1 month, no barbell access :(

So, I work on a college campus and have access to a nicely stocked gym that only staff members are allowed to use. The open hours are rather limited, the equipment is older, but I get the place nearly to myself in the early mornings, so it's quite perfect.

My routine has changed in the last 6 months to include primarily barbells. I do a modified version of Stronglifts 5x5--basically I incorporate those exercises along with whatever else strikes my fancy. Lately I've been adding in hip thrusts and clean & jerks for additional barbell work.

During the month of August, I won't have access to this gym (it will be closed). I do have a membership at Planet Fitness, that I really don't use right now, but I'll have to make it work for the next month with only regular weight machines, a cable weight system, dumbbells and smith machines.

Any suggestions on what I can do in the mean time to keep up my strength? I'm worried that I'll have to majorly de-load once I get back into my gym in September.
