I have 5 weeks vacation. I've been unsure about what to do with my training and diet. But after some consideration I think I will not be very serious about these things during my vacation and then get back to business after the vacation. Hopefully I won't lose too much strength and muscle mass. I think I might skip counting calories, but try not to eat below maintenance anyway, even though I have some gut after the bulk I did for some months before the vacation, but it's not very much so whatever, and I might go to the gym, maybe 3 times/week as before, maybe less, but might deload.How much strength and muscle mass can you lose in 5 weeks?
There's also a risk I extend this lifestyle after my vacation until the summer is over, sometime in October or whatever. Not sure what will happen. I don't want to go back to square one. I don't want to even be set back too much. Was initially hoping to just go on but I've kind of given up on that so whatever.
>>74614519>How much strength and muscle mass can you lose in 5 weeks?Probably not that much but more than if you can continue to do at least some training. I read a paper a while back where they got a bunch of guys to lift for 4 months then either stop lifting or massively reduce their training for 8 months. The group that stopped training lost a bunch of strength and size (obviously) but the group that kept training at just 1/9th of their previous volume was able to maintain almost all their strength (after a relatively small drop in strength over the first couple of weeks). It takes a hell of a lot less effort to maintain your gains than it does to build them up in the first place.
>>74614519Look up gyms where you're going and see if they do single days, or you could just buy a whole month.
