So I pretty much have to go to the gym now. I've had nagging tendonitis in my shoulders for about 6 months now, been seeing the chiropractor and it's definatly coming along so weight training is possible now. I'm looking to gain strength and I guess mass would come with that.

Now my train of thought is for the first month, go two days a week doing basic excersizes on machines. Chest press, shoulder press, row, lat pull and leg press. The reason I think this way is to get my body used to pushing weights before I really go all out with like 4 days a week or so. Using the machines to get some base strength before free weights. Is this a good idea to take it slow at first or should it be balls to the wall right off the bat?
