I’ve been cleared to return to resistance training about 4 weeks post op (hydrocelectomy). Before surgery, I was doing the BBM weightlifting template. Should I just start that template over, or do the last 4/6 weeks of the beginner template first as an on-ramp?
Thanks
Welcome back!
4-weeks off isn’t a long time for big changes in training adaptations, but the surgery complicates things because most people usually are way less active post-operatively (and understandably so). I’d probably start with a few weeks on the beginner program to make sure you’re feeling up to going back to the WL program. You’ll know after ~ 2 weeks whether or not you need some more remediation (beginner program) or if you can flip back.

Thank you! Not training sucks! So does being inactive like you mentioned. Looking forward to taking your advice, really appreciate it
