Haven't been to the gym in about a month, due to a re-location and some other life events
before the move my 1RM's were as follows:
ohp: 190
bench: 275
squat: 445
diddly: 470
going as a guest with my buddy today to get a feel for how much my numbers have potentially dropped
is there a certain way I should go about doing this?Spend more time than usual stretching/rolling? As far as the lifting, I was just planning on feeling out each lift, with maybe 35 lb jumps until about 90% max effort, then resetting my training max based on that
thoughts?

Just start at about 80% your usual weight and feel it out. I took about a month or a little more off at one point and my lifts dropped significantly. I wasn't eating right either. As an example I was able to hit 10 good reps in a set on bench at 235, after my break I was struggling with 5x5 at 225. Squats dropped from 445 max to struggling 5 reps with 300. I'm sure everyone varies but fuck man don't take long breaks they suck.

op here, I've also had some elbow tendonitis I was hoping would heal up during the move
the only other break I've taken in the past two years was a month long bender after a relationship went fucking nuclear
I'm not expecting much, I feel it even after taking just a week off
