lifting heavy again

[Ericksson kramer]

I wonder after having an injury how long should you wait to start lifting heavy again like before you got injured,
I had an elbow strain from benching 220, it took me a 4 exact weeks to recover and pain is gone, but I'm afraid
as soon I do my 220 bench I will get hurt again.

these types of elbow injuries can turn into major problems. you could even start getting a pinched nerve in your elbow that causes your hands to go numb, so please just be careful

it is the motion and bend that puts strain on your elbow.

Well, having had 4 weeks off with an injury, even if you wanted to you couldn't do 220lbs again anyway. I'd start with a 100 and see how I got on
