Maintaining strenght with little acess to a gym

[Kärnfysikern]

From the 19th december to 14th janury Im going to be at my girls place in another town. The thing is I wont have any money to workout since all the gyms charge such filthy ammounts for training one time(around 12-13$). I might squeese in 2-3 workouts at the most but that right there is 40$.

Is there anyway to maintain strenght with bodyweight exercises like pushups and possibly pullups?

On those 2-3 workouts should I hit my entire body each time?

If you can afford it I would say do one full body workout each week with a minimum of Squats, deads and Bench. You shouldn't lose any strength. Just doing bodyweight exercises for an extended period of time always seems to throw off my strength when I get back to the weight room. If you do us pushups, pullups etc... I would do one handed movements to make it more effective or have someone that can sit on your back : ).

this is what to do, when i finished school i drove across the us for a month or so. i would do one weekly workout, doing press, squat and deads, much like the german block training or 3x3 that i post all the time.plus i did auxillaries, high reps to failure. worked like a charm, i watched my diet on off days did a little walking and i never even bothered with push up or pull ups and i didn't lose a thing, i actually may have been stronger.

sounds like a good idea. once a week workouts it is. Or atleast 2 workouts during the 3 weeks. I guess it wont kill me to lose a bit of strenght either. Hell its christmas In january cutting hell begins again so might aswell enjoy life the last few weeks
