Tips for Training While Traveling

Incorporate your gym seeking into your travel planning. Checkout the hotel gym and nearby gyms. You can often find a serviceable gym that has a guest policy. You might need to call the gym to check the visitor policy.

Pack and prioritize some equipment. Belts and other bulky items are not needed. Having a pair of shoes that you can both lift and do cardio with makes sense. You might pack some small things like liquid chalk, straps, or knee sleeves.

Plan your workout ahead of time. Intend to do at least something hard – get into that “worth it” zone.

Depending on the number of times you will train and decide whether you will do full body and a split. Fewer times means full body makes more sense.

Besides that, Niki and Andrew have some general tips and approaches they take:

• Mentally let go of the weight on the bar
• AMRAPs
• supersets (antagonistic or similar)
• burn out sets
• drop sets
• hard exercises that don’t require tons of weight (e.g. bulgarian split squats)
• bend these joints: knees, shoulders, elbows, hips
