Man, I don't know how it is anywhere else in the mid-east, but in israel, where I live, there are TONS of gyms! Even if you're not looking for one you'll trip over it!

Man don't worry, in the middle east there are lots of gyms

I met a guy in the american army in south korea, he told me the best gym he had ever been to, is the gym in kuwait, where he was sent for 2 years.Don't worry its not all tents and camels as you might think

You also don't need to go to Israel to workout, its already too dangerous there

Peace

you can salvage equipments from abandoned terrorist camps, like monkey bars and jungle gym....

hahaha peternorth, too much cnn for you kid

I was worried about the gyms too, but they got really good gyms there. I recommend u to bin laden, he is a very good trainer, but that is only if you could find him

haha jk

there are lots of gyms there, they got enough stuff for the US army!

peace

throw down your nukes
your boxcutters
your assult rifles
and your curl bars muthafuakas!
that was funny peternorth

I dunno about size but if your looking to maintain strength (wich will make regaining lost size easyer) look into some isometrics
all you really need is your own body to do a great many of them
just be sure to do about 3 different angles for each muscle
hope it helps
