I doubt it will be that type of thing 100% of the time knowing the guy. It's simply coincidence that we're on the subject anyways. | ||

Most people have nowhere near the flexibility to do an oly squat. That's why it's easier to teach newbies to box squat. Most people you see in commercal gyms are just doing some abomination of a quarter squat. | ||

I would guess my shins/knees should be much closer to the bar, and I might be bending my knees too far as well. | ||

Birdie that's a pretty solid deadlift Sure but they're all at least an hour away for me. This could be like 5 min! My wrist is still messed up from volleyball so no presses and light deadlift and it was still hurting and getting a little swollen. Day 6  In other news squatted 225lb 3x5 for the first time since injuring my back. No back pain so I'll take that as a win even though my session felt otherwise worthless. | ||

Get powerlifting wraps, if you wear them tight enough you could prolly press without ligaments | ||

They are made for geared benchers so prolly the tightest around. My inzer ones feel like regular bandage now. Squat: 195kgx1, 160x5x5(ass to grass) OHP: 70kgx3x3(PR), 60x3x8 PBN 30kgx10, 40x8x2(PR) Fist push up/curl superset felt awesome, no joint paint is such a refreshing experience (and rare t.t) | ||

Can anyone recommend anything? A routine that I can do on the go? I know it will never be as effective as my current workout, but I want to stay in the best shape possible while traveling. I'm hoping to do a lot of hiking and cycling while I'm there regardless. I'll literally just have my backpack with minimal belongings and be staying in hostels and the sort. | ||

Try this: Jungle Gym or TRX If you can fit them in your bag they should offer you some additional ways to leverage your body when on the go.

The rest of that stuff will fall into line more easily. Sign up at a gym now. Now. | ||

I think it's zatic that's mentioned his gym exists in a ton of different cities all across Europe. Look into the most far reaching thing you can find (the Europe equivalent of 24 hour fitness or LA fitness I guess) that has a global membership, so you can just drop in to that gym if you happen to be in a city that has one.

I would end up ordering once a week or so, when I had cash but other than that it was easy enough to keep myself strictly to it if I had a "reason" like that. Then I got poor and decided all I could eat were soup, PB&J, and eggs & bacon. | ||

Enjoy your time and resume lifting after. | ||

Going for any reason in particular or just fuck it and explore the world? | ||

Is cardio totally out of the question for you? My parents are runners, and every time we got to a new city while on vacation, my parents would put their bags down in the room, change, and go out for a run immediately. While they were out, they'd scout out restaurants and interesting things. That aside, you can never go wrong with bodyweight exercises if you don't have access to a gym while traveling. Lunges, squats, push ups, dips, planks, burpees, mountain climbers, etc. Shit, even just doing some sun salutations at the beginning or end of a run might do it for you. They're not everyone's ideal work out but if you're just looking to stay in shape for a few months while you're out of your normal routine, you don't need any equipment for them and you can do them anywhere. Here's some stuff you might want to commit to memory if you're interested. | ||
