Im currently on my last couple weeks of test prop, and im back home for the holidays. I currently have no where to work out for two weeks, and im still injecting the prop ED. Any suggestions on what to do? Should I just wait it out and hit the gym again in two weeks? How much will this hurt my gains? Thanks for all the help in advance.
Did you train extra hard before the holidays? Taking 6 days off in a row sometimes is good for your program, once in while I have to but then seem to gain better when coming back... you know changing your workout enough to keep fooling the body into growing.Quote:

Just might have to do more sets and reps but pushups can workout back muscles, arms, chest... do them on tippy toes and you'll survive the vacation away from the gym just fine.
No doubt. I agree. I go on many business trips where I find myself doing push-ups, sit ups (whatever I can) in the hotel room. Every bit will help, and the change of pace may actually help.
any other ideas to keep my strength up while on my almost month vacation?
First, I agree with what was said above. Last week was the first week in over 6 months that I took off completely due to travel. I am on cycle now. Since coming back my strength is up more than any 1 week improvement as well as my weight gain. SOmetimes you forget the basics like take a week off once in awhile.Quote:

Same here. My gym is down for a week. But ike most of the bros here say it doesnt really matter and in fact can help.Quote:
