Maintaining strength or getting weaker?
HHey u all...im coming off of a minor injury...and when i lift again....im gonna decrease the weights a little...for example, this WAS my routine for chest a week ago:
BB bench: 8x125 7x145 5x165 4x180
DB bench: 8x45 8x45 8x45
DB incline bench: 8x35 8x35 8x35
Now iu think this will be my routine when i return (for a couple of weeks, until i get better)
BB bench: (warmup a lot!) 5x145 5x145 5x145 5x145
DB bench: 8x35 8x35 8x35
DB incline bench 8x30 8x30 8x30
My question is: i kno i wont gain any strength...but im not worried about that....im worried about this: will i lose strength? or will i just maintain my strength i had (not losing any...yet not gaining any either)??Good, bad, im the guy with the gun-Army of Darkness
Weight:147 pounds
DB Incline Press: Repping 70 lbs in each hand.
Standing curls: Repping 60 lbs
(thats all i remember for now!)

Most likely you will maintain. Hell, I went on vacation for 7 months and wasn't able to lift at all, except for some 15 pound dumbells. I did a lot of pushups, curls, military presses, weightless squats, etc. I didn't lose any strength in any of my lifts. Of course, I also continued to eat quite a lot.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
