To Work Out or Not to Work Out? - SuperiorMuscle.com

BBAddict · #1 10-29-04, 08:33 PM

Alright, I need some opinions on an issue I've been struggling with. Here's what my next month looks like-
Tokyo for a week
Hong Kong for a week
Anaheim for a week
Boston for a week

I've been really working hard to gain mass-eating a lot and lifting hard. It's gonna be a pain in the ass to find a way to work out every week during traveling. What would you guys do-just do the pansy workouts you can do on hotel equipment, take a month off (

), or make the huge effort to try to find a gym to workout in at each location?

Any info on what you guys do when you travel or what you recommend would be much appreciated.

You can find gyms near the hotel, and for around 50 bucks you should be able to get a week pass. The eating is on you though. Your call whether you want to spend 200 bucks on gyms, and food. Good luck

yeah, it's gonna be spendy if I decide to do it. Another real problem is that when I travel for business, I'm busy with work for a good 14-16hrs a day. That means even if I do get to work out, I definitely don't get the rest/recovery time you should get. We'll see-I leave tomorrow-never been to Japan before!

A word of advice. Get a new job.

I've been trying to convince my wife to let me retire and just focus on bodybuilding! She said no way cause I already look gross! She hates bodybuilding body types-I guess she prefers the way I looked when I was fat and overweight.

I'll have to let her know she's being replaced-does Puddles have a sister?!

You shouldn't lose any weight and little strength if you aren't heavily overtrained as it is. Keep up your food consumption and you should be okay. I can take a month of easily and not lose size or strength.

Thanks stonecold,

When you say keep up food consumption, are you recommending consuming the same amount of calories as if I were working out or should I cut back approximately the same number of calories as I would burn in the process of working out?

just keep it where it is at. also and some people might not like this but I would use a steroid to keep my nitrogen retention high. This will help you keep your muscle and strength. well only use one if you are experienced and you don't need much just a maintenance dose. even if you aren't working out on it, it will still help.

Yeah, I've never used a steroid, but had been thing about it lately. However, after reading Bouncers thread this week, I think I'll avoid that route for awhile.

oh okay, I didn't know if you were natural or not. so you can ignore the steroid part. Just keep your food intake clean and good. You should be okay.
