    As Kuba said, it really depends on your current state, and also how you respond to fat loss phases
    But yes, it can be done

    I know most have said here to just enjoy your holiday without structure, but if you’re like me and genuinely just want to stick to structure and still enjoy the time there’s nothing wrong with prepping your meals. You can do that by cooking ahead and freezing for travel, or just buying a cook plate for your hotel

    Honestly you can just add in rest days and not train 6 days in a row. More like 3 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on 1 day off for a 7 day split

    If running PPL, I would have 2 rotations. You can still progress each session individually from the last!

    Do what you enjoy man. Train hard, eat right and you can still build muscle. Don’t worry so much about “optimal”

    I would just switch to upper / lower instead of full body sessions and see how you recover from that

    Just try one and see
    You can try dropping off a set of iso and see if that benefits your performance moving forward
    If not, then drop off a compound set and see what that elicits for you

    Set up a program for yourself, go in and give it all you’ve got. Don’t worry about the time, just the effort and intent

    Train hard and eat!
    Once you hit a point you feel you have made as much progress in a surplus as you can, then you can maintain for a bit, then cut down, then push up again!
