Coming back from a long layoff is oh SO depressing and you feel like a pansy!! But you gotta expect that. I've found it is best to prepare for it, know you're gonna go in there and feel, look and lift like a shemale and just get through a week or two's worth of sessions as best you can without beating yourself up.

After two weeks, your strength will start jumping back up and you'll find your rhythm. Then you'll need a NEW dress! IronMike

Most of the time you will find it benefical to take a couple months off...all those little aches and pains seem to go away...and in time you will be as strong if not stronger than before.

I hear ya on the looking like a pussy...but hey try and go at the times no one is there. then after 3 weeks, you can start to hit the normal time when all the people are there.

im battiling this myself. The biggest progblem is im not ready to go back 100% yet, so I know the worst is yet to come. Im too broke for even a test maintence cycle, and crashing is not your most motivated time to lift..

you have no clue....

try taking off 11 months then coming back. Then only lifting for about 3 months and having to take off another 5 months just when you got back into the swing of it and you start looking good again, your strength was back up and something fucks everything all up so you have to take more time off. Talk about depressing thats my situation. Been back for only 2 weeks now and have only had enough time to work out probably 5-6 times in the first two weeks do to my busy schedule. I have a lot of work cut out for me the winter.
