Vacation Maintenance Q's

Kabeetz

Banned
I will be going away for 4 weeks to Europe at the end of the summer I am in the midst of what has been a tremendously gratifying and effective cutting cycle. The last thing I want to do is let all my results go to down the crapper so my situation is as follows.

I will have no access to any gym facilities during the time.. and thus for the most part will be relying on natural strength exercises (pushups, pullups, situps running yada yada)

Am I better off doing a "total body" routine, if so, every day, twice a day, every other day, every third?

Or am I better off keeping my current 5 day split, and trying to at least maintain my strength in each group by going to failure with what my environment provides me (i.e. lifting jugs and cinderblocks for bis on bi day, try "benching" something heavy on chest day, along w/ pushups, yada yada)?

Do I maintain 6 small meals a day, or try to eat three healthy meals a day, watching my calories since it is likely too many calories will lead to fat gains?

What's the best strategy for incorporating liquor into the situation? I will be doing some drinking.. there's just too much of a party scene to deny it...mostly a lot of bacardi & diet coke I guess...should I skip/space out 1 or 2 of my 6 meals a day in anticipation of nights that I'm gonna have that late night calorie binge or should I just accept the extra calories and deal with burning it off in my cardio and mostly when I get back?

Your feedback is much appreciated.
 
When do you leave?

Are you in Greece?

Do you have any bands to train with?

Why no gyms?

I leave the beginning of August, I am going TO Greece, to a few islands, and the one where I spend most of my time, where my grandparents are from..is just a small beach front town with one main road of bars and souvenir shops and then just a lot of homes. As for resistance bands..I've never used them before..but that might be a GREAT idea.
 
I didn't realize you were in Cyprus...

I'm from Kefalonia.. and I'll be spending a couple nights in Zakynthos and either Xios or Lefkada while I'm there, cuz Kef just isn't what it used to be.

Hey, BFold, you were just on Sky TV over here in the UK. They were showing the United Strongman event from Serbia and Montenegro.

I could see your foot was still troubling you during the first event as you were carrying the keg up the steps. Sorry to see it take you out in the next event. Did you make the later locations in the series?

No, I did not qualify:( My foot is still in some serious pain...just trying to do what I can when I can right now.

Looking like it will be Slovakia in October right now...

I wish you the speediest of recoveries. Injuries are the pits where training is concerned.

I'll be looking forward to seeing you on the TV in Slovakia. Strength contests have generally poor coverage in the UK but I am seeing ever more 30-minute slots appearing. Good luck with your training.
