I had a heart attack at at the gym over a year ago due to a previously diagnosed heart condition. My cardiologist finally gave me the all clear to return to the gym, but with a few rules.
No more testing 1 rep max and no more intense strength training. He wants me picking a weight I can do at least 3 sets of 12 with with only a 2-3 rest between sets.
before the heart attack I was doing Greyskull variant and I tried just switching up the reps on that to something like
3 x 12 bench 3 x 12 row 3 x 12 squat
The only thing is using light weights I don't need a lot of warm-ups and the short rests means it's like a 20min workout. Barely feels worth going to the gym.
So I was wondering about my options. Just keep doing this. Do a full body routine every day (bench, row, press, chipup, squat, deadlift) or doing something like keeping with the greyskull theme, but doing 2 passes: 3x12bench, 3x12row, 3x12squat then maybe 3x12 dumb bell bench, 3x12 cable row, 3x12 leg press so that way I actually feel like I spent time at the gym.

how about you stop eating shit food and start taking cardio seriously and you’ll be fine to train however you want
By this post alone I guarantee you are not healthy or have healthy eating habits, post a picture and prove me wrong but I doubt it
nobody has a heart attack for no reason
Jordan Taylor
Nah theres people who have nerve problems in their heart and theres nothing you can do about it.
Carter Howard
Dude, heart conditions can be passed down from generations. Don't be such a prick, the OP has had enough shit going on.

Logan Reyes
I’m pretty sure no healthy natural person who exercises on a regular basis and doesn’t eat shit food just drops of a heart attack at the first sign of a raised heart rate
Levi Cox
What does a heart attack feel like?
Jaxson Wood
it's called a genetic heart defect

You’re wrong though. It can and does happen. Look up Hank Gathers. It was a notable incident.
Ryan Turner
>basketball is cardio Most basketball players are skinnyfat at best
gtfo also he was 6’7 which obviously is asking for medical problems I said a “normal” human
Mason Lewis
I'm 5'10'' 205lb. I certainly could stand to lose more weight, at my highest I was around 245lb, before i started working out.

Mine was actually pain down my right arm. I had just finished up a set of bench press and sat up because my right arm really hurt, I thought maybe I pulled a tricep but the pain was really deep in the arm, like the bone itself hurt. I started to stand up and then blacked out. Woke up in the hospital

>basketball not being cardio confirmed for never having player a serios game of basketball
Kayden Ortiz
I guarantee you any highschool wrestler would have 3x the endurance of even an NBA level basketball player
running up and down a court that is 94 feet long throwing a ball isn’t cardio
just go look how any of those NBA player train in the gym it’s all meme retarded instagram exercises
Alexander Rogers
That's terrifying
Ryan Hill
you are delusional if you think NBA players just do meme exercises
it is a billion dollar market
Grayson Hughes
>>it is a billion dollar market
yea a fucking scam one, refs have been getting paid off for fucking years
if you actually think “professional” sports aren’t rigged you are seriously mistaken
Caleb James
If you actually think you could ball on one single nba player you are seriously mistaken
Brandon Rodriguez
haha you are delusional and paranoid af
i guess the jews are behind it as well?
Samuel Jones
how about you do some research you moron there is tons of refs that have come forward saying they were paid off or would intentionally call shit that didn’t actually happen to give one team an advantage over another
I didn’t even mention anything about Jews
Wyatt Evans
I didn’t say I could beat an NBA player at basketball but I know for a fact I could destroy them in an endurance test
On the track, on the treadmill, on the bike, in a pool
basketball isn’t cardio faggot
Carter Bennett
Are you fucking RETARDED?
Mason Flores
Maybe so faggot, but they don't train for that. Nobody cares about some twink trap lover being able to run on a treadmill longer than lebron james
Joseph Morris
are you?
Hudson Butler
If you can't do what you want to do you might as well die bro. Personally I'd do hella cardio make sure I was test my hearts limits everyday as a warm-up and then continue to hit them 1rms. I don't have kids or any serious life obligations tho so dying to me doesn't really mean shit.
William Hughes
why are you so mad
my point was NBA “athletes” aren’t athletes and you still haven’t provided one thing to prove me wrong
NBA is a bunch of nigger lanklets
Kevin Morales
>NBA >not athletes Just neck yourself
Camden Martinez
long distance endurance is not a prerequisite to being an athlete, so i don't know what you are on about
Blake Morales
they’re not
sorry bud
Justin Cooper
Lmao some freshman highschool wrestler shits up the thread and nobody answers op. Just do what you feel is best for you and switch it up if you want to if you're not getting the desired results. I would suggest routines but seriously just stick to the parameters of what your cardio says. Good luck mate you can make it
Adrian Nelson
Ok

you're a fucking moron man. there is no fixing this level of stupid.
