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.
