Optimize Bartending Energy – Late Night Work Outs!

Bartenders need their energy to peak between the hours of 11pm and 2am. These are the busiest hours in most nightclubs across North America. The nightclub I work at is one of Vancouver’s hottest spots, so we’re very busy Thursday – Sunday. The act of working 4 nights a week into the early morning hours at a high energy pace will train your body’s energy to peak between these hours. However, if you’re only bartending 1 or 2 nights a week, there are a few tricks I’ve learned over the years to prepare for big nights.

1. Play a late night organized sport. The guys at my nightclub meet every Wednesday night for an 11 pm game of roller hockey. Exerting yourself all out in a sport like this at this time improves your cardiovascular health, but will also make you more agile working beside several other bartenders in a cramped bar area. I also find that sports like this make it easy to maintain your abs and tone for all those nights you plan on ripping off your shirt.

2. Hit the gym an hour before it closes. My gym closes at 11pm, so more times than not, I’m in there at 9 or ten to do my late night workout, once again to get my body used to exerting energy late into the night. If this is not possible for you, just make sure you avoid early morning workouts, especially on days that you’ll be behind the bar. You’ll be so exhausted by the time rolls around to start your shift that you won’t last long in the industry.

3. Do I really need to say it? Late night sex - nothing is more fun. Have some great sex when you’re going to bed pretty much as often as you can get away with it. Make sure you do all the work. Mix up the positions, but I definitely recommend finishing with a five minute doggy style pounding, standing in front of a mirror, or kneeling on the bed. My other favourite way to finish is to have her lay with just her shoulder blades and head on the bed, and hold her up by her ass with legs over your shoulders, and do the jackhammer! If you last five minutes at any of these finishing positions, you’ll be sweating and know what I mean about sex improving your late night stamina.

Mix it up, or try two together (a workout followed by sex is great). You’ll be in ridiculous shape, and your energy will soar every night you’re behind the bar.

    Just wanted to say thanks for the tips!!! I finished an state acc bartending school with intents of making decent money and going back to college. I have been looking for work for the last 4 weeks and as you stated, it is probably worse to have taken it than not! I appreciated what I have learned, but I am affraid that most probably laugh. So, I have decided not to mention. I wish to work in a club for several reasons that you mentioned, but in addition to that, I am more comfortable there and sincerely enjoy watching people have fun!!! Thanks Again for the tips and hopefully this will be the week for even bar back!!! ;)
