Yes. The key to getting back into the gym is light reps. You’ll get used to it again fast

Willpower. Will cure that pain.

Yeh if I remember correctly once you get passed the two week point it gets easier. But man I feel like an old man today haha. Will push through it.

make sure to prioritize recovery - especially if you are looking to gain muscle. mass is gained when muscles have an adequate amount of time to rebuild themselves. dont skimp on your carbs, either, massive energy source. best of skill brother! ⚔️

Whatever you did yesterday - squats, push ups, etc - do those again at the start of today’s workout In very light reps. With a ton of water. But yes you’ll get it back fast. Good on ya brother 👊🏼

The best workout is the one you contemplate skipping. Once you hit that point and proceed, then it will be true smooth sailing. Mind over matter.

Starting out after a long break from the gym. Any recommended amount of time for recovery?

Thanks for the support!

Yes it is 😂 it’s a good kind of pain 💪🔥

You're wlecome. I only began working out seriously just prior to turning 40. I know the pain when we're up in age.

Had the same issue after hitting the gym again after a (too) long break couple months ago😂

I had period from 17-20 I took it seriously. But I was partying/drinking a lot back then. So it’s probably my results weren’t the best. But I have stopped drinking I’m relatively fit just feel a bit skinny for my height. I could with looking a little bulkier. Seems like a good time for me to start again before I can no longer grow muscle (apparently you stop being able to build muscle when you reach your late20s)

Its definitely not the easiest to gain at this point, and they go away real quick if ya stop. Had a gym at my previous job but that shut down for covid, and then got my life turned upside down when they put a mandate in place so unfortunatly not in budget anymore. Current job keeps me in shape though so all is not lost
