Well my muscles are deconditioned like crazy ... especially my legs ... but I feel like the power is coming back already. Hopefully I'll be back up close to where I was after my first cycle.

You are right. One`s lifting strength suffers when he/she leaves gym for a specific period. I am not much expert to give you an accurate advice but hope other experts comment will help. Good luck! Take good exercise and food and keep posted.

Should have re-started doing grip work a long time ago... I've lost lots of strength here... Don't think I could even close the #2 anymore!

Well now that I think about it... I have dropped all the weights on my exercises except for bench. I guess that's why I'm struggling. I've been trying to jump right back in at the weight I was doing before my surgery.
