Maintaining muscle while traveling

When traveling, it is important to not stress about maintaining muscle as it only requires minimal effort. You can choose to do maintenance training, which involves reducing volume and frequency while still hitting each muscle group once a week. This can be achieved by doing fewer sets and exercises but focusing on hitting each major muscle group. Another option is to focus on stimulative training, where you push for progression. This may involve using analog exercises that target the same muscle groups or using intensity techniques like supersets, drop sets, or partial reps. It is also important to adapt to the available equipment and not stress about using the exact same exercises or weights as at home. The RP Hypertrophy app can be a helpful tool for modifying your training on the fly. Overall, the goal is to get a good workout, stimulate the muscles, and work towards your fitness goals even while traveling.
