Pesmerga posted:That's..,quite high. You might want to start with some low intensity steady exercise. Like walking briskly for 30-45 minutes or something. My idle bpm is over 90bpm lots of the day. Sitting around for a long time it dips to around 78 now. Probably the lowest it's been since I was 9-10 years old. It was at around 105-108bpm before I started working out with maybe 96-98bpm while sleeping/sitting down. I have a prosthetic aorta valve and some mild stenosis due to that as well as some thickening of the left ventricle. I wasn't even sure I'd be able to lift, but lifting has gone well besides squats. bamhand posted:Do some HIIT. 2 hours of cardio is a waste of time. I am up for trying more intense stuff that's less time consuming, though. numberoneposter posted:my max HR is like 195 lol Tolkien minority posted:are you on any meds? those can really gently caress with your heart rate. not gunna tell you to stop taking things you need obv but it might explain it. you also could just be in horrible shape My lifting conditioning is alright besides while squatting. My heart rate doesn't exceed 155bpm after sets of compounds and usually doesn't even get that high. I can do volume work just fine on all lifts except squats. To compensate, if I'm supposed to squat 10x4 I'll do 5x8 instead but adjust as necessary. I like to try to do more than 5 up to the prescribed amount, next set do 5 subtract the extras and then repeat that cycle until I hit the programmed number of reps for the day at that weight. Takes a lot of time but works well. The squat struggle makes no sense to me because I can blow my squat numbers of the water on a number of lifts that use any important parts of the squat. I can also do volume work just fine on deadlifts. Khorne fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Dec 8, 2016 |

Khorne posted:Yeah. I was going to be on the treadmill and maintain ~140bpm for 40+ minutes. I think 130-140 bpm was at around 3-3.2mph which is garbage but I could maintain it indefinitely and felt fine the whole time without even really sweating. I should have lots of easy conditioning gains. I should probably look into cardio more because I can probably keep a higher bpm fine. Woah woah. You do NOT want your heart rate at 210. Ever. At your age your target heart rate is about 165 when doing cardio, at the most. If you're getting up to 210, you need to dial it down, especially with your medical history

Got pain in my forearms when lifting. That's new to me, so I'm taking the rest of the week off. Figure it has something to do with me lowering reps in favor of higher weight, but like everyone else here I have a brain problem that makes me think I'm going to lose all my gains.

I got random knee pain today while warming up for squats. Like searing intensely hot knee pain once I hit 185. However I am no bitch and did my working sets anyways. *hobbles away on broken hips and lower back*

I am not a doctor, so all I'll say here is look after yourself mate, and don't push too hard.  This morning I did six sets of lateral raises, between 10-15 reps per set. Ow my shoulders.

Pesmerga posted:I am not a doctor, so all I'll say here is look after yourself mate, and don't push too hard. The tl;dr is I have increased risks of certain things relative to the average person but not increased enough for it to really matter. And yeah, I am careful about not pushing myself in certain ways. I don't get lightheaded or anything so that's a great sign, and I haven't gotten any chest pains either. Overall, it might even be decreasing my chances of something bad happening due to the positive effects on blood pressure, heart rate, and stuff like that. I'm still not sure how far I can take it, but judging by how things have progressed probably pretty far. If I can't handle really heavy stuff then I can always switch to more bb-centric stuff I guess. It's great finding something I can actually do, and having a surgery in march then starting lifting in june is a huge contrast to being more or less bedridden for the past few years and getting lightheaded just doing laundry or going to the store.

I did a few jerks on Tuesday and my elbows hurt with 50 so I immediately stopped because working through pain is net negative for gains in the long run.

Khorne posted:I read a poo poo ton of actual research, case studies, etc, and I also got this stuff approved by 2 cardiologists and my thoracic surgeon. It was a big decision. And the first week or two sucked because my heart rate would borderline max at times. If that didn't improve I would have quit lifting really quick. Since then, it has been all good pretty much. I was a cardiology nurse for a long time and when I read "artificial valve" and "stenosis" and your heart rate, I went  Glad to hear your docs gave you the go ahead and you're going for it, though. For christ's sake don't get your heart rate so high though, fool! I've seen tons of patients who just go full-sedentary-mode when they have a valve replacement/stents/what have you and those are the ones that do crappy post-op, so you're definitely staying ahead of the curve!Also, all OHP last night with some lateral and rear delt stuff. Hurts so good. Still unable to lure 'roid bros into the garage despite leaving a subtle trail of creatine and PWO. May need to start working out in nothing but leather chaps. a mysterious cloak fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Dec 8, 2016 |

Foam rolling quads and couch stretching should relieve it if it keeps hurting, helps me a bit. Was more like the insertion into the knee on the left side, right above the VMO. Literally never had pain there before. Went away immediately after I stopped squatting so probably just my A+++ mobility in action again.

Hey knee problem fellows I busted my knee, snabbed the MCL and had to do surgery... The deceptive thing was it didn't really hurt all that much but the doc said it was realll busted up and lifting on that busted knee was fully retarded. So I had the surgery but the knee never fully recovered. It's at like 90% or something and still feels weird if I put it under pressure If you got knee problems, like recurring ones, please see a medicine man

My guess is that he is on permanent disability from the government and has a lot more time to work out than everyone in this thread. Also I have both of my legs, so I'm going to use them both because I realize the chances of getting hurt by only using one leg is astronomically higher than concentrating on my form and doing the lift properly. WODs are loving dumb.
