Depending on how heavy you were lifting, you should be able to get back to your old strength by dropping the weight significantly and working back up to it over a few months (maybe do something like Starting Strength).
- noodle 7y agoNot very heavy, but I was and am still doing Phrak's GreySkull LP. I have been working back up to it that way, but consistently plateauing at about 20% below my previous peaks. I do plan on changing my diet once I'm at a place I'm happy with to be a bit more friendly towards weightlifting goals.
- rangibaby 7y agoThat looks like a good program. Another thing I personally started when I cut most carbs was taking creatine, IDK if it's placebo or not but I believe it helped me get those last few important reps
- noodle 7y agoYeah, I'm pretty happy with it. It isn't perfect, but it fits my goals and limitations due to injury fairly well. Due to other sports, my lower body has always been stronger than upper, and this program focuses a little bit more on upper vs other comparable programs like starting strength. Helps me play catchup
