Which template after self-isolation?

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi Jordan,

I have been running the beginner template from Phase II onwards and just completed the 2nd workout of week 11 in Phase III today. I have been instructed by the Government to self isolate for 2 weeks as I have recently been in contact with an individual who has COVID. I do not have any symptoms.

My plan for the next 2 weeks is to run the first 2 weeks of the At-Home template. However, I am not sure what to do when I return. My options are:

  1. Run the beginner template from the start of Phase III
  2. Pick up the beginner template where I left off.
  3. Start Strength I

What do you think is the most appropriate course of action?

Sounds like you have a great plan overall. I’d suggest re-starting Phase 3, and then moving to Strength 1 when you stall on two or more lifts in that phase.
