  The key to making a schedule like that work for you is not as much what you do on the road as it is preparing for the time away while youre at the gym.  Use volume accordingly, if youre going to be gone for a week at a time, make your squat workout prior to leaving account for that.  Plyos are easier since you can still get some work in there, but you can make a lower body workout done on monday take until the next monday to completely supercompensate from easily if you plan it that way.

 I like single leg pogos for max height in a situation like you describe, I feel like they can also maintain strength if done with enough intensity.  The other stuff you listed is fine, but I would make it a priority to figure out what kind of volume and loading you need so that you can plan to be recovering during your time away from the weight room until you can get back in.  This will apply more for the shorter trips obviously, but you can still have an effective plan for increasing your strength and athleticism if you plan for it ahead of time.

I recommend getting 24/7 gyms. For instance, there are multiple Cardinal Fitnesses in Indiana. Cardinal Fitness has locations all throughout the midwest of the US. I used to go to this one near my house and I'm pretty sure a trucker lifts there late at night. That's where I got the idea essentially.

That way, whenever you arrive in a new destination, they might be open nearby. I say 24/7 because typically these are big chains that have multiple locations and usually have the correct equipment and tone of seriousness. Strip malls gyms sometimes work because they have free weight section and that's all you really need unless you're doing plyos/sprints.

Most of these large chains are only 10 dollars a month. So getting 2-3 is not a huge deal cost wise.

Just a thought.

good point, and i usually do try to do an extra hard workout right before a trip. unfortunately i'm going to be gone until almost july and i'm leaving tomorrow, so i really only have one more workout before i hit the road and then extra long to supercompensate and the decompensate. 

SL pogos are a good idea, i'm terrible at them so that gives me something to practice and improve on while i'm away. can even do in hotel room. will try to stick to something like this:

- warm up
- SL pogos 2-3 x 5-8
- jump squat + SVJ 2-3 x 3-4
- BSS 2-3 x 8-10
- SL RDL 2-3 x 8-10
- upper push 2-3 x 8-10
- upper pull 2-3 x 8-10
- core 3-5 x 10-20

will go harder or less hard depending on what i think i can get in over the following day or two. if time is limited, priority is pogos and explosive movements. jump rope and MR half tucks for conditioning on off days, and stretching/mobility every day.

good advice for the future, but i'm leaving today so that's not an option this time. next time(s), though.

i was not clear. i am going to be in afghanistan and then tajikistan. 24 hour gyms are not an option.

Now imagine your problem is getting into this pool. This is me trying to solve your problem LBSS
