Comeback Strength
Taking time off from the gym doesn’t mean you’ve lost your gains forever; the path back is often easier than the initial climb. Those who once excelled in fitness can find their way back to peak form more quickly than they think. It's all about getting back to the gym and embracing the journey, rather than dwelling on past accomplishments.In this clip

I have a question about the episode 1109: Michael Israetel | Fitness Myths and Science-Based Solutions and the clip Comeback Strength. I am a 25-year-old retired college hockey player who used to have a sports-specific workout throughout my youth and early 20s. It has been 3 years, going on 4, since I graduated from college, and I have hit a gym plateau. I have been using the gym to manage my anxious, high-energy feelings but have lost a sense of what I am capable of. I feel burnt out and lack an understanding of how much my body should endure in the gym. I am curious about how to get my body back to where I am confident I can perform certain lifts without the long-term aches and pains that tend to follow today.
How long does someone need to take off from lifting to be like a newbie when they come back and experience newbie gains, based on the episode 1109: Michael Israetel | Fitness Myths and Science-Based Solutions and the clip Comeback Strength?
How can I overcome this gym plateau and regain my confidence and performance?
