after 10 days am going to my place in syria and there are no gyms at my village, but i have a barbell there. I can lift the barbell for bench press for like 20-30 times, will this keep the shape of my muscles or there will be defect in there shape if i use very high reps??(am going there for 2 weeks)

Believe it or not high reps with a lower weight such as a barbell will help increase definition and shape especially in the muscle area that is worked. So basically, low reps will not hurt muscle shape; if anything it will help it.

Definition comes from low bodyfat, not reps.
Muscle shape is depended upon genetics, you can build muscle but I don't see re-shaping is possible.
