Lifting again after a short break
Quick question... I've been sick this whole week so I haven't been lifting at all. I'll probably still take off a couple of days because I feel pretty crappy but I'm wondering when I do start lifting again, what percentage of what I was lifting before should I start at? Obviously, I should do what I'm comfortable with but it would be nice to have some sort of starting point so I'm not experimenting the entire time. ;)

If you've only taken a week off, and I'm assuming you've been lifting for more than a few months, you should be ok at the weight you were lifting. You might feel weaker and maybe do less reps. You might feel more sore the next day, but as long as you know your limits - what it feels like when you're over doing it - you should be fine.
I hope you feel better soon. |

Thanks for the help. I ended up waiting 10 days because my body ended up taking for ever to get over this. Anyways, I was able to do the workout just as before and actually probably could've gone up in weights. I even ran a mile afterwards. :D Oh, and now I've lost an inch off of my waist. :carrot:
