I had a acromioplasty surgery done may 5th its been almost 6 weeks. i can do pulling exercises no problem. but pushing is a whole other story my physical therapist has me doing hammer strength machine presses i am only using 35s and it hurts like hell about half way down. how long until i wont have that pain and can get back to lifting decent weight? i was doing 400 on the bench before this. the dr said 8 weeks but i dont see that at all. just need some advice from another lifter that had this done. if i did not lift i would be fine. It does not bother me anymore for day to day things i even went bowling last night with no problem. I just cant press for shit.
