Sounds like a wonderful way to make your vacay last 6 weeks. Back up 2 workouts, do them on your normal schedule, and then resume your program on the 3rd workout.
I've always come back from holidays and immediately used my previous PR weight but reduced the reps to singles. So, where I squatted 102.5 Kg for 3 sets of 5, I will do 3 sets of singles. On light day I will reduce 1 set of 5 @ 90Kg to 1 set of 3 @ 90Kg. Over the following weeks I add 1 rep to each set until I'm back at my previous rep/sets. I'm always a bit sore after the first week training, but the soreness only lasts a week.
As a 59 year old male intermediate using HLM do you regard this as a reasonable way to get back into training, or would you do anything differently ?
