    I am on a Strict Program and will have to Skip Two Weeks. Don't Know What to Do

    I am on a very strict mass gaining program (BPI Big Arms 8 week program from GNC) and I am going to China for two weeks. Unfortunately, the trip is right in the heart of the program. What will happen it I take a two week rest period during this routine? Should I start over from where I left off? Should I begin again? Should I try to do body weight exercises in my hotel room?

    The program implements what they call near over training meaning each week you train you train your arms for one additional day. (Week 1: once Week 2: twice Week 3: three times etc. then you taper down) It seems very controlled.

    As you can tell at this point I am a beginner, but I am eager to learn. I know that the second paragraph is not very clear, but I do not have the program in front of me. Thanks for reading and I look forward to good advice!

    Why can't you just start the program over when you get back?
    Don't over think this. Life happens and you will probably be in this game for a long time. A 2 week setback is nothing.

    I would say to start over or back track 2 weeks from where you leave off to let your body catch up to the level that you were at previously.

    Since is a program dedicated to bigger arms, who cares?
    If you aren't doing squats, you're doing it wrong.

    Having a big tool box is great but it means nothing if you lack a set of standard screwdrivers and a hammer.

    The Pareto principle: 80% of the effects are from 20% of causes. All the other small details will only affect a small portion of results, 80% of causes will contribute to 20% of the effects.
