It has been a little over 2 mos. since my heart attack, and I've been doing the cardio rehab 3 days a week for about 3 weeks now. They finally gave me the go ahead to start lifting again, cutting my...

Started my cardio rehab today after my 6/3 heart attack. Had a stress test Monday and everything is looking good. Was able to hit my target rate for 30 minutes with no problems. Rate still a...

Thanks again to all the support!! I'm feeling really good today. Took a short walk. Going back to work tomorrow. Won't go back to my cardiologist until July 6th, but following up my with reg....

I've done both at my gym, Right now I bench about a 210 @ 3x5 BP, so 1RM maybe 235.

On the hammer machines I piled on 300 for reps. That would fall in that 10-30% mid range mentioned above.

guitar and woodworking are my main 2 hobbies

Dang out of the green skittles for the day, I'll rep as I get them :), thanks again everyone.

Thanks Rowyn. I have had a pretty good diet for over a year now after a period of eating whatever I want. I've never smoked. Early this year I made my diet even better. And last year I quit...

I really didn't know, I knew it was more than just pain because of the light headed and dizzy feeling, plus it felt like a big pressure on my chest making it hard to breath. It wasn't over bearing...

Yeah I have a family history plus was having some marginally high BP (130's over 80's) and I just had a health fair at work where I had some really bad #s. Over 300 cholesterol, over 300...

LOL, I really wasn't sure I was having a heart attack. I felt kinda dizzy and light headed, and it felt like I had a big muscle cramp across my chest/neck/left arm. I sat down for a few minutes...

Thanks everyone for the kind words/support. I know they are planning on a cardio rehab schedule I'll be following probably sooner than later. The doc did say we would work together to get me back...

Well I was at the gym Friday and was doing my warmup sets at the squat rack, when it hit me. Had a freaking heart attack :(.

Drove myself to the local hospital then they flew me to UNC Chapel...

I can vouch for glocasmine, I used it about 7 years ago and it did wonders for my knees, but sadly I was allergic to the shellfish in it and broke out in a rash :(. And the kinds without shellfish...

Hmm, I had total ACL replacement and some miniscus trimming, and some miniscus repair was all. The way they described the minscus repair, was one side had a very clean tear in it, almost like a...

I did a donor graft, no extra cuts on any of your other muscles, and no chance of rejection or immune response.

Honestly if all you had was the ACL you would could have the surgery and probably...

Sad to hear that :(, I tore my ACL and some miniscus in 2003 I think it was. If you tore your ACL completely its gone and no longer attached, there are no grades of tear for that. And it will never...

You may be right. All I can say is I learned to squat from Starting Strength and some online videos and I never was under the impression that doing a good morning/bending forward was ok. When I...

In the video Rippetoe says its ok at that phase of the training (with no bar on the back for the absolute beginner) for the back angle to change a little bit to help teach hip drive. He also says...

LOL, welcome to the south, otherwise none as the heart attack belt of America

I'm going to have to start doing this lol, I occasionally rip a shin up doing deads or power cleans and I'm not sure how good of a disinfectant the gym's bottles are.
