someone else said it on here b4 but, dont try to impress people you are never going to see again ya know. i would just hit it hard b4 you go, and b4 you hit the pool or whatever hit a set of 100 crunches and do some push ups. get pumped and walk out. Or do the 8 week cycle. But dont run anything else you will regret it for sure, it will be hard to stay disciplined on the boat. If you hit a long ester cycle you may do more harm then good.
