I only took three weeks off for the Holidays etc., but MAN! I'm gassed after every work-out in a way that I didn't expect. It takes so little time off to lose your conditioning, at least it does for me.

Judge Pen,
I took a weight training class at one of my colleges as a Phys Ed requirement...and he said every week off took 1 month to get back...welcome to 3 months of getting back to where you were...

I'm gonna go ahead and say that that guy is an idiot. There is no standard amount of time that it takes you to get back into shape after a layoff or break. Some people are so worn down from training that after a week break they are actually better off. The one week off 1 month to get it back also doesn't account for base fitness at all. And different people respond differently.
I say you'll be back to where you were in a month but ramp up slowly.

my jobs' (plural) have pretty much killed my workout schedule.
my conditioning is pathetic at the moment and i don't know how i'll get it back.
so hard not to get frustrated and give up.
the fact that my main job has me reduced to being a janitor in the evenings is just plain sad; especially with all the bs i gotta put up with for my main job in the first place.
the only advice i can offer you is the same mantra i keep telling myself:
"stick with it and the body will adapt"
-Jack Dempsey ch1 pg1 Championship FightingWhat would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.

I've taken a week off before and actually come back stronger than when I left...
