Max Weight Adjustments following an off-week

[PoweredUp]

After taking a week off from lifting, do you typically (a) increase the weight as you normally would, (b) keep the weight the same as it was before your off week, or (c) drop the weight a bit and build back up for a week or two before surpassing your previous totals?

I am currently taking a week off after lifting for a few months straight, so I want to have the right game plan in place when I get back into the gym on Monday...

it really depends on the body of the person. i would say just keep increasing and ignore your week off...like it never happened.

if you cant do that then just settle for the same weight...if youve gone down in weight then immediately removed your fingers from your vag

E. throw light weight on each side of the leg press do 100 reps and shock the shit out of the muscles

I usually just keep the weight the same, judge my performance then go from there.

I am typically stronger after the week off.

I take a week off in between the end of my heavy phase and my light phase. When I come back to the light phase I start all my weights heavier than in the previous cycle.
