I hit a post surgery pr. I got 310 for 2 reps on the hammer strength incline press.

I thought that I would check and see where my strength was, and it's coming along nicely.

Excellent

What's your all-time PR on that sucker? What did your warm-ups look like today, or were you already pretty warm by the time you hit the HIP?

310's 3 wheels and 2 10's per side, ain't it?

IMHO, that's not at all bad for that machine. Most trainers seem to stick to a rather dinky 140 on the thing; a few will go to 180, and a handful I've seen go over 270 for 6+ reps. I only know 2-3 trainers, including myself, who've gone 320+ for more than a couple of reps. A very rare few go to 360 or more...I've only seen one, IIRC. I think I tried 360 once and got it for a single (?). That's been awhile, and it'll be a long time before I get to do that again, I bet, with my own weirdo injury :lol:

Anyway, I bet if more people treated the exercise with the respect it deserves, their numbers would improve. Most guys I see out of the corner of my eye treat it like they would cable crossovers...*sigh*

Yep, 3 45's and 2 10's per side. I was surprised at how my strength had come along. I thought going in that my max would be around 270.

My warmups went like this

12x90
10x180
8x230
6x270
4x290
2x310

I know, that's a lot of warmups, but with my shoulder I am not taking any chances. As for my previous max, I am not real sure. I never really checked my maxes, but my last working sets before my injury were 360. It's been around three months since my surgery, so I will get back to 360 in a couple months.

Naw, looks good. I can't blame you for being careful Three months out of the surgery you're kicking ass.

I'd race you to 360, but I doubt I'm going to come out of the hole and be doing work sets with my former ~1RM material inside of 2 months, LOL. As it is now, my right side's having a lot of trouble with a lowly 270 *frowns* (Hopefully this book I've ordered, and the ART gal I know, can help out a lot. It's pretty stupid-looking to do all these reps with the left side, then a handful with the right. D'oH!)

But enough about me. May we all heal up such that we can destroy ourselves again...*raises goblet in toast*
