No gym available for 3 months. Best way to maintain strength/size?

CM24 · 2014-10-20 08:30:52

So I'm in Australia at the moment but the little town I'm working in for the next 3 months has no gym and I don't have a car. All I've got is a playground with bars and some pretty strong resistance bands. I'm going to try work out 3 times a week. I'm trying to think what are the ''heaviest'' exercises I can do. One arm…

So I'm in Australia at the moment but the little town I'm working in for the next 3 months has no gym and I don't have a car. All I've got is a playground with bars and some pretty strong resistance bands.

I'm going to try work out 3 times a week. I'm trying to think what are the ''heaviest'' exercises I can do.

One arm chin ups (assisted with a band or my other hand)
One arm push ups (other hand out to the side and slightly assisting)
Handstand push ups (Got 6 full reps on my first set)
Inverted rows
Muscle Ups
Haven't found any even bars to do dips on yet.

Pistol squats
High Step ups
Can't do calf raises because of a foot injury.

Anything else worth doing? I should note that I'm mainly training with aesthetics in mind. I don't particularly care about being able to do front levers and handstand walks and all that.
