I am looking to get back into the game of health and strength after a few years off, and am looking for a little advice of where to start. I have played competitive travel ice hockey for 15 years, so I have been training hard since I was five. So I am no stranger to hard work and discipline. Unfortunately, my career has now gotten in the way and I no longer am able to play, and haven’t really been to the gym at all in about 2 years.
I was wondering if there is anyone that was/is in the same boat and how they went about getting back in the swing. I am not looking to get absolutely huge, but more muscle mass would be a plus in my work. Any advice about about exercises to start getting back to health, and/or suppliment and diet recommendations would be much appreciated.
