Should you treat a return to strength training as if you’ve never strength trained before?
As you head back to the gym, your new routine should be based off of how much you worked out during. If you worked out five days a week, congratulations you are among the few! But if you didn’t exercise at all or performed one to two workouts per week, add in one extra workout per week for as many weeks as it takes to hit your goal.For example, if you didn’t work out at all over the past few months, do just one workout your first week back.
For additional resistance, starting at about half the volume you were at when you were in the gym before is a good place to start, Gentilcore says. For example, if you were bench pressing 60 pounds, start back with 30 pounds and build from there.He suggests selecting a weight which you can lift with 2 or 3 reps in reserve. That way, it’s heavy enough that you’re building strength but not so heavy that you lose your technique or compromise form.
