It's 16 weeks post surgery and I feel good about things. Decided to bench straight weight (no reverse bands) for the first time post surgery today and just see how it feels.

bench

bar for 10 reps

95 for 5 reps

135 for 3 reps

155 for 3 reps

185 for 3 reps

225 for 3 reps

275 for 3 reps

300 for 3 reps

 

dumbbell press

35's for 3 sets of 10 reps

 

chins

3 sets of 5 reps

 

angle bar standing military press

85 for 4 sets of 10 reps

 

I was extremely pleased with the bench today. Originally I figured I do some work with 135 but things just felt good so I kept going. Dave recommended to do max effort work but keep the rep speed to about 50% so that is what I did up to 300.
