Nonsense. So let's just take some #'s....if your max on a lift is 315 and let's say you use 250 for "working" sets. So you will start back with 150?
If you have lifted for a while and are in "lifting" shape no reason it shouldn't be 90%, even after 2 months. If you are coming back from a true "injury" (surgery or the likes) then yes you should probably dial it back.
Get the sand out of your ******
You are in OH....take a trip to Westside....that will cure you.
