Template Question/Returning Gym

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Good afternoon, have not lifted since June 17th when I welcomed my 1st son to the world. Prior to that I had completed All three phases of the beginner template, as well as Power Building 1. Made great progress on all lifts. I bought the time crunch template anticipating a time crunch as a new Dad. Ran it for a week prior to his birth, and have not been able to lift since. Going to get back to it this week, as not being able to train is killing me.

I think the typical recommendation in my scenario would be block 1 of the beginner template. Was wondering though, since time is still my biggest barrier to train, if the Time Crunch Template could also work as an on ramp/ re-entry point. If not, any modifications that could be made to it, or possibly to the beginner template to get time down?

Thanks so much,

Matte,

Congrats on the newborn. How exciting!

I think the time crunch would work in your situation. Alternatively, you could split PB I up over 4-5 days to spend less time per day in the gym. I don’t think you need to do much besides do the intro week, which is low stress.
