What is your fitness level? How much lifting experience do you have?

Just to avoid a serious case of DOMS, I would probably ease back into your training with a full body workout 3x per week. 2 weeks of that is probably enough and then you can switch to a higher volume split of your choice.

That was going to be my advice as well maybe add a week or to if the full body routine is working. Remember you are going to be able to take advantage of newbi style gains for a short period of time. But start back slow especially if your are coming back from an injury.
