    I have been on holidays for 6 days now and havent been able to lift my weights here or go to any gym. How do you guys keep your volume when you are away from your gym/weights for more than 3 days? I am doing push ups and lifting the bed :) but i still see my arms shrinking and my chest getting smaller. For the cardio, i run every day for 35-45mns plus 20 mns of swimming.

    I dont want to lose this volume as i was starting to feel ok with it. I know i can get it back after 2/3 weeks at the gym but would love to be able to do so while out of town.

    It seems a bit odd to me that you are losing it so fast... very odd.

    Maybe i am exaggerating but i dont have the same volume i do when i walk out of the gym, you know what i mean? Maybe it's not possible to maintain this volume and i do still have some volume (is that the right word?).

    Well, when you leave the gym, your muscles are swolen... hence why they call it a "pump".

    You can do more than just standard push ups while your away... there are so many kinds that work different parts of your chest in different ways. Do 200-300 of a variety of push ups in a night, and you will def. get that pump.

    Wide, one armed, military, dive bomber or dragon, explosive, slow, decline, diamond, deep elevated, wall... so many varieties :)

    I know one guy who's chest is huge w/out any weights. He does 1000 push ups 3x per week of misc. varieties. That is intense... 16" arms too.
