I think that doubling the workout before the vacation can be benefitial...the muscles will be stimulated so much, and the vacation will be the rest period in which you will build up again...but..are you telling me that you will spend the vacation eating the right type of food? aren't you gonna eat all junk and have very little sleep so not to miss the fun? If you can do that, then it's great, but I think you will ruin the vacation..Just an opinion

When I went on vac. I missed working out. I did dips, crunches but it wasn't the same. Definitely stick to good nutrition. As Mr. Olympia suggests, get your rest!! I was glad to get back to my routine but I did enjoy the vac. Have a good time and come back!!
