10 days away and I actually felt fresher

About 12 days came back leaner and stronger

had to take a month off during COVID recovery honestly thought I’d be weak but within 2 sessions I was back to baseline and my squat actually improved

Had the flu and couldn’t train for 10 days. When I returned lifts felt lighter

I used to think missing more than a few days would kill my gains but after a 2-week layoff I came back with better recovery fuller muscles and hit new bests

I had surgery once and couldn’t train for a full month Surprisingly I regained strength quickly and actually came back stronger in some lifts due to the long recovery period

Two weeks off after a minor injury. Came back stronger probably because my joints and CNS got real rest.

One week deload strength came back better than ever

Took 18 days off after a nasty cold. The first session back felt shaky but by session two I was stronger than before
