Don't want to be rude, but some of you guys really worry about stuff that really are not that big of a deal. Really. "I train 5x a week, but I have to travel one day in the week to a super important business meeting, and unfortunatelly my hotel doesn't have a gym and I would have to skip an ENTIRE TRAINING DAY for this hobby of mine." Like, you do realize that you can break a week of training, mix together two days into one, even skip a week or so for fudge sake, it doesn't matter, you will not shrink, it's only a day in a week.
Just saw a post about a guy that wanted to know if it's plausable to do legs before upper in a ULUL split, since he will have to do mountain stuff and thinks that doing LULU would be better for that specific occasion. Again, don't want to be rude to the guy, it doesn't matter. The only reason that people do ULUL is that the first workout after the rest day is the one that you have the most energy, and is the "priority". But, then again, it's only for a week, hell, do it for a month, you will not see a difference in energy because it's still only 2 straight days of working out. In a year, it might matter, since leg workouts generally have some lower back action, and that might reduce *a bit* of intensity in the upper day, so doing it after the upper day would be smart. But it's only a week, dude. It's fine. It's not even your work.
Another example. You go to your grandma's house, and she made a delicious but not healthy at all dessert. Will you not eat it because "my macros" or whatever bullshit reason you think you have? It's your grandma, you are going to visit her in a month or so (maybe even less), she made it with such care, thinking that people will love it (and, granted, you know it tastes good). Chill a bit, forget your hobby for an instant, think about other aspects of life, try to enjoy other things in life, appreciate others.
Sorry for the rant. But sometimes you gotta improvise, break the diet, sleep a bit less. Just don't make it a consistent problem, try to not overdo it, and it will be fine in the long run.
