Ive just been offered a one month job working with a Magic show traveling New Zealand. Basically im going to be doing a lot of lifting and such but i will not be able to go to the gym at all. is there anything i can do to keep my muscle mass as it is or at least keep deterioration as low as possible?
yes, do some bodyweight exercises.
Pushups - try many different hand positions such as close, medium, wide, low, high, etc; as well as clap pushups, incline/decline pushups, and staggered pushups.
Pullups - try underhand, overhand, wide-grip, close grip, hands facing each other grip, one-armed (if you can), etc.
Situps - Try full situps (put your feet under something), side-to-side oblique situps, crunches to all angles, hanging situps (from a bar), incline situps and decline situps.
Squats - deep squats (ass to ground) while holding something moderately heavy (get creative!!), also try lunges, one legged squats, and calf raises.
Practical exercises - deadlifting heavy objects, curling things with handles, overhead lift of heavy objects, laying floor press of heavy objects, pushing a vehicle in neutral gear, swimming, biking, or climbing stairs.
