So I got a puppy, and bought a house, and work was hell...
And the next thing I knew six months had gone by with no workouts. I'm prone to joint injuries, so I want to start slowly and intelligently, and not move up too fast. I've been thinking of starting with some very easy 15s for several weeks, emphasizing lactate buildup, etc., before starting in again on an HST cycle. 've lost about 30% of my strength and I'd guess about 10 lbs. of LBM. (It was a stressful time and I was eating and sleeping poorly, too.)
The questions: Is this a reasonable approach? How long should I do low-weight, high-rep work to condition connective tissue? Or should I just dive back in?
