Where would you restart?

[HunterCML]

I have decided to consult the (former?) mighty nut misc.

I have not lifted in probably over a year. I just renewed my gym membership, and the only way for me to stay motivated is to be competitive. So I decided I want to go back to powerlifting.

If you were in my position, what program would you restart with? I formerly did Sheiko with great results but I'm afraid the volume would be excessive.

Basic 5x5 plan? What say you..

Given what you said, i would probably do a cycle of Allpro's to get your CNS/muscle memory back. Then 5x5 after. Jumping into 5x5 after that long and being "competetive" might snap yo sht up

I'd start with Fierce 5.

Lyle gbr. Build up some work capacity and relearn the movement patterns before going into a heavy program.

Basically this. It doesn't even have to be Allpros neccesarily, but just some type of higher rep full body work for about 4-6 weeks. From there you can transition into SL 5x5, Madcows, or Texas Method depending on how much strength you regain.

What were your previous maxes?

I'd ask Juggernaut Fitness TV.
