete.io/forum/index.php?topic=16991.0
