That's actually the formula I think I'm going to take, I like the suggestion. By God's grace I've always had the ability to resurrect fairly quickly, in my entire adult life this has been the longest down time for me, but when I'm on I do a lot of switch hitting, and time to get ahead of myself. The turnaround always works out in the end but if I keep it real and peel the layers back and look at what my target goal is, question that we asked it's constantly changing. I do have a bad habit of committing too much and burning myself out, 10 weeks full throttle, and you can't do that. The way I train is pretty intense and is multiple body parts during the week. It's been a long time since I've done a split, and that's more realistic considering my schedule now. I agree with your thought process for the first several weeks going about 50% and just priming everything up. By the fourth week I'm always rebounding pretty quick and back into the groove with significant changes. When I open a new chapter I really want to focus on my lower back, my glutes and my hips. I'm quite confident that my excessive lower back pumps that can be debilitating is most likely coming from my hips and glutes. I'm going to work on mobility and stretching along with building up my hams and my glutes. Believe it or not a lot of people assume that lower back problems are core related, when in fact a lot of it is neglected glutes hamstrings and tight hips. It's going to take a lot of discipline to focus on it, but it's no thing for me to adapt to it..
