Trying to return to the gym from an injury...any tips welcomed

[challa]

• upper&lower back injury kept me from the gym for a year
• went from 150 to 135
• trying to get back my slim, but athletic build.
• workout routines, supplements, diets needed if possible

What was the injury? Just take it easy and listen to your body.

I feel you, not rushing it will probably be the hardest part.

Start light for a few weeks or even a month and just practice form, mind muscle connection.

I've been there before, i had to check my ego.

Get the basics down. Proper movement. Strengthen your core/back


Leave your ego at home while you rebuild. We trying to be here for a long time
AND a good time.

-go really slow at first.
-you might have to tweak your form on some exercises to accommodate your injuries (range of motions, types of grips, feet placement). play around with it while the weight is lighter to figure out what's best for you at this time.
