Guys... I just started lifting again today after a 2 month break (previously id been weight lifting for ab 5-ish months. So im still fairly new, but for personal reasons i wasn't able to lift at all over the summer) and it was AWFUL my arms felt like spaghetti noodles, I went down from 85lbs on bench to 65lbs on bench, and after my arms were wore out i could barely do dumbell exercises with 10lbs like my arms were GONE. Like i felt worse than i did when i first started lifting. Well, on a positive note, when i first started lifting i Couldn't even lift the 45lb bar and had to start with a 20lb bar on bench w/o weights... so atleast i haven't regressed that much on weight, but as for stamina .... well.... thats a different story >_<
AAAAHHHHH IM GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING NOW- I could lift 70+ kg and pull down 110kg and now I'm struggling with 25 after taking a break........ 1 reply

Make sure to get your protein and keep moving up in weight and it’ll come back fast. Also, cardio (as shitty as it is) helps with stamina
