How to continue Base Building when travelling (no gyms)
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2016 3:51 pm
Hi everyone
I'm in my fourth week of Base Building (standard template) and will be going on holidays for the next 3 weeks. The country I'm visiting has a clear lack of gyms, which has left me in a bit of a pickle.
The se cluster I've chosen is bodyweight, so I can at least continue for one more week. But, I won't have access to barbells for week 6-...
What would you recommend to do in such a situation?
In my eyes there are 2 options
1) continue doing a mix of Endurance and SE sessions (with some reasonable duration and choice of reps)
instead of the HIC and Max Strength weeks
2) interrupt base building for the time being (with only few 30min Endurance sessions 2-3x a week)
and pick up from let's say week 3 once I'm back
Side info:
my upper body strength is very poor, to such an extent that doing push ups and inverted rows is quite hard.
I can only do 15 of those after each other before I need a break.
Maybe some bodyweight max strength routine would be good?
