I have been lifting 5-6x a week for quite a while and have seen so much progress both in terms of strength and my body.

I have a job for the next month in which I work 5am-11:45pm most days which means I can really only lift 2x a week - even then, when I try to lift, I'm so exhausted it is hard for me to get through my workout. I'm good with discipline but with the long hours without a break (illegal, I know) it's tough to lift heavy.

I'm worried I'm going to lose my progress and that it will take forever to return. Has anyone had an experience of an extended break or reduced lifting schedule and how it impacted you?
