give it to me straight, /fit/
I've been working out since I was 12 up until about a year ago when I had to stop lifting because I was too busy, which was stupid. I'm 19 now. I was squatting 405 for a double at 160 lbs, and now I am 180 and can barely get 2 plates for 8 reps.
tl;dr how long is it going to take me to get my strength back after not lifting for a full year? I feel like I have the strength of a complete beginner now

In my experience dealing with injuries and mono, it takes about half as much time as you took off to get strength back. Longest I've gone is 5 months though, a year is quite a long time for atrophy.

What, do you have a deadline? It doesn't matter; just train.
>>
>>39754734
ok. I was just looking for motivation because I am sad as fuck that I am back at square one

>I am sad as fuck that I am back at square one

Yeah it fuckin sucks, so worry about getting to square two; don't come to /fit/ and ask us to pat you on the back.
>>
>>39754791
could you give me a pat on the back?
>>
>>39754582
Muscle memory will kick in. Should be easier to get back to where you were.

Easier, however. Not easy. You still need to work, faggot.
>>
Why were you so busy that you couldn't lift at all? Never understood this. Even when I"m super busy I still manage to get one workout a week which is usually enough to maintain your lifts. Injuries are the obvious exception of course.

Anyways a part of it is mental. You'll get some crazy noob gains in the next 3 or 4 months. After that it'll get harder.

>>39754582

Returning from an extended delay is best done with a linear progression program. SS+GOMAD faggot.

Fun fact. Shane Hamman was the only athlete in that picture who could dunk from a standstill.

A lot of the "powerlifters" and "bodybuilders" around this board look like the far right guy too
