Hey guys, second time going through this but with a diff topic.. I’ve been out the gym for a while, on and off, due to personal problems and such (excuses I know). I’ve been prepping my body with held stretches and body weight exercises.. plan on hopping back in next week when I have off. Was just wondering if it’s worth preloading with any supps? I have creatine and some laxo and epi, was wondering if it’s worth pre loading these or saving until my muscle memory hits a little. Thanks for any experiences/ advice
 
I know this is a sincere question, but honestly you're over-thinking it. Just get back into the gym and start with the basics like creatine and protein and make sure your diet is solid. Pre-loading isn't going to make a significant difference.

This right here.

After a break, you're naturally going to be 'weaker' than what you were while you were actively using the gym, but that will come back once you get rolling again.

IMao it would be easy to place the credit on all these new supplements rather than the work you are putting in right now. Start basic, then progress after the ball is well and truly rolling.
 
Solid answers above. Focus on being consistent with your training and eating well. I would save anything you have aside from protein and creatine for 2-3 months in after you've been consistent and stuck with your routine

Agreed with the others. Say consistent to your training and diet for 2-3 months and see what kind of progress you can get from that alone.
 
Keep your reps high and your load low for the next couple of weeks to avoid injury. Your body will respond to anything at this point. Wait until muscle memory starts to kick in, then you know you’ve gotten somewhere! Usually a few weeks of consistency for me!

This is great advice. Once you making progress see if you need any Supps and then decide what will work best for your goals.
 
Really appreciate it guys, solid answers. General consensus seems to be to save the supps. I had a feeling this might be the right route, just kinda worried about gettin back and looking at what I used to touch vs what I WILL be lifting. I guess you gotta start somewhere tho and there’s no shame in that. Excellent advice about low weight high reps for now, I’m sure as I get used to contracting and having a load on my muscles I’ll feel obliged to up the ante a little
