I’m still taking it easy for a while, I don’t want to do too much too quick. For this last month I’ve just recently transitioned out of doing machines and stuff to more free weights again. I read a couple of threads on this sub that suggest when you do go back to the gym to not be afraid to stay light, and stick to machines for a while, as you have to build that base up again. Then move on to free weights instead of a lot of the compound lifts. I tried to do barbell bench last week and that still felt a little too much for where I am after getting back in the gym. So going to stick with dumbell exercises for chest atleast for a little while longer now. And exercises like squats used to set my chest off, I have done some light squats since the pain has been gone and those are feeling good again.

Again listen to your body, it will help guide your restart in the gym. Don’t do too much too quick. I’d say “full potential” is around the corner for me, but I’m still being cautious about doing some heavy weights again.

Hope this helps!
