Not sure if this is best posted here or in the general forum. I have the feeling that there is logic behind this question, but for some reason I'm having trouble figuring out what it is. :D I have what I think would be called low exercise tolerance. I injure easily (true in endurance...

Thanks, Bryan. I've been going really slow and letting myself stretch out. The lactate accumulation is insane. I never thought I'd say it's good to feel nauseated again, but it is!

Thanks, Scott and Edziu. I think you're right, and I'll follow your advice, Edziu, just starting 20% off my previous 1RM (I don't want to test them just yet) and going from there, skipping the negs. My more general question was how long it takes for connective tissue to decondition. Anyone know...

Bryan wrote an introductory article, too, at: http://www.musclemonthly.com/article....ork.htm I remember reading on M.F.W. that Elzi Volk recommended a slightly more frequent refeed (i.e., 24 hours 1x/wk for men at 15%BF, cf. every other week in Bryan's article). You can find the thread by...
