Vacation and not working out...
« on: June 19, 2015, 01:30:04 PM »
In the past there have been summer holidays when I was frightened to shrink away because I could not train with weights for the 2 or 3 weeks duration of the vacation. I wasted lost of time and fun doing push-ups and pull-ups and all kinda shit stuff.

Question: if you just don't do any bodybuilding training, how long will it take to see yourself shrinking ?
And what is a good preparation for that 2-3 weeks ?

All bodybuilders know with a 100% certainty that you begin shrinking immediately after leaving the gym for your last workout pre-vacation. The atrophy accelerates on the plane, in the hotel, in the pool, eating shit food, drinking, fucking your wife.

Face it, you'll be a 140 ib. twink with 14" arms when you return no matter what you do. So enjoy.

Or not.

That's a typical "it all depends" question. You won't lose that much when you eat, drink & sleep well and stay physically active.

In strength Maybe, but in volume too?

If you shrink after one or two weeks of a break you simply weren't meant to have any muscles.

When you mean volume, do you mean muscle size?

The first thing to go is the fullness. It's probably minimal but whenever I've had to miss a few days on the trot it feels monumental. Full blown mental illness.

Shrinking is one thing, but I suspect if you don't go to the gym for 2 weeks, you will lose some muscle, though its probably negligible.

Anyway.
I think a good way to prepare for a 2-3 weeks break is to really workout hard the weeks before vacation, plus to keep your calories up (doesn't matter if you gain 1-2 pounds of fat).
That way I do not believe you will lose an ounce of muscle in that period.

Where are you going on vacation that you have no access to a gym?  At the very least do body weight exercises and pack a TRX in your suit case.

If you are training hard then one week off will make you stronger and recuperated. Second and third could be a problem if you are doing nothing but eating like a pig and drinking alcohol every day.

To reiterate work out on vacation. Run both distance and sprints.  Find a gym and get a vacation membership. If you're vacationing in North Korea and you can't find a gym do body weight and TRX until you come back. The three weeks off from weights could be a blessing in letting hurting joints recuperate and you find if you do it right you lost fat by changing up your training routine to body weight stuff.
