With that in mind, assume that I can't find a gym in the area (or can't make time), and all I have is the hotel work out room with dumbells up to 50 lbs and a bench. Now I know I can't train with this, but what can I do to stop, or at least lessen the de-training?
Upper body is fairly easy. Benches, inclines, and seated presses to failure. Bent over one arm rows with one knee on bench to failure. I can usually find somewhere to do chins. Anything else?
Lower body is a problem. I have NO clue if there is anything I can do to halt de-training. I mean I don't see how doing dumbell squats with 2x50 is going to do anything? Or am I wrong? Maybe goodmornings with a dumbell gripped to my chest? I've read maybe pistol squats but I've never them. Any ideas here?
Thanks
