OKAY FOR REAL, tomorrow will be my first day back in the gym. Taking a 6 month break was not okay.

Haha don't worry, won't be demotivating! I competed in a few bodybuilding comps in my prime. I'm definitely going to experience DOMS getting back into it. But muscle memory will hopefully help me and I tried my best not to get too out of shape since I started working 6 months ago. Surprisingly a good amount of muscle is still here but got a little pouch to take care of :)

Not bad actually! I thought I was going to be a lot weaker but I only lost about 15% of my strength based on today's lifts. Cardio endurance was horrible but easing back into it. Definitely not looking forward to DOMS
