I am a 25-year-old retired college hockey player who used to have a sports-specific workout throughout my youth and early 20s. It has been 3 years, going on 4, since I graduated from college, and I have hit a gym plateau.

I am curious about how to get my body back to where I am confident I can perform certain lifts without the long-term aches and pains that tend to follow today.
