Seated row: 85 lbs, 7.5 reps,  2:40 min
Chest Press: 85 lbs, 3.5 reps, 1:16 min  I had 2 false starts as I forgot to hit the timer. so fatiuged the muscle.

note that my times to failure have increased or weight increased. signifying gain in muiscle strength.  most important is the time to failure, not neccessarily the reps.  I did decrease in bicept curl due to not having done it for 2 weeks.  You want to be within a 45 sec-2.5 min range, if exceed 2.5 min neet to up the weight.

had hernia surgery 2 days ago.  will stay out of the gym for 5 weeks

Just a quick education if you please? I'm confused about time to failure = strength gain? Wouldn't increase time to failure = increase in endurance?
