You need to lift, whether you are able to train productively over the next 7 months is another question but you need to do your lifts even if it's a couple of times per week so you don't completely detrain and set yourself back more than necessary. Hell, if you have to leg press because they do not have barbells in the gym, then you may as well do that. Anything so that you aren't sitting around excessively detraining.
