Post-Top Surgery
Hey guys,
5 weeks post-op from double incision top surgery here and itching to get back to the gym. Was wondering if anyone here has experience or tips on easing back into lifting post surgery. I was really sedentary for the first four weeks but am back to biking/elliptical workouts, and at this point, the chest and scars are pretty stable. It feels like its time to hit the weightroom. Any exercises to absolutely avoid (push-ups seem like they would really stress the scars...) or thoughts on starting weights (I'm guessing really low weights and high reps?)
Thanks yo,
J
