I totally get the struggle, travel can really throw off your routine, especially with pole-specific conditioning. I usually try to focus on a mix of bodyweight exercises and resistance band work since those are super portable. For example, I’ll do planks, push-ups, V-ups, glute bridges, and banded pull-aparts to keep my back and core strong. Adding dynamic stretches and shoulder mobility drills before and after really helps prevent those lat pulls you mentioned.

When I’m staying somewhere for a few days, I also try to scout the hotel gym or even book a place with a bit more space. Recently, I stayed at 8 Pax Antara Genting Suites by Silaslee while on a short work trip in Genting Highlands, and the suite had enough room to roll out a mat and do a full resistance band session. Plus, the small hotel gym allowed me to hit some cable rows and dumbbell presses, which were perfect for keeping my back and upper body ready for pole.
