December is a strange month. It’s a mix of speeding up and slowing down.

On one hand, everything feels busy. Schedules get weird. Travel picks up. Social stuff ramps up. On the other hand, there’s this natural urge to coast. To mentally check out and tell yourself you’ll “reset” in January.

The next couple of weeks are probably going to be full. That’s normal. But it’s not an excuse to let your fitness, routines, and standards completely slide.

Still go to the gym. Stick to your normal nutrition for the most part. Keep doing the things that make you feel good.

You don’t need to be perfect right now. You just need to stay in the game.

Here’s what I’ve got for you this week.

Hotel Gym Workouts | Stay on Track While on the Road

Since many of you will be traveling over the next couple of weeks, I wanted to give you a workout you can do at most hotel gyms.

The good news is you can get a solid workout almost anywhere, even with limited equipment. And honestly, hotel gym sessions can be underrated. Wake up early, knock it out, and you’re back in your room before anyone even notices you’re gone.

A simple three-day push / pull / legs routine is my favorite setup when I’m traveling. I love training, but I usually don’t train every day while I’m away. Three days of lifting is plenty if you’re on the road for a week.

Monday: Push

  • Incline Dumbbell Bench Press: 3 sets x 12–15 reps

  • Push-up: 3 sets x failure

  • Standing One-Arm Dumbbell Press: 3 sets x 12–15 reps

  • Cable Side Raise: 3 sets x 10–12 reps

  • Triceps Pressdown: 3 sets x 12–15 reps

  • Dumbbell Overhead Triceps Extension: 3 sets x 15–20 reps

Wednesday: Pull

  • Pull-up: 3-5 sets x failure

  • Dumbbell Row: 3 sets x 15–20 reps

  • Cable Face Pull: 3 sets x 12–15 reps

  • Dumbbell Shrug: 3 sets x 15–20 reps

  • Low Pulley Cable Curl: 3 sets x 12–15 reps

  • Incline Curl: 3 sets x 10–12 reps

Friday: Legs & Abs

  • Dumbbell Bulgarian Split Squat: 3 sets x 10–12 reps

  • Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift: 3 sets x 15–20 reps

  • Heel-Elevated Dumbbell Goblet Squat: 3 sets x 15–20 reps

  • Dumbbell Single-Leg Calf Raise: 3 sets x 15–20 reps

  • Hanging Leg Raise: 3 sets x 10–20 reps

  • Cable Crunch: 3 sets x 10–20 reps

Mindset

Train Without Headphones Once in a While

My headphones broke this week. And because I’m cheap, I haven’t replaced them yet.

Training without them for a few sessions reminded me of something: we have a lot of input and not much introspection.

Music. Podcasts. Audiobooks. Social media. Noise all day long.

Every once in a while, it’s worth stripping that away. Drive without the radio. Walk without a podcast. Lift without headphones.

Pay attention to your breathing. Your thoughts. How your body actually feels. You might be surprised what comes up when there’s nothing to distract you.

What I’m Into

Tying Up Loose Ends

There are about 2.5 weeks left in the year.

You know Parkinson’s Law? Work expands to fill the time you give it. Well, time is running out.

Look at the things you wanted to do this year. What’s still sitting there unfinished? Is there one thing you can knock out this week?

That’s what I’m trying to do right now. No big overhauls. Just closing loops.

This Week’s Podcast

Martha Salaya – Leaving Powerlifting and Building a Wellness Physique | EP 539

In this episode, I sit down with Martha Salaya and talk through her shift from powerlifting to the wellness bodybuilding division. If you’re in a season of change or rethinking your own goals, you’ll get a lot out of this one.

Final Thought

You don’t need a fresh start. You just need to keep showing up until one happens naturally.

See you next week.
