Starting Back Up!

[bigkid]

Hey fellas,

I wasn't sure which forum to put this in......I stopped lifting for about 2.5 months and i'm getting ready to juice up for the summer. It's been about 10 months to a year since i ran anything. My question is...should i lift for a few weeks to get the soreness out then start my cycle or start the cycle immediately with my workouts.

My cycle: 500 test/week, fina 75 eod

You should lift an eat right at least for a couple months first.

I would suggest at least 3 months of balanced workouts (Cardio and Resistance) and diet. Make sure you are in a good rhythm so when you start you can really push the pace. I lost 2 months after my mother's death and did just what I suggested and my last cycle has been my best.

Thanks guys!

you should make pretty nice gains just by training and having a sensible diet since it has been some time since you have been in the gym. you don't need gear to get in shape for the summer just a sensible diet.

well if i start lifting again it's not like i'll be breaking down more muscle than i would if i'd been training right?

[Shibby]

I don't understand your question

[bigkid]

in other words, i don't break down any more muscle just starting to lift as opposed to training for a year straight. i didn't want to start my cycle this soon and waste any test because i'm so sore that it takes a long time for me to recover. would it help with recovery?

[Shibby]

You'll waste the test because you will plateau sooner. Take the time to get back what you can naturally through muslce memory, then give yourself the boost.

that's the answer i was looking for... it's so tempting to just jump back into it though! thanks shibby
