[GrandMaster]

so im starting over fresh

i was thinking about working my shoulders and traps first
i usually start with my chest and tris


any suggestions on what group MAY be more bennificial??

When I'm out for a couple weeks I usually like to start on shoulders for some reason too. I really don't know why. It may be because it is more forgiving than deads and squats and I'm just putting off the inevitable(sp?).

I always hit cores for a little while first.. then get into my normal routine.. After injuries and such.. Always feel like I'm real weak, so once I get my cores back up, then I feel a bit stronger with my other lifts.

that sounds smart to me

When I get back after a layoff, I do a whole body routine for the first couple or three weeks at 3x per week plus cardio. Get your general conditioning back up before hammering anything.

I think whole body as well.. or at least hit the muscles on your body that respond faster first

Guess I'll chime in and agree with everyone before me

I'd approach it assuming I'm pretty well deconditioned and do whole body, 3 x week, low intensity/high rep and include core.

bah
i usually start of with my chest and tri's low density...i mean LOW lol
just to wake them back up.
i always have the best results from that group......
i guess i'll start with the core, and hit up my shoulders lightly
