Back after a few years away from weights.

Week 3 now. Have missed working out my lifts are unsurprisingly atrocious. Squat is down to 50kg, same as bench lol

I have lost a few stone in weight to be fair but am wanting to regain some strength!

Well done, OP! The first session is the hardest, so you're well on your way.

3 weeks in so you're on your way to making it a habit - just keep showing up!

Keep up the good work 💪

It's amazing how quickly you lose fitness buts easier to get it back then starting completely fresh.

Well done! Keep at it and it’ll eventually become so routine you don’t think about going anymore, you just go!

My observations would be these.

Be patient.

Nail your form.

Put more reps in if you feel your missing out on kgs.

Be more patient.

Try a 1RM max every 4 weeks whilst you regain your mojo.

Good luck and welcome back.
