6 weeks post surgery today, I'm feeling much more normal and almost back to myself - gym sessions aren't just wiping me out like they were a few weeks ago.
Of course I'm not at my strongest or back to full health, but I feel respectable in the gym - yesterday was back day and I was pendlay rowing 70kg comfortably and went up to a 160kg deadlift for 1 - no pain or difficulty so I'm happy.
Today was chest/shoulder/tri's - bench pressing is still the most uncomfortable exercise due to the position with exaggerated stretch placed over the abdomen - keeping the weights light here but pushing for more on the plate loaded seated pressing machines.
Give it two more weeks and I think I'll be able to start training properly again.
