Accordingly, weights in week 2 are moderate intensity and fully controlled across all sets.
CNS and muscle memory will come quickly, but the connective tissue is at risk...especially for experienced lifters. Check that ego at the door and trust the process.

⚒️Rebuild Week 2
Main: Squats (295x5x5)
Accessory: Leg Press (40), RDL (32), Seated Leg Curl (30), Standing Calves (60), Ab Wheel (3x)
The first two weeks goal is to retrain the CNS, activate the muscles with dynamic loading, and protect the tendons/ligaments.
Unless you have 3+ SOLID years of consistent strength training using progressive overload:
- skip chest flys, get your bench up
- skip one arm cable rows, get your t-bar row up
- skip lateral raises, get your shoulder presses up
- skip leg curls, get your squat up
The strength foundation always comes first.
