On the 1st rep of the 2nd set of squats I lost my balance near the top and stumbled forward. I reracked the bar, took a breather and then did the set.

So finally got back into the gym on my 62nd birthday after a two year layoff. Life happened and the longer I was off the harder it was to start back. Coming back hurt. I started on a two day a week schedule with squats and deadlifts every workout and alternating between presses and bench presses. Even dialing the weight way back the squats made me incredibly sore but I'm past that now. The school year has begunso the initial challenge is the midweek workout after a 90 minute commute.

I just started back after a layoff that was supposed to be a few weeks and then just kept growing. I look at where I was and where I am and can just say that I'm glad to be back at it. Glad you're back at it as well and good luck to you.
