    Great video! About 5 weeks ago I had a STEMI, 100% blockage of my LAD...the recovery process is wild, especially mentally....so tired of being hyper sensitive to feelings in my body & wondering if it's another issue with my heart. Start Cardiac rehab in a few days, looking forward to it. Was very athletic prior to this, so videos like yours, letting me know I can get bk to training eventually mean the WORLD to me. Thanks!

    I am in my early 50s and still lift pretty heavy. I basically stopped doing cardio as it was wrecking my knees, which started to have issues from Judo and BJJ a few years back. I found lifting is the Number One way to stay in shape. Just my take.

    THANK YOU FOR THE DIRECT INFORMATIVE CONTENT. So I'm beginner and I want to know what I should do from the moment I walk out from home to get back, should i just do these 3 exerciese per workout or do I have to add some warm-up cardio or stretches or and pre -compound exercise to warm up like the squats doing leg extensions and curls or that is not for beginners and for the more advanced levels. I also want to know if it is okay to play basketball on off days. Thanks again.

    • @BarbellLogic
      @BarbellLogic 13 днів тому

      Good questions. Warm up: can simply do light barbell exercises to warm up, generally, though you can do a general warm up if you want (e.g. like a short 5 minute cardio type thing). Here is a video we did on warming up: ua-cam.com/video/ye11IGhcS5A/v-deo.htmlsi=EheKAX13BAnoIrdF Yes, fine to play BBall on your off days, though pay attention to your recovery. It may actually work better to play basketball on days you lift so you have days off. Ensure you at least have one day completely off (no cardio, basketball, or lifting). 3 exercises or just fine. 2 basic options. 3x weekly total body Squat 3x5 Press or Bench PRess 3x5 Deadlift 1x5 OR 4-day split Lower (2x weekly) Squat 3x5 Deadlift 1x5 Upper Press 3x5 Bench Press 3x5 (optional) Chin-ups or similar

    Lol uh, no. My cardiologists, and surgeon all disagree with you. That spike in blood pressure stresses all your heart valves. Some of his patients are bodybuilders that once had healthy hearts, but developed leaky valves from doing exactly this. I've had a valve replacement and I am allowed to lift lighter weights, higher reps, as long as I absolutely do not perform the valsalva. My new valve works okay, but they don't want me stressing it. You're not supposed to be straining during poops either. We all do because we're in a rush and also probably don't have eat healthy enough to have smooth poops. The goal is to keep your heart healthy and not strained.

    • @rip8930
      @rip8930 6 днів тому

      Sure bud, they totally developed leaky hearts from bracing during exercise and not from blasting tren and t. Unless your cardiologist is with his patients 24/7 to see their habits day in and day out, his guess is as good as anyone’s.

    With squats, if you're starting out as a beginner or are at an advanced stage, I've come to believe that doing them with dumbbells is massively better then barbells. Your centre of gravity is lower, it's easier to do a deep squat because if you can't get up, you just drop the dumbbells on the floor, and most importantly, it's kinder on your neck and spine. And for all those reasons, I think it's also a much safer exercise.
