Going to travel through Europe this summer for 3 weeks with a backpack. I am traveling by train and then stay at hostels. This is my first trip ever and I am going solo too. How can I prepare in terms of /fit/ness? Like what exercises should I focus on in the gym? Should I do more cardio?
I am mainly visiting cities like Berlin, Prague, Bratislava, Warschau etc.

Hike with your bag fully packed, that will get you more than ready for your "backpacking" trip

>>76253081
I am not going to stay in hotels but in hostels because I have read that it's good for meeting people, especially girls.

>>76253108
FFS another one of those, just go hire a hooker instead of schlepping around 3 weeks for no pussy. Hostels are a complete shit tier places to stay, you will not get any there, and cities you mentioned, if you are as naive as you seem, you gonna get in trouble faster than you can find your hostel.
t. actual euro

>>76253108
so you're taking a vacation and you're just poor. that's not backpacking you fucking retard

I did this a couple months ago. idk skinny girls do it you don't need to be that fit. I'm already fit so maintaining gains was the hard part. I had to find a new gym once or twice a week to get in a maintenance workout

>>76253168
Yeah, I am a poor 25 years old dude. You can buy something called the Europass and then travel Europe by train. I am actually a NEET but I think traveling could be a good first step to get me out of my shell.
>>76253176
How much muscle will I lose if I don't workout once in those 3 weeks?

>>76253190
>How much muscle will I lose if I don't workout once in those 3 weeks?
How far advanced are you? I find training each lift once a week (I only do the big compounds) is enough to tread water.

>>76253065 (OP)
stair master, inclined treadmill

>>76253190
Enjoy getting mugged by all the peaceful migrants shitting up every single hostel.

>>76253208
I can lift 1/2/3/4 for 5 reps, so I am an intermediate lifter. Been training for 5 years now.

>>76253216
That's about where I was at. Just try to find a gym once a week. If you don't lift at all you will lose a little progress
Also if you're neet try to go longer than 3 weeks. Why not? It takes some time to get into the flow of it and then once you do you won't want to stop

>>76253190
aren't supposed to do this when you are fresh out of high school? Not trying to shit in your cereal, just wondering why you didn't do this earlier

>>76253224
>just wondering why you didn't do this earlier
Bro, I browse 4chan and am a NEET. I didn't do this earlier because I am deeply mentally ill of course, I have wasted most of my life until know. Only thing I have is a bit of money from crypto (10K) and I am /fit/.
>it's too late bro
Why not just do it instead of further wallowing in regret? Not buying into the whole it's too late shit because my life is already worthless, I can do whatever.

what is up with france

>t. never been to europe
>>76254168
Lot of people from former french colonies like algeria

>>76253065 (OP)
3 weeks is nothing, just return to the gym when you're back home or maybe do one session in the middle of your trip.

>>76254294
you just contradicted yourself

>>76254294
Algerians aren't black you fucking idiot, that's people from Senegal, Chad, Burkina Faso, Congo etc etc Algerians are Nafris.

>>76253168
That is exactly what backpacking is mate.

>>76254305
Relatively many compared to other european countries. Not to the US. Refer to this guy >>76253582
>>76254309
But algeria is a former french colony from which lot of people come to france and it was the first I could think of. I didn't know I have to be specific .

>>76254294
>t. never been to europe

>>76253065 (OP)
In Europe, you are expected to walk. So just get good at walking.

>>76253065 (OP)
first you need some dreds and shitty tats.
also make sure to get those big flowy pants, and a headwrap, it's very unique.
oh and you definitely need a $300 40L backpack.
and consider picking up smoking?
you know, like the locals (lol faggot)
you animals disgust me.

>>76254309
do you really think that I'm going to show you the slightest amount of respect by differentiating any of you? you're all dirty, filthy, smelly shitskins, no matter if you're a shtgerian or a congonigger, you're all the exact same

die hideously

>>76253065 (OP)
Why do they need those huge backpacks ? And why do they always carry them arround ? I don't get it.
Can't you just get a normal sized suitcase and leave it at the hotel/airbnb ?
When your clothes get dirty, just wash them, hotels and airbnb's in Europe all have washing machines and dryers.
You don't need to bring 5 kg of clothes.

What's the coolest thing to do if I have 1 day in Prague?

>>76253081
>>76253089
>>76253168
you're all fucking morons, what OP is describing is a normal way that normal people use the word backpacking. It has two definitions.

>>76256738
>Why do they need those huge backpacks ?
Most things you would take on an extended trip aren't heavy, but do add volume, big backpack often weighs way lass than it looks like. Walking around with a briefcase is not comfortable. You do not want to leave your shit in hostels and you still don't want to leave your expensive shit in airbnbs.

>>76256766
OP is right about calling it backpacking, i will still laugh at him for falling for the "backpacking through europe' meme and trying to get pussy this way.

>>76256748
Go to a brothel and drink local beer

>>76256794
>worried about someone stealing your stuff from airbnb
A landlord with a 500k euro apartment who's earning money from it, is not going to steal your laptop.
If you are that worried, carry your laptop and other tech stuff with you, they don't require a giant backpack.
I suppose poor people in hostels still might go after your clothes lol, which is why hostels are terrible.
Just sharing a bathroom with who knows how many people is enough for me to never consider it

>>76253129
>>76256794
You guys are idiots, including pussy on the itinerary is fine, acting like it's the only reason for such a vacation is as retarded as saying "why would you go to Europe for beer they have beer at home." Of course a motherfucker wants to sample the local cuisine.
>t. got laid in Germany and it was pretty fucking great

>>76256851
>A landlord with a 500k euro
A landlord... good one.
Here's how that works, you send out a bro to rent an airbnb for a day, you copy the keys, you get back there in a month of two when it's not available (smart people will change lock inserts from time to time to minimize the risk, plus the landlords crap is insured), door has no signs of breaching/picking and nothing of landlords shit is gone, try to report THAT. Code/card locks are not as common in most of the world anon.

>>76256877
>I am not going to stay in hotels but in hostels because I have read that it's good for meeting people, especially girls.
It sounds like he does make it a main goal, literally only two things mentioned is "how do i backpack" and "pussy". None of the normal questions like which parts to visit for a good experience and which to avoid? where i am likely to get played? how the transportation works? which cab companies to use? what local stuff to try or run away from? what is the safety/emergency services situation? You know, the basics of traveling a foreign country.

>>76256954
my guy this this is /fit/ not /trv/, he was just correcting the previous poster on the one thing they got wrong
>walk around cities
>on public transit
>stay in hotels
>eating prepared food
He's doing all of those things except not staying in a hotel. You're just retarded and don't want to be wrong so you're grasping at straws and missing the point. I'm retarded because I'm arguing with you on a japanese basket weaving forum. We're all fucking stupid.

>>76253065 (OP)
You're a fucking moron too, leave your backpack at the hostel and walk around the city. There's nothing to do at a gym to prepare for backpacking around Europe. The only possible answer is lose weight if you're fat. You're literally just walking in Europe.

>>76253108
Who told you that? Kek

>>76253108
>I have read that it's good for meeting people, especially girls

I hate people who "backpack" Europe. They're just too poor for a proper stay which means they're too poor to do anything in the dozen cities they go to, which means it's all meaningless.

>>76257021
>>76257038
/trv/ recommends staying in hostels and there are dozens of stories in the archives where they say it's a good way to meet people/girls. Don't really care about hooking up but I would like to take it as an opportunity to get out of my shell a bit and have fun/make a connection.

>>76257049
Just say you hate poors and be honest with yourself

>>76253065 (OP)
Most of my backpacking has been in the mountains but the best general gym training for that was just going ham on the stairmill, and also treadmill if you have any that can do a 30 deg or better slope.

>>76257062
I've stayed in hostels and it absolutely is a good way to meet people/girls and socialize. Ignore the retarded naysayers who've probably never left their houses.

>>76257017
>my guy this this is /fit/ not /trv/
Like anyone takes /fit/ seriously here, there are 3 fit related threads usually and the rest is autistic shitposting

>>76257062
They lied, hostels are bottom of the barrel places and people there fit the bill, it would work if your idea of "getting out of your shell" is sharing accommodations with trash.

If you think with your big head for a moment you will realize "dozens of stories" among literal millions of posts are on the level of statistical error and i bet most of those were by guys who can pull whatever but decided to have low standards in that moment. Get your head straight, backpacking is easy, backpacking with a dumb goal in mind is usually disappointing. The only tricky thing you will deal with is picking a backpack that actually fits so it does not become the pinnacle of annoyance by day 3.

>>76257062
Yeah that's not likely to work unless you're with other people already. But then again, every social gathering becomes a good place to meet people if you have a group of friends. People tend to be weary of the overly social loner who wants to make friends with everyone and for good reason. You're not getting into any pants like that.
