When did you start lifting?

[Cander 66]

I'm in a 15lb lifting restriction until jan 11. Just curious how everyone started out lifting? After the restriction is cleared just jump right in? Or should I start out light on machines? Walking and doing pool stuff now just ready to get back to lifting.

I personally took my time and started off with light stuff and walking. You had major surgery and you will have been down a few weeks. Just my opinion but best to start off slow

I started out light and progressed from there. I also increased the intensity of my cardio.

I started walking for around 30 mins a few times into my second week then at the end of the 2 week started light weights for arms n shoulders. 3rd week I'm doing free squats and hamstrings , shoulders and biceps n triceps... I haven't been told anything really. If I find something uncomfortable I don't do it.
