Might not apply to you, but be careful not to start up too fast. I've done that a few times and you can pull a muscle really easy.

Recovery time is important. Perhaps you already know this, but you should give each muscle group at least a day off between workouts. I do work for a married couple, both champion weightlifters, who are personal trainers to the rich and famous here in Silicon Valley. I was talking with the guy once about recovery time and he said 'it's really easy to F up.'

Says that some muscle groups need four or five days between workouts. Who knows, I do know that he's about 58 and built better than most men are at any time in their life.
