I've been tremendously active, cardio and throwing weights around like I was fifteen years younger.
I'm tepidly back in gym after a complete hamstring tear, and disillusioned with my seeing I'm not the same man.
I get muscle atrophy, and know age has hit simultaneously with the horribly long layoff, but what to do?
What recoup plan should I seek?
I'm down 20 lbs, and it's all muscle loss.

Can't rebuild Rome in a day.
Set a small goal. Hit it. Set another one. Hit it. Rinse & repeat.
Fitness never ends.

What was your previous regiment like?
Get massage
Do foam rolling and some dynamic mobility work to initiate activating that hamstring
Focus more on prep and warm up over the next 6-8 weeks
Reduce your volume # of sets in half
Start with a frequency of 3 days a week
Intensity should be 40-60% of what you once did initially for squats deadlifts and other leg work emphasizing the hamstrings
This will not only allow your hamstrings to get used to the load but your nervous system will make the adaptations prior to gaining muscle hypertrophy again. Emphasize the movement and form

I was at my peak of size and strength when a series of injuries hit that culminated in a surgery.
18 months later and I'm finally back to respecting myself.
18 more and I'll feel good again.
Journeys are just a series of steps....but we often forget that when looking at the culmination of those steps.
Take another one. You got this.

I'd start with a linear program. Starting from a long layoff, you can essentially treat yourself like a beginner.

As I said in there, I am a fan of Candito's control linear program. Especially with a focus on the paused work, which I think is good for re-drilling in form.
Biggest thing on motivation is to put yourself into a program or a structure with goals.
