    May be :
    1- Bad diet during vacation, so you're in a depleted like state. Eat clean and in good quantity so you gain back what you've lost, so you fueled up.
    2- Long vacations. So your muscles was deconditionned. But thanks muscle memory, you will soon gain what you've lost

    Hope it helps.
    God bless

    Thanks Chunky, I think that probably could be a combination of the 1 and 2, the 1 more less, but the second yes, 25 days out, with no exercise 1 one day I walked in the beach, lol, I think that the muscles have been deconditionned


    Thanks for the reply

    Don't quote me on this, but I believe after 7 days of no weight training you start to regress, It is like 3 days for endurance training, or thereabouts.
    If sense were common, everyone would have it.

    Dale that could be right, 1 or 2 weeks with no weight training is the center of the problem and my regress, Chunky hopefully in 1 or 2 weeks, I can return to my original weights
