I remember at least one user works in the Yukon or Alaska, which is close enough
Do any user's work offshore? How do you stay stronk/Fit
AYAYAYAYYYYY
YAAAAA ALLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH SUBHANALLAH INSHALLAH
I'm getting my NDT tickets etc at the moment so I can get offshore, but my friend and my dad work offshore. Most ships have gyms, and the new ones have pretty decent ones. My friend sends me snaps of him having like 4 massive plates of food every day, so it's not hard to bulk. I'm assuming when you say offshore you mean the oil business

I’m a cadet at a maritime academy, and worked on a commercial ship this summer. We had a gym onboard, but it wasn’t great. Our sister ship had a way better one, but even ours had enough equipment to do my normal routine. Biggest thing was the lack of a normal bench, we had a smith machine, so people don’t get trapped under a bar if the ship rolls while lifting
People overestimate how much physical work it is, at least in the deck department. We had to drag the mooring lines, which are about 2inches wide, but as long as you aren’t a twig it’s not too hard.
It’s a pretty good job, probably one of the few industries you can make 100k straight out of college
I’m a year away from getting my third mates license, pretty sure most ships have gyms though
Which school, SUNY?
Cal maritime
Is it true that you guys lost your x-band radar going under a bridge this summer?
Flexing on these peasants
Nah, we lost our mast in Spain/Portugal when it hit a crane. I wasn’t on it this summer, but there’s videos on instagram
Word from other cadets is that the pilot and tugs weren’t communicating well. All hearsay right now while they investigate
Based, I’m at SUNY and when we were pulling out of our college the tug pulled out a chock, and then we had four people get beaten and sent to the hospital in Baltimore
Should have clarified, I'll be on offshore oil rig installations around 100 days a year
Former deckie here, pulling mooring lines or other hawsers is the best forearm pump imaginable. I liked kettlebells a lot when I was out at sea, doesn’t require much space and very flexible for workouts.
As a chemist
If you already have a job lined up, just email or call them and ask if they have a gym out of curiosity, I’m sure they do
Fuck man, I don’t think anyone’s gotten hurt while I’ve been here. We’ve got a big dent in the deck by the hawsepipe where the anchor chain broke a few years back and whipped around.
It's ad-hoc work, I won't know what rig I'm on until I get the call to mobilise
I'm less concerned about the gym as anything will do, just concerned about the food and sleep
I heard the food on rigs is fresh because there's boats every day
Lucky, people here get fucked up all the time
>fat kid fell on someone while wrestling and broke his leg
>Ualbany schizo kid who did shrooms on the ship and thought he was in hell
Not to mention a plague of alcohol offenses and the crackhead cooks doing their shenanigans. We lose a dozen people every cruise
I’m not sure what it’s gonna be like as a chemist, but we’re supposed to get 8 hrs of sleep as a requirement. Many don’t follow this rule but I think you should be fine. Do you need a TWIC card to work on one? If so, I would assume that the food comes from chartwells, one of the only companies that already requires TWICs for their workers. Chartwells has pretty good variety, and quality is often good and even healthy, since chefs have to eat their own stuff
Try going to /n/ and asking the maritime general
>Do you need a TWIC card to work on one?
I'm a bong so we need at least a BOSIET to step onto an installation
Will try this thank you
Ship engineer. Work in contracts (5-6 months) - each contract - new ship.
Had a gym with decent barbell 2 ships ago. Now is the second contract of doing bodyweight stuff. I should probably stop coping and stop going to the gym when I'm home, I won't get any stable progress doing bodyweight at work and lifting ashore.
