@paparazi257 Well the open heart surgery (aortic valve repair) was done last Wednesday!
I went to the gym today and walked for 60 minutes straight.
I'm allowed to lift dumbbells/weights 10 lbs. and under for the next 12 weeks until my sternum heals and I'll have full clearance, which then I'll ease back into Lyle McDonald's GBR.
How should I setup my 10 lb. lifting routine in the meantime? I'm not allowed to do any overhead work.
I was thinking:
4x week, 3 sets x 10-15 reps
DB Split Squat
Leg Extensions
Seated Leg Curl
DB Standing Calf Raise
DB Bench Press or Machine
One Arm DB Row or Machine
DB Curl
Triceps Pushdown
Rope Pullover
DB Lateral Raise
Any thoughts?Or could I just do Lyle McDonald's GBR with 10 lb. weights?
