getting back into training in phases?

[Pacermyn]

Would it be a good idea to get back into weight training in phases instead of just jumping head first? The last time I took time off I jumped right back the way i trained before and was sore for 2-3 weeks, could not even move. if so how would you approach easing into it after a long lay off? my gym opens up monday.

I would take time off if you're sore and dont jump fast back in, slow it down. Make it slow and step by step.

muscle and body memory is real so that is something to look forward to. also to answer your question why do you think in pro sports they have mini-camp, training camp, and preseason before playing real games? why not just jump to regular season right away if that was supposed to be the right way. THINK ABOUT IT

You shouldn't be going balls out first couplecweeks back. Let your body adaot to the workload and start with lighter weights and add each week

Last time I injured myself I came back and set 60% as a starting point.

Come back with lower weight and less exercises to start. You will work back up quickly so don't stress about it.

After covid19 and almost 3 months off , I went slow instead of 5x20 I did 5 by 10 but with much lower weights to wake my body up and week by week i go a little further
