Hey, so I'm a CA-1 (almost CA-2...) that really likes working out.
One of my goals is to become a NPC bodybuilder once I am out in practice.
I have found at my program it is not hard to eat ~4-5x/day. I work it so that I eat before I come in (5:45am), then on my morning break for 10min, then lunch for 20 min, then on my afternoon break for 10 min, then dinner around 6 or 7.
Quick snacks like turkey/chicken/steak pieces /veggies which are easy to chow down are what I eat on my quick breaks.
I am able to work out 2-3x/week without difficulty, as my call schedule is 5x/month at its worst.
Is it easier out in private practice? I want to work hard (like 60-70hr/week) and would like to take call once a week. I am interested in peds. A lot of the children's hospitals are offering nice packages for peds fellows (like 250-300k+) with benefits. The hours appear to be in the range I stated above.
Have any of you attgs done this? Jet I know you are serious into working out, but have you ever competed?
There was a bodybuilder/anesthesiologist in the past who did exactly what I wanted to do....peter fong....but apparently he got busted for drug use a while back, and went into obscurity. Obviously, the drug bust thing is not what I want to happen.
Not exactly related to anesthesiology, but I figured, what the heck.
Finally, I have a LOOONG way to go. I want to compete as a middleweight, right now I'm 5'7", 168 at about 10% BF. Would like to COMPETE at 190 to 200 lbs one day.
