[QUOTE="Airborne Warrior, post: 119523, member: 18250"] When bed-bound muscle atrophy is very significant within just one week. Conducting cardio, even by just thrusting your arms backwards and forwards during running would slow the process down in the upper body but obviously would not stop the muscles atrophying if they are not put under the stresses lifting weights provides. A once a week full body workout would be sufficient though it is all relative to your previous training regime and how much muscle you are carrying at present. If you've smashed the weights four times weekly for the last 3 years to get where you are it's highly unlikely that a once weekly workout would be able to maintain current mass as the body is put under less stress. Certainly hypertrophy would not continue. [/QUOTE]
