A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

Spent the last 3 weeks traveling, so I got back into the gym yesterday.

What's your strategy for lifting weights again after taking time off?

I go back into my normal routine but lift much lighter so I'm not as sore the following days. Wonder if there's anything else I can do to optimize.

The only problem is externality pricing.

don't lift weights, never lose your gainz

Best mental strategy is to completely eliminate pride. 3 weeks off isn't so bad but give yourself the same time without self-judgement. Goal is to stay injury free

I’ll do my normal routine but lighter for like 3 days then go back to normal

Try same (or just slightly lighter weight) and do lesser reps. You’ll be surprised how much strength you retain.

Take 10-20% off the bar and feel it out. Don't overthink thisl

I've heard that keeping the intensity (weight) where it was, but dropping reps/sets lower is a good way to ease back into your normal workout
