So... 3 week old twin girls. hurricanemama is staying home with them, while I go to work.
Usual workouts were Stronglifts 3x5 in the garage. Workouts could take up to 2 hours, due to needing 5-10 minutes between sets. SQ 425, BP 235, ROW 235, OHP 160, DL 385
Feeding schedule right now is: 7a, 9:30a, 12p, 2:30p, 5p, 8p, 11p, 3a
Both girls on the same schedule, and mama is letting me sleep through the 3a feeding so I can function at work. (We've had a grandparent available to help with night feedings so far, takes 45 minutes with 3 sets of hands to bottle feed two kids and for mama to pump).
Right now, I'm staying up until 11 to give mama some uninterrupted sleep from after the 8p feeding until 11p. We both get to bed about midnight, and I sleep until the 7a feeding, then off to work, and try to get home by the 5p feeding.
5p-8p is the only time mama and I are both home and awake together, outside of feeding times. Try to squeeze dinner and a shower for mama into this gap.
I can't stay up until 11 if I'm going to get a workout in before work. I won't give up the only time I've got with my wife after being gone all day.
Any newborn dads (or moms) have any suggestions? Anyone have a stronglifts-style workout (that's the equipment I have available) that breaks down into smaller time periods?
