SSLP to regain strength due to detraining

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi coaches,

I had one bad week of not training, plus jetlag and lack of proper sleep. I was doing an easy 140kg for five reps on Squat with no problem. After these week, I got 120kg for 2 reps. Felt really crap. I just got weak really really fast.

I was planning on running The Bridge programm. Would you recommend to run an LP for 2 weeks or so, or just stick to the new program? Is there any general protocol you guys suggest to regain some strength, due to detrainig (so it seems to me)?

Thanks

I don’t think you need an LP and depending on the program that you were trying to run upon returning, you might’ve set yourself up for failure there. You’ll be okay in a few weeks and the Bridge is going to set you up better than LP.
