That first workout after a 3-4 week hiatus is the worst. . .

And also the very best :)

After taking a break for a few weeks I'm back at school and went to the gym on Tues..had a leg workout which only lasted about 20 minutes or so, but left me sore to the point where I can still feel the effects from it until Saturday.

Had an upper body workout yesterday which, given how I feel now will last until at least Wednesday.

I started working again on Wednesday after like 10 months without working out. I just started simple with some EFX machine for 35 minutes.

yea, working out after a long break sucks. just take it easy, and then wait until the pain is gone before you do it again. so probably each group once for the first week, then get back into your routine.

the first workout right after a long break actually isn't that bad. Its the second workout where your muscles are possibly very sore that gets me.
