Programming question ( I have read both books)

Hey, Rip. Do you have any suggestions for additional modifications to this schedule? My schedule is based on an 8 day week because I’m a firefighter and work 24 hour shifts where the schedule repeats perpetually every 8 days. My training schedule is 1 on, 2 off, 1 on, 1 off, 1 on, 2 off, repeat. I adhere to this schedule because training on the days I’m on duty feels counterproductive seeing as I could be sleep deprived the entirety of the night, hence not recover, and training the days following my shift is difficult due to being sleep deprived. 3 weeks into NLP, 37, 5’11”, 195 pounds, SQ 250, BP 215, DL 315, 4000 calories per day. I will lose 6 weeks training in a year because 365 days/ 8 day weeks = 46 weeks. Thank you.

Example of schedule

1. Work 2. Off 3. Train 4. Work 5. Off 6. Train 7. Off 8. Train

As we have told firefighters for many years, you just do what you can. It's not optimal, but that's okay.
