Literally everyone in this Thread is stronger than me. And I fucking hate every last one of you
I've finally been given the all clear to return to lifting by my Oncologist. Although he made it
very clear I should train as lightly as possible at first and build up slowly. I'm inclined to follow his advice, since he told me, in graphic detail, what would happen if I
didn't follow his advice.
I haven't trained in eight months. That's
any kind of training. My only exercise has been walking. Any muscle I built up has long since atrophied. So I'm thinking of running a modified version of
Starting Strength. Modified because I can't use a straight bar for bench or squats, and I don't want to risk deadlifts even with girly-man weights. So probably something like this:
Swiss Bar Bench: 3 X 5
SS Bar Squats: 3 X 5
Rack Pulls or Bent Over Rows: 3 X 5
