Hi,
I’ve beenbeen unable to train at a gym since march 18th and my gym just announced it will reopen on the 1st of june. I’ve been working on your at-home template, and am on the last week of my first run. I plan on restarting it with different movements, but transitioning to training with weights as soon as I can, so two weeks into int program. I assume this is reasonable, but please let me know if there might be a smarter approach.
So which program should I run when I get back to the gym. My main goal is strength, and I was going to pick up your powerlifting 2 template when the gyms were closed. I was working on legacy 4-day hypertrophy at the time, as life was pretty hectic for me at the time and I felt I needed a break from the tonger sessions involved in most strength oriented programming, but still wanted to spend more time training than I suspected a time crunch template would have me do.
Would jumping right back into training 4 times a week at relatively high volumes be a bad idea? Should I take a more more careful approach with something like strength 1 or the beginner template, or should I just jump right into powerlifting 2? For what it’s worth, I will have plenty of time to train in june. If spending more time at the gym will help me get back uptup my previous level of strength and past it faster, that’s what I’m going to do.
I’ve also thought about starting with some sort of a pivot block or something along those lines, and then doing PL2. I don’t know how to approach that though - how long should it be, and what kind of stuff should I focus on? I assume Alan Thrall’s advice from the youtubes is reasonable, but would like some clarifications - if this is indeed the best option in this case.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
