  1. How long with I be on these restrictions for?
  2. How did you choose that amount of weight?
  3. Do you have a plan to get me back to lifting that weight and more?
  4. If yes, could you describe that framework of the plan?
  5. If yes, what criteria would you use to progress that plan to meet my needs?
  6. If no plan, is there any reason appropriate strength training with a fitness professional would be contraindicated, if so, why?
