what workout did you follow...

[crazyfacials]

when you had a long time away from the gym and wanted to get back to your old numbers?

 

5/3/1? sheiko ? upper/lower splits??

 

 

 

ps. I really hate the layout of the new forums

Depends on what your goal is an how long you had off. I wouldn't follow a template as your muscle memory etc might mean that numbers you put in at the start might be to easy at the end. I have always been a fan of the 5 x 5. Give you enough volume and frequency of lifting to get the strength up aswell as getting your lifting groove back.

Like bar brother said - your numbers might jump up. But I think that why 531 is a pretty solid choice becuase each cycle is short as and you can reassess that every 4 weeks with a max or estimate with a 5 rep max or something.

If its not happening like that for you then yeah 5x5 for the volume and frequency.

or the other way round

it also depends on other things like injuries or past injuries that could easily creep back if you jump your numbers up too fast from nothin.

I like 5x5 doing it at the moment coming back from injury. Only a week in but gives decent volume and decent load which you can steady progress with.

I just rtrain the same way but with low volume and gradually build back up to where I was.. you can do it CF!
