Advice on time to start

[djm137]

Heres the scenario:
Up until a couple months ago a took a break from lifting for about 3 years. Yes, a very dumb move and I regret it so much now. I decided to get back on track and have been lifting very hard the last couple months. I will use bench press as an example for my question. Before I stopped lifting I had a 1RM of 365 and had 2 complete 1AD/4AD cycles under my belt. The three years I took off dropped my bench a good 150 lbs. The last couple months I have been able to get my bench back up to about 275 and starting to hit a mini plateau. I want to do another 1ad/4ad cycle and would like to have my PCT done by Christmas which means I need to start very soon. My question is, do you guys think it is too early to do a cycle considering I am no where near what I used to lift? I would really like to especially because my stash is probably getting very old haha. Thanks for any replies and advice.

Yes, too early. Wait until you catch back up. Muscle memory is a real thing.
