Gyno surgery ... 5 weeks no training ... how bad?

[Bigmac]

I'm probably having gyno surgery this summer. I won't be able to lift weights for 5-6 weeks. How bad will this be ... muscle/stength loss wise?

Who has gone this long without working-out?


Give me your opinion / share your experience.

Depends on how developed you are I would imagine. I know for me if I take two weeks off my strength drops a lot, but it comes back instantly. I am sure though you will be a much happier person once the surgery is done, and won't have an issue with training a bit harder to regain strength.

1-2 week breaks are okay, but a month and a half is a long time.

However, getting rid of gyno is probably more important.

I couldnt lift for almost 2 months, I had complications thou. But I have heard 2 weeks is the norm

agreed. 5-6 weeks is quite a lay-off, but, for the time itl take you to get your size and strength back, its well worth it to get rid of gyno

5- 6 weeks .... normal gyno recovery is 2 weeks before returning to the gym
