Training schedule change, advice needed.

[haggis007]

Hi, first time posting so apologies if I have posted this in the wrong area.

Basically I currently train 6days a week, eat clean and cycle relatively low dosages twice a year.

My question is due to work I am going to work away from home for 10 days and then home for 5 days and repeat for the considerable future.

Worst case scenario and I can't train at a gym whilst away due to being in the middle of nowhere in Scotland then I'll try body weight exercises and cardio when I'm away then hit the gym hard when I'm home for 5 days.

So I'm wondering if any of you guys have done something similar? How did it go, did u progress or kinda plateau or lose strength/mass/definition? Also would it be best to switch up to more strength training routine of heavy weight low rep 4-6 reps intense sets when I'm home or keep it to hyper trophy training and higher reps 12-15 slightly less weight.

I also plan on cycling low dosage and seeing how it goes even if I have 10 days off the gym at a time. any info advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Jay.

I've done a lot of body weight exercises when traveling, during the times when I didn't really feel like taking the time to go to a new gym for 3-4 days. But I guess I've never been in a situation where I was away for 10 days, then home for 5 on a consistent schedule.

In my experience, switching to body-weight exercises was a nice break from lifting heavy in the gym. But again, I haven't been gone on a consistent schedule like you're going to be. If you absolutely can't find a gym nearby, I would definitely do some heavy weight/low rep sets at home if you can only do body-weight exercises for 10 days.
