I would go with what Taylor said, it’s good to start from the top and work your way back up, but my women’s health mag. said that if you stop doing strength training it’s easier to rebuild the muscle than it would be if you had never done it at all, so that’s encouraging. I also notice my strength gets built up faster after a few days off the pole than it would if I was just beginning so just keep at it and you’ll get your strength back up to par.
