First lifting today in ~9 months.
I'd forgotten what it feels like to lift lumps of metal.
To avoid injury / overdoing it for the first couple of weeks, I'm keeping it light & focused on the basic lifts each session - squats, bench, shoulder press, barbel rows / dead lifts (alternating sessions), 3 x 8.
Aiming for 3 sessions a week, but expect that will be more like 2.
Also extremely chuffed that the gym has a 1 year membership offer of £220.
The downside is that they only have 6 olympic lift platforms.
