ody is in need of a rest, and I can use some simple<br />

workouts for recovery.<br />

That being said, I have some quick workouts to keep<br />

me on track when I am on the road.<br />

For a pull workout, I will try to find some kind of<br />

pull-up bar. Usually I can find one in the hotel<br />

parking garage (make sure they are solid!) or outside<br />

on a tree or a piece of scaffolding or anything that<br />

might work. Then I will do 8–10 sets of pull-ups in a<br />

very slow, controlled, dead-hang manner focusing on<br />

the negative—<strong>com</strong>ing down slow. I might also do<br />

various types of pull-ups: chin-ups, chest-to-bar,<br />

typewriter, and countless other variations. If I need<br />

to get the blood flowing, I will do some burpee pullups<br />

and some gut.<br />

For a push workout in the hotel room I will do pushups—lots<br />

of them. Reps of 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20,<br />

10. Another variation is reps of 10, 10, 10, 10, 10,<br />

100, 50, 50, 33, 33, 33, 25, 25, 25, 25, 20, 20, 20,<br />

20, 20, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10. On top of that I will do<br />

some burpees—100 for time. And of course some gut.<br />

For lift day, I will do handstand push-ups, 8–10 max<br />

sets, I will mix in some arm haulers, some jumping<br />

jacks, arm circles, and of course … burpees.<br />

If I end up in a hotel room for squat day, there are<br />

plenty of options. One I like to do is pistols (onelegged<br />

squats) and jump squats. I will do 10 pistols<br />

each leg, then 20 jump squats; then I do 9 pistols<br />

each leg and 18 jump squats; then 8 and 16 right on<br />

down to 1 pistol each leg and 2 jump squats. Other<br />

possibilities are lunges, split jumps, mountain<br />

climbers, squat thrusts, and, yes, burpees.
