Workout Plan for July

This month I’ll be easing into a routine.  Going to keep the weights really light for a bit.   It’s been at least a year since I picked up a barbell, so I need to take it easy for a bit.   For the first couple of weeks it is easy to get your muscles sore, which is bearable but uncomfortable.   When doing squats for the first time in a while I am prone to getting leg cramps, which while painful, could cause injury if they stiffen up at the wrong time.   It’s pretty easy to detect when it starts though, and I will usually just stop my sets if I am starting to cramp up.  

The pounds listed will be for the first week.   If I am free of cramps I will increase the poundage each following week.   By the end of the month I should be at my limit, then the real building can begin!
