I'm going to be studying abroad in Europe for 6 months and will not have access to a gym. Currently, I lift 4x per week (mostly compounds with free weights) and run 6x. I can still run, but what should I do for lifting? Ive worked hard to achieve a level of fitness and dont want it to all be ruined. I'm considering getting a TRX Suspension Trainer. Any ideas?

Go have fun in Europe for 6 months and come back and lift weights. Go running, go hiking, get a bike; there are a bunch of ways to stay active while your gone. If you insist buy a pull up bar and try to do one more pull up each day you are there. Enjoy yourself, life is too short to worry about missing a couple of months of weight training.

Stick to the basic bodyweight movements. Pushups w/ different hand placement, chair dips, squats, lunches, etc.
Current Max:
Bench: 350
Squat: 465
Deadlift: 500
