Get back in the gym - if you're going to do something, may as well do it RIGHT (unless you want a couple of weeks going easy - but the sooner you get back into it, the better you'll feel.

If you've had a lot of time off, then your body is going to respond like a beginner. You don't have to start out like a complete beginner, but your body will be in that stage for a while, so you need to recondition it back to training again - this can be done using the compounds (or whatever you were doing before) and lifting for the general 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps for a few weeks, and then you can progress back to what you were doing. You can start off with a split, or just do full-body sessions ~3 times a week for about a month, and then get back into splits. So many options - just make sure to tailor your training (weights, cardio, and flexibility) towards your goals.

I can't tell you how long you are going to get newbie gains or what they will be like, since this will vary between individuals.

I suggest that you choose fat loss or muscle gain if you're just starting back, since recomping is very dependent on your NUTRITION - although, newbie gains can include recomping, albeit UNintentionally.

If you don't know where to start, then I recommend getting yourself a trainer and having a training programme (AND nutrition plan - can't forget your nutrition, since that's what is going to make or break your success with gaining muscle mass!) written specifically for YOU for your goals and needs. If you can't afford a professional trainer, then take some time out to research and look around, because there is a TON of information out there!

Start by reading The 3 Keys to Fat Loss - it contains comprehensive advice and information on nutrition, supplementation (you only need the Basic Staples - and training for fat loss (the nutrition is the same for gaining mass, except for caloric intake - the same goes for training), and it even includes sample training programmes for the beginner and more experienced trainee.

"Newbie gains" is what happens when one starts training when they have not been exercising and/or adjust their nutrition for the better. Basically it's the rapid increase in strength, lean gains, or fat loss that a beginner experiences over the first few weeks of starting a training programme. These "gains" occur as a result of their body doing something it is not used to.

No, it's NOT the only time that a recomp can occur, and an experienced trainee who knows how to manipulate their body and the factors determining its success can do this all the time - for example, I pretty much perpetually recomp.

No, it is NOT the only time you can make gains if your diet is not perfect - for example, again I'll use myself and say that my diet is the worst diet ever and I would certainly not recommend anyone follow my example, but because I know my body, I still get results by manipulating it and training factors. "Perfect" is a relative term and specific to each individual, even though there are general "guidelines" to what constitutes a "perfect" diet. Having a nutrition plan focused on your goals and needs is what you should have, and as long as that is right, then you should get results.

If you have to ask these questions, then I really do recommend that you get yourself a trainer who will individualize everything for you - and explain what they have done and why, so that you understand.
