How has COVID-19 affected your gains?

On the 12th March I weighed 86kg (189lb) and deadlifted 235kg (518lb).

I haven't lifted since and now weigh 80kg (176lb). I've been eating well and running a fair bit but I'm kinda apprehensive about getting back into lifting proper. How much strength can I expect to have lost?

How has the pandemic affected your lifting?

see sig.

4 months of no gym - basically back to the beginning. I don't mind, I enjoy the challenge and the feeling of being so sore the following days.
I have found my gains again. Thanks Sam Adams

I gained about 5lbs of fat and PR'd most of my compounds about 3 weeks back on track.

Had legit no drive during the pandemic due to stressors related to pandemic (not fearcel, actual life impacts).

Luckily was able to snag a barbell and plenty of plates right as all of this was first starting. Made some sketchy DIY squat/bench stands in my apartment.

I've maintained my weight, gained maybe a few pounds. Have PR'd my bench and deadlift since COVID hit with new maxes. My squat is suffering right now because I have some issue with my left hip, getting a massage today and keep trying to rehab it but if my hip is still causing pain in another couple weeks I'll have to get it looked at by the doctor.

I gained about 20lbs. I was on 100% salary with nothing to do but get fuked up, order food and watch netflix. I can't wait for the gyms to reopen...

Nothing good.

Doing what I can with adjustable dumbbell set (can load up one db to 53#) and push ups.

Chit is fuked, definitely have put on some fat. Haven’t deadlifted since March 13th.

My deadlift took a nosedive while on cut during rona, went from like 430 to 370

I had a poverty home gym, but got the job done

My deadlifting "platform" and environment sucked, so I think that definitely made a difference

Didn't lose anything because I have enough equipment here to keep lifting. Maintained weight as well because I didn't go pig out mode. Das it!

been back in the gym for months crew. I got stronger because I focused heavily on weaknesses during the time the gym was closed.
