I am returning after a break
Goals
After a break, it is best to return cautiously. The initial goal is to rebuild routine, not make up for lost time.
Recommended steps
- Start with less volume than you think you could handle.
- Avoid very intense sessions during the first week.
- Use a conservative FTP if some time has passed.
- Prioritize consistency and good sensations.
- Increase load progressively.
- If there was an injury or medical issue, follow professional advice.
