    Does anyone know when it’s safe to work out completely? Including press ups and heavy lifting. My surgeon said it’s fine to go back to the gym after 6 weeks, does this mean I can do every exercise? Thanks in advance xx

    Hi Nicole,
    Every surgeon has their own advice so it’s important you listen to them. The advice is normally 6 weeks no heavy lifting and then just start off light and see how you get on after that. Some surgeons do suggest not training chest or upper body for 12 weeks so just double check what your surgeon advises and then just take it slowly! X

    6WPO you can do most things, I wouldn’t recommend heavy chest weights tho. Ease yourself back into chest, everything else I pretty much went back to my usual weights on tho x
