After having set an all-time PR on my equipped bench press with 457lbs, I'm now in off season mode getting back to some heavy training while running my gym, THIRST.

This Tuesday training was a bit tricky as doing some of the pressing work puts a bit of strain on my incision area. Floor press felt good, but I didn't want to push it too much, so my weights weren't as heavy as I would have liked, but I'm refusing to use a belt until at least the 3 month post op period, so I've got about about 6-7 weeks to go until any belt work can even be experimented with. All in all, all this went better than I thought it would. I should be able to slowly ramp the weights up over the next couple weeks.
