What to do if you can't go to the gym for three weeks

From what I understand cardio that isn't high intensity tends to make you lose lean muscle mass, while HI cardio minimizes the losses, you could run for an hour or burn the same amount of calories in minutes or even potentially seconds.

I would stretch and do HIC, just find a hill and blast up and down it until your depleted

Look up prison workouts. Prison inmates are by far the most innovative in coming up with ways to workout. Makes sense since they spend most of their time in a cell with no access to a gym.

Sometimes i even wish somebody would lock me up. Be a good way to get chiseled…no pvssy in jail tho

Due to the Corona virus, all gyms in my country are closed for at least three weeks. I can't even go to a shop to buy weights as they've been closed as well.

I've been making some great progress lately and dread the fact that it will all go to waste, so I would like to minimize the losses.

- Looking for programs that use your bodyweight to maintain your current mass as much as possible
- Diet advice (probably a lot of protein)
- No cardio?

Try Basement Beasts. Fantastic programs using bodyweight or bands. IMHO, heavy resistance bands are as effective as free weights with far less wear and tear on the joints

Order a pull up bar

Make your own bench

Download a free workout plan

Order a couple of dumbells

That's all you really need, I'm even considering just cancelling my gym membership and investing in more equipment.

Most gyms are always crowded and you spend most of your time just waiting to use a specific machine.

Order a pull up bar...

I agree with this mindset. It makes more sense if one is a beginner, to invest a few hundred into equipment if one has the space.
