Greetings, guys and gals!
First post here, but a longtime lurker. I've found the atmosphere on this forum to be excellent - professional, encouraging and inviting. Thank you all for that!
I would like your input on a bodyweight training plan for a recent trip I have to make to Eastern Europe. I will be overseas for 25 days with no access to a gym, kettlebell, pull up bar or even a trail to run on. I'll be quarantined for the first 14 days, so even running and walking outside are off-limits. Sounds like a mild prison sentence, but it's probably not going to be that bad! The only equipment that I know I will have is my body and my luggage.
That being said, here are my current training goals and my strength levels:
1. Pursuing Simple and am up to 6 sets of the 32kg bell with one-arm swings and get ups.
2 Working towards the one arm/one leg push up and weighted pistol with a 24kg bell. Currently, I can do a one rep max OAPU from a bench height of 18" and a pistol with 16kg bell. I am doing the 6-week plan put forth by Karen Smith for working towards the OAPU and doing pistols in GTG fashion most days.
I would like to do something explosive to mimic the swing, perhaps broad jumps or burpees? Not sure if anything could resemble the TGU, but I could always do them with my luggage, albeit at a reduced weight than a 24 or 32kg bell. I'll have plenty of time to devote to training, so I think the options are pretty broad, even in the context of bodyweight only.
Thank you for your thoughts on this!
