What Italianangel angel suggested is good too. Since you took a long break from exercise, you'll need to slowly reintroduce the movements for compound exercises. Once your "muscle memory" is finely tuned, then you can start piling on the weights like you did before. Be patient with the weights, you'll regain your strength in time. A common mistake n00bs make is after they take a break from weight training, they still think they are as strong as they were before. This is when serious injuries occur.
