I was training for 2 years non stop and due to a working holiday of 4 months I had to take off, I never lifted a single weight.
I then went in to the gym a few days back to start again, but found out that I can't even lift three quarters of what I used to. I trained biceps and triceps as heavy as I could, and for one week I could not move my arms.
Today I just trained chest, and just don't have that muscle endurance I used to have. I was so dissappointed when I had to use poundages that I had been using 2 years ago when I was a complete beginner.![]()
Is 4 months lay off from the gym so detrimental?
and how long does it usually take to get back to "normal", and what could help me out and give me some kind of boost. Basically I don't have as much strength as I used to, but more importantly I have no muscle indurance.
It's so depressing to go back to the gym and see guys who were once smaller than me, bigger and better.
Help me out bros!!!!!!![]()
