Patterns are portable. Equipment is optional.

I built 4 travel workouts that hit all five movement patterns without junk volume.
Pick based on context: Bodyweight • Band • Bench+DB • Recovery.

Comment TRAVEL and I’ll send the cheat sheet.

Most travel workouts spike your heart rate… but skip the five patterns that actually move the needle: squat, hinge, push, pull, core.

On the road, stop chasing sweat. Train patterns.

Use this decision set:
- No gear, 20 min: 40/20 circuit x 3–4 rounds (split squat hold, bridge, push-up, row iso, dead bug).
- Gone 3–4+ days: Band session — 4×8 slow reps + 10s iso (squat, good morning, chest press, row, Pallof).
- Hotel closet gym: Bench + DB 6-4-2 clusters (five-move circuit).
- Wrecked from travel: Recovery flow 40/20 x 2–4 rounds.

Save this. Your future self in a hotel hallway will thank you.

None of these are extra drills. They’re just better ways to press, pull, recover, and progress—so your shoulder gets stronger without flaring up every week.

Bench setup → Overhead sequence → Dips mod → Built-in cuff work. Two to four times per week. RPE 6–8. Progress load.

Comment “PLAN” and I’ll map this into your push/pull split.

Most shoulder pain isn’t a “mobility problem”—it’s a force-angle problem.

Change the inputs, keep the gains:

• Bench: ~1.2× shoulder-width grip, elbows 30–45°, bar path with a slight arc.
• Overhead: Landmine → high-incline DB → OHP. Earn upward rotation first.
• Dips: Same muscle pattern, different angle (close-grip decline push-ups / low-incline DB).
• Cuff: Train it where it lives—scaption, ER at ~30–45°, rows that finish in a reach.

If you’ve had major trauma/nerve/night pain, get checked. For the rest: build smarter mechanics inside your training.

Which press currently gives you the most trouble?

I’ll pin exercises by bucket (scapular / cuff / thoracic) in the comments so you can match your fix.

Are you sick of chicken & rice?

High-protein doesn’t have to mean bland. Greek yogurt bowls, burrito bowls, noodle soups, pesto pasta, tuna salads—all 50g+ protein, under 20 minutes. Quick fixes only work if they taste good enough to repeat.
