Hey guys, so I lost quite a bit of strength after getting sick, 10kg off my bench and 12kg off my squat. So the question is, is it better to try doing linear progression to go back to my old strength (say 3x5 and add 2,5kgs every week) or just run the program I was running and see how I progress? It seems to me that taking 6 weeks to add a couple of kgs is a lot of time, and maybe I can get stronger with LP.
btw my bench max rn is 210lb/95kg and squat 110kg/242lb

you should continuebwith the program you were running in the first place. You would end up switching anyway if you did L.P. to the program you were doing. Just stick with the program.
After being sick it is normal to he slightly down from where you were at. Just take it slow and build back up. There is no point in trying to rush it, as you will see better results in the long term.
What program where you using anyway?Max/goal
Paused bench 305/325
Squats 410/415
Deadlift 495/500
Overhead BB press 185/225
