![“You must not be in banking 🤓”
My typical work/gym schedule is as follows:
Gym 5:30am-7:10am
Dedicated work 8:30am-7:30pm
Travel home & dinner 7:30pm-8:15pm
Urgent work (applicable most nights) 8:15pm-11:00pm
Critical work (sometimes applicable) 11:00pm-2:00am
Sleep the rest.
I only lift 3 times a week at 5:30am and the other two sessions are on the weekend when I have more time
If I do have multiple nights of critical work I may not get all 5 days in the gym but this is less frequent
At the bare minimum I will get three days of lifting from a protected Friday evening, a Saturday and a Sunday
The gym is what I do instead of drinking with friends or going out
It isn’t complicated but that doesn’t mean it’s easy

![Do you agree? What is your favorite gymwear brand?
Hear are my rankings:
HM: alphalete - my personal favorite but definitely more of a lifting brand not overall athletic wear. More for the gym bros and gals but the most quality of the lifting brands by far. Also christianguzmanfitness is an exemplary entrepreneur
5. on - fantastic brand but just not as well established in the clothing space but their shoes are great. I wish they made loafers I could wear to work
4. vuoriclothing - very quality still but I never find myself picking their stuff over other brands on the list
3. rhone - probably tied in quality with Vuori but cater more towards that old money vibe earning them a higher spot. They also cater to rich people sports like golf and tennis
2. lululemon - easily the OG luxury gym brand. They are so universal and every guy at one point or another dreamt of having a lulu mom wife wearing all matching sets that he bought her driving a mercedesbenz
1. alo - this brand is the same as lulu just better. Less mainstream and slightly more upper class. The three letter logo has easily replaced the omega symbol as a sign of status

![This career path offers many things but a fitness oriented lifestyle isn’t typically one of them. There are a few key reasons I am able to have a great career while still chasing my dream physique
Reason #1 - I want it enough to sacrifice what’s necessary. You need to make similar sacrifices if you want to achieve your goals
Do I have a social life? Not really
Do I go out often or date? Even in a relationship it can be difficult to find the time to go out or spend time together
Do I at least get enough sleep? Absolutely not. And no it’s not optimal but it’s what I got
These sacrifices create time outside of work for the gym and proper nutrition
Reason #2 - I implement the first reason consistently (e.g., discipline)
You can’t just do it for a weekend or even a month. This is a lifestyle that has persisted during my entire career thus far. Even before I broke into IB, I made these same sacrifices in college and during my internships. Safe to say, I have been consistent a long time
You have to see the long term payoff, but I promise you will see results sooner than you think
Reason #3 - I chose a firm that would still allow this lifestyle
I’m sure this is the reason you all have been waiting for. “You can only do this because you’re not at a bulge bracket bank” and there is some validity to that. Nonetheless, I see a lot of those same bulge bracket bankers choose drinking and partying over their health. And that’s because they don’t want the same things and that is GOOD! In the end, they are making different sacrifices for more 💵 and prestige or overall life enjoyment (in their eyes of course)
I work at a boutique firm and instead of working 80-100+ hours a week I work 60-80 hours a week
Have I stayed up until 2am working just do go to bed and wake up at 5am to finish a project? Absolutely, it’s the nature of IB, but my firm also doesn’t create false deadlines nor do they require a lot of face time outside of the 9-7 timeframe
You have to remember, everybody has different goals and aspirations. Whatever you choose to do, go after it with all your intent

It is so easy to compare, especially in the world of finance. Your success is your own and others failure does not determine your achievement
I bodybuild and work in IB for me. To push myself physically and mentally
It doesn’t matter how much money those kids in high school/college make
It doesn’t matter how much they weigh or how much they can lift
What does matter is how far you have progressed
It doesn’t matter what you are doing right now and will continue to do
It does matter who you are
So be a better version of yourself, not a better version of others

![Who would have thought being good at excel and jacked would be this much fun
I lift because I absolutely love it. I love the feeling it gives me, the health that it brings and the confidence over time
If I didn’t lift, I think I would be in a much darker place so I strongly encourage you to stay healthy, yes but also find something that you truly enjoy
Without a side project or goal that you live off of, as fun as it sounds, sitting in a chair starting at excel for 12+ hours a days will take a toll on you

![Real advice though ⬇️
I love helping the interns because I know exactly what it’s like being in their position
What I don’t like is when they ask me every single question they have instead of using their brain resources around them first
Google and chatgpt should be your first stop. Also, just sit and try to critically think about it. If you still can’t figure it out, I would be happy to help you out if you were my intern
The problem is that so may Gen-Z kids lack those immediate critical thinking skills (I’m Gen-Z too so don’t come after me)
Having grown up in an age with AI and google, they immediate just ask when they don’t know the answer to something instead of trying to think about
Anyway, if you want to impress the team as an intern, just try to critically think about the questions you have and potential solutions

![Meal prepping on the weekend is essential if you want to stay healthy In banking
Meal 1: ground beef, rice and green beans. Pretty straightforward. I end up topping this with zero calorie Siracha sauce before eating
Meal 2: Egg white muffins. I throw these into breakfast sandwiches on a bagel with turkey bacon and avocado
Meal 3: Ground turkey and rice. This is the most boring meal but it’s smaller so it’s more like a snack. Nothing to complicated
Meal 4: Chicken and rice. I actually use this to put into two tortillas with avocado, pico de gallo and a little nonfat Greek yogurt for a more interesting meal.
This isn’t everything I eat in a day but it helps me prepare all my protein and carbs for the week to stay on track

![As an Investment Banking Analyst and bodybuilder, I have learned a lot in a short amount of time…
1️⃣ No one is coming to save you
Everything you do and those results are your own doing. Whether it be recruiting for an intense career in finance or other field or maintaining your health, the results you see are your own. Circumstances may set you back but they should never be a preventative
2️⃣ being busy is not the same as being productive
In the wise words of Jim Donavan “if you want WLB, be good at your job”. He said this because working a lot is not the same as working well. You need to be efficient with your time. Hone your skills and use them to get things done more efficiently
3️⃣ Your physique and your position are reflections of your discipline
There was a meme that circulated for awhile that said a person’s true net worth should be calculated by their total net worth divided by their body fat %. While this is funny to think about it is absolutely true. There will be times when you prioritize one thing over another and that is totally reasonable as long as the same intensity is always used
4️⃣ Stop chasing motivation, it’s not coming
Motivation is truly a drug that you keep chasing but it frequently lets you down. You have to buckle down and do it
If this was relatable, comment the truth you agree with most and follow along for more

![I Lost 40+ lbs while working 60+ hours a week
My secret?
It was a combination of the following non negotiables rules
Rule #1: Always meal prep on Saturday/Sunday
Basically, in banking, even weekends can get swamped with work but most banks have at least one protected day. I know it sucks but use 2 hours on this day to meal prep breakfast lunch and dinner + snacks to stay locked in
Rule #2: Don’t lift on less than 6 hours of sleep
I lifted at 5am usually three times per week. I allowed two rest days for nights that extended past 11pm/12pm. Even then I still would have nights where I may not get those 6 hours if I woke up at 5 am so I would sacrifice a day at the gym to prioritize sleep. Trust me, this is much better for you in the long run
Rule #3: Get the most out of your weekends
This one would suck sometimes but weekends were for a different kind of work. I had more time so I prioritized preparing for the week ahead. Sometimes this meant doing absolutely nothing and trying to recover as much as possible and sometimes it meant hitting the gym as hard as I could because I may not be able to get there during the week. Find what works for you but don’t waste it
Lifting is what actually keeps me from burning out and staying happy and motivated, not the other way around
