Let me start off by saying that my last 2years of training has sucked ass!
A 10year old herniated disc injury reflared slowly about 2years ago, the first year i could keep lifting and doing bjj but with some minor discomfort.
About 10month ago i blew out my back and was out for 5months from any kind of training except rehab, i wasnt it much pain but my whole core had shutdown.
My back felt very fragile and i was lucky i didnt hurt myself further, anyway i found a very good personal trainer specialised in rehab whp hooked me up together with reading and watching most of stuart mcgills stuff.
I also did some ART work and acupunture that helped me get my core firing up again.
So for the past 2months ive been doing very light lifting some light bjj training and daily stretching and core/rehab stuff.
Im almost back to good and my entire core feels more alive than ever, im still weak but i feel a potential in my core strength that really think can get me stronger than ever within a few years
TLDR:
Been out from blowed out back but feel alot better and im going to india in 6weeks for about 5months.
Question: I will bring whatever training gear i can carry for my entire trip and need some ideas how to get stronger while im there?
I have:
Stretch bands: 60,110,220 pounds + some light tubing
Jungle gym XT ( TRX copy but better since the bands are seperate like OLy rings, but the handles are like the TRX)
Grippers: 130,210 pounds (i Smash the 130 pounds with both hands but struggle with 210, can almost crush it with one hand but the other one no way.
Running shoes??
Anything else i could get that doesnt weigh much?
