I recently took off about 2 1/2 weeks from lifting and upon return CHANGED up my routine without cutting back the reps OR the weight from the previous session. Mon: Chest and Back, medium cardio; Tues: Recovery; Wednesday: Legs and hard cardio; Thursday: recovery.....Legs were really sore, Friday: legs sore! Played Golf, Sat: Legs still sore! Played golf. Sunday legs still sore.
By MONDAY legs were ok back to normal workout..
Lessons learned!
1. After 2 1/2 weeks off we feel great,
2. But should cut sets by eliminating the top weight set during the "comeback" week.
3. NEVER start a new routine after being off for 2 1/2 weeks
