A great mentality to have but not when you're just getting back into it after extended time off. Your muscles need time to react, they will have atrophied but they will come back thanks to muscle memory. It doesn't happen overnight. I would give it 2-3 weeks of good quality workouts before you can start really pushing yourself without risk of a major injury or brutal stiffness.

Remember: Form > Weight
