im an 18 year old guy - i weigh 70kgs and have put on about 12kgs in the last 4 months or so, from lifting weights and eating lots. i lift weights once a week - doing 6-10 reps a set, 3 sets an exercise, and 8 exercises a session. my muscles take anything from 3 - 5 days to recover, mainly depending on how much i sleep, also depending on how much good food i eat. anyway, im going to africa soon for 7 weeks, and im not sure how easy it will be for me to work out while im there - im gunna be camping a lot! in my experience ive been able to just about maintain the same level of strength and muscle mass working out every 2 weeks.so i wanted to know how long it takes for you to start losing muscle mass youve put on? and how often ill have to work out to keep the same level of muscle? (not necessarily to keep gaining muscle.)
thanks very much
