If I go by doctor’s marching orders, it is supposed to be roughly another 10 days until I return to doing upper body exercise at the gym. I have already been doing some minor stuff at the gym last week that involved my upper body. Today I actually did some bench pressing.
I was very cautious about doing it, first starting with bar only and going through the complete range of motion, making sure I did not feel any tension on the shoulder near the incision spot. I did a number of reps but never went beyond my normal warm up weight of 135 pounds. It felt good to at least do something with my upper body but that is not saying my actions are what I would recommend to others.
