Have you ever noticed how quickly we can lose our strength? It happens to me every time I am away from the gym, even if I just miss a few days. I'm one of those types who likes to do pretty much the same exercises week after week, who likes to do the same number of reps and use the same amount of weight. Most of the time that works just fine for me. But then I'll get a cold and miss a few days, or I'll be out of town and skip some workouts. And when I go back to the gym and try to pick up where I left off, I inevitably discover that what felt like just the right weight last week is now uncomfortably heavy for me. For some reason I am surprised every time this happens. It doesn't seem fair to me; it doesn't seem right that I could get so much weaker so quickly. But fair or not, the result is the same -- I have a power deficit.
