Why the first workout back matters
A break does not mean you are back at zero. The first workout is not punishment; it is how you turn the rhythm and baseline back on.
What to compare in OnRep
Use the first workout back to record the load, reps, and time you can maintain today as the restart baseline.
Turn it back on
The first workout after a break is about re-entry, not intensity.
- Time off does not erase every adaptation.
- Lower intensity can reduce soreness and overload risk.
- A short logged session gives your next workout a baseline.
Today’s goal is not catching up. It is recording that you started again.
