absolutely no way you can avoid losing strength

The strength will come back quickly if eating at a surplus and working your arse off for a while.

Requires balance.

My first time back in the gym after damaging my back in a wreck, my deadlift was barely 200lbs.

Idk if it was fear of hurting or what, but three weeks later I was over 300. Now I'm hovering in the high 3s. Cant get to where I was at age 20. But in my early 30s, I'm still functionally strong enough to not have to ask for help to move things.

That's more important to me than a silly number.
