I'm looking to get back into the gym seriously after about a 3 year hiatus. Would anyone here have a good free weight routine to start off with? Nothing too crazy just something so I can get back in the swing of things.
Thanks!

Right on man. Welcome back to the lifting world.
There are two beginner systems (also great for those returning to lifting) that are commonly recognized amongst most lifting communities. Wendler's 5/3/1 and Stronglifts 5x5 (the OG website looks cheesy and all, but the system is tried and true). When I came back to lifting I chose to use Wendler's system. However, I know tons of guys and girls who have used SL 5x5 and swear by it. Both systems are very simple to follow, efficient as far as time is concerned, and should get your stronger quickly. Whether your goals are for body building purposes, powerlifting or simply getting into shape and being healthy, I think both are greatly structured for building a base.
The one thing I highly recommend is to simply log your workouts. It will help you in obtaining whatever your training goals may be. Training is a huge passion for me, so if you have any questions or whatever, feel free to PM me.
