I use to lift with the college power lifting team 4 years ago. I got stronger than I ever thought I could be. Then my parents were killed and I let depression mangle me. Long story short, where do I begin again?
Is it possible that whatever strength I gained is gone now completely? I like totally had stopped going to the gym. I would just do light cardio and body weight exercises to try and fend off lethargy and depression.
Basically, I am lost now. People say read the sticky and then other people say stuff like "the sticky can miss lead you into doing dumb shit like SS".
What is the truth? What is the right way to proceed?

How did your parents get killed? Was it by niggers?

A drunk driver. They never caught the guy.
I guess it's in the past now but I would be lying if I said i didn't feel vengeful.
Separate from that, I just don't know what I am supposed to be doing. I walk into the gym with no idea of a routine and just do exercises i find fun. Which seems awful to me.
I like the idea of a disciplined routine. However, I am not knowledgeable enough to tell a good routine from a bad one.

Three main points:
1. Progressive Overload. Doesn't matter what it is, just try to do more or heavier weight every time you train. That as a general rule will always work.
2. Eat enough.
3. Sleep enough.
Those three things and you will make gains. Pretty fucking simple. Do compound movements to save time and maximize training efficiency. Add in accessories when you feel ready.

Sounds simple enough. Thank you. I keep trying to remember all the crazy stuff that the power lifters were doing and I am like half ass remembering it. I will take your advice and try to keep it simple with progressive overload.
