What is realistic to expect my body to be able to do right now after losing a ton of strength during a period of high mental stress and taking three weeks off from lifting? Before the move, I was doing Performance 15 workouts, and for much of this year, I've been doing MAPS 15-style workouts, so my volume has not been that high. I am currently back to lifting moderately (maybe 4 exercises, 2 days a week) and have lost at least 20 lbs on my squat. How can I recover lost strength and continue training during this stressful time?
