    Why dont you work out outside the fresh air and warm sun will make it more intense and also refreshing

    Unless you are like me and have relatives over for 2 month visits you are not losing gainzzzz.

    If it is only a couple of weeks you will probably have to revisit the last weight lifted on each lift, but otherwise you are fine.

    Do some gardening digging, planting, laying patios- its like a good work out.

    Alternately if you have small children visiting, throw them around, take them on a piggy back hike.
    (Going up and down a flight of stairs a few times with a 7yo on your shoulders is really good for the thighs- ask me how I know :) )

    There are all kind of things you can do that can compensate. I get it though, your schedule is off and it's frustrating.

    Nice vent, h.

    (Had to edit the first word said unleash instead of unless- it was as though spell check knew I was into the beers.)

    I've only got a few more days to go. I think I'll live but on a bulk my body just wants to lift heavy stuff!!

    I snuck one in before dinner while everyone was upstairs. Don't tell. You'd be surprised how short you can make you rest times when you just wanna make sure you finish your sets! I had to bust through 4 sets of 8 rows with only 30 seconds rest on the last one (I only made 6 on that one).
