coming back after a layoff

[Duck]

Whats up guys? I just started back lifting after a 5 month layoff. Before I quit lifting I was benching 275 for 6 reps. I just started back and I am struggling with 205. I mean I am getting like 5-6 reps with it. This is my second week of coming back. I have gained a little bodyfat so I am a little heavier than I was before I quit lifting. When do you guys think I will get my strength back?

I also have taken time off and am coming back from a layoff. It takes time and work, there is alot to do with muscle memory. But in all honesty no one can tell you an answer to this as it's an individual basis. Not to be a dic but I see that this is your first post and sounds alot like a newbie question. This is more of an advanced board and has alot of bright and down right intelligent people here. So you may want to take some time to look around and soak in alot of the knowledge. Good to have you here
