Did first proper barbell weights session after 8 months of closed gyms on Wednesday and am still sore and low-energy 3 days later 😶. Pre- gym closures it was full recovery in 48h.

And this despite the fact that I took 10-25 lbs off all my exercises thinking that should be enough to ease back in. It wasn’t. For 8 months I only did some irregular light dumbbell stuff at home at like 30-40 lbs off barbell levels. Not enough for maintenance clearly.

You gotta factor in injury/illness avoidance. Working out increases resilience like 100X, so if the goal is "maximize productive/high quality life hours" working out is a no brainer

+1 on sleep. Go to the top of the funnel. Check your vitamin D levels. Get IV fluids monthly w/B 12. That’s my hack for slowly and progressively increasing energy via good resetting and recovery 😛 (Right after you get fluids, make sure you knock out a big, high leverage task)
