Lifting again after seven months - What to expect? tips? precuations?

Just started lifting again because gyms are open and I'm tired of looking at my lockdown peak rotting performance body fueled by beer and a lot of food.





Just came back from the gym and did a bro/split circuit on the fly program just getting used to all the movements so I'm expecting a ton of doms. Should I still be lifting with severe doms or should I rest instead or should I just go to gym and do some super light exercises just to get the blood flowing because I feel like I'm gonna be bed-ridden for the next week lol.

back, knee, and tendon issues should be the #1 concern. several people on the misc have already blown out their backs on the return to the gym

DOMS + Pump = hnnng. Just don't go for any PRs and you'll be feeling fine in a month or two

Oh crap, yeah I felt my elbow tendon tingling a bit when I was doing OHP, immediately stopped and moved on.

No PR's for sure, just taking my lifts slow .... But time is what I dont have lel, wanna get at least get somewhat in shape to the point I look like I have a bit of muscle on and my belly isnt popping out before uni re-opens. Legit been wearing 3 pairs of clothes for the past 5 months because none of my tshirts fit me anymore



I think I'm about 25%-30% bf right now. Last time I saw my abs and was joocy was back in 2019.
