    ok to go HAM at the gym if I haven't been in a while?

    muscles sore as hell and I'm not sure I'm stretching properly, but I want to try and go 6-7 days this week.

    • Take it easy. Muscles are tight when first getting back so you're more susceptible to injury. Try warming up on a bike, rowing, or air squats. Active warmups.IRNlun6
    • Avoid static stretches. They're detrimental to strength gains since they lengthen muscles and decrease power output.IRNlun6
