The rows, dumbbell curls and triceps extensions were done very lightly. I need time before I can safely add weight on these.

Yup. It's not easy to gain weight when doing heavy cardio.
My shoulder hurt during the bench press on Monday, and I got a stiff neck, too. I was pretty afraid to bench again, even more so with a weight with which I am going to hit my post-surgery best next week. I suppose the stiff neck comes from the lack of range of motion in my left scapula. I have started some rear deltoid exercises and it seems to be getting better.
Let me say a few words about today’s workout. It was simply COOL! The bench press was surprising. I loaded the weight for three reps, and the reps came out so easy that I started laughing. Next week is the week for my post-surgery bests. The bench press will be a piece of cake. I never thought I would one day look forward to doing the bench press as it has always been my least favorite exercise.
