Reply With QuoteI'd recommend Starting Strength - it's pretty similar to what you're doing already and it's extremely simple. I'm doing it right now to gain some strength.

Just got back into the gym and...
I finally made the decision to get back into working out and I think for now I want to do a full body workout a 3 or 4 times a week to ease back into it. I just wanted to know if this looks ok to do.
Today I did:
ATF Squats x 3 sets
Dips x 2 sets
Bent over rows x 3 sets
All at about 85% intensity. Next time Ill probably do dead-lifts bench-press and pull ups or something I don't know. After a few weeks of this I'll probably just separate it into a push pull legs split for a while. This sound good to start back?

What do you mean starting strength? Is that the name of a workout program or do you mean strength training in general?

Starting Strength is a book by Mark Rippetoe. In it he outlines a very good and very simple program for novice/intermediate lifters.
