Reply With QuoteIs the 165 for 10 reps the Dr.s orders? In other words, is he ok with the weight you are using?
If so, I would say bench 3 times a week for like 3 sets x 8 reps on a "wave system. Something like this:
Week 1
Mon
145 3x8
Wed
160 3x8
Fri
175 3x8
Week 2
Mon
150 3x8
Wed
165 3x8
Fri
180 3x8
Then drop to twice a week:
Mon
155 3x8
Fri
185 3x8
Then get into a 5x5 program.

I had a repair of a completely torn rotator cuff last august.
I am still recoving, but am up to 245 for 10, on the bench. I snapped it while maxing out, so I want to keep reps high in perpetuity.
Basically, I have just been training as normal, while eating well and using helpful supplements like MSM, chondroitin, glucosamine, l-carnosine, ALCAR and others.
If you are interested I could dig up a link to my recovery journal.

Keep your diet clean and get plenty of good protein. I also fear your going to push the shoulder to hard, kinda get that feeling looking at your post. Dont set ANY time limits for getting back to your prior strength, the last thing you want to do is re-injur it. Forget the doctor, he doesnt know your body. Only you do. If hes a surgeon then you probably know more about sports rehab then he does.
Patience is the key. Back off, enjoy your lifts,take your days off, and be patient. You have a whole life ahead of you...........take care..................Rich
