MUSCLE MASS BUILDING FOR HEART PATIENTS?

  • ok so building muscle mass requires lots of stamina n power but for a heart patient it would be difficult, here i mean i am an angina patient and the doctors tell me to do simple exercises, but i am quite lean and i want to build up some mass but too much of weight lifting exhausts me, is there any muscle building program to gain mass with comparatively less physical effort ? here don be afraid i'll get a heart attack, i stop soon as it gets off limit, but still if u experts out here know any easy programs, n those which will help me build mass within a shorter period of time, just tell me pls, n yae in detail coz am not an expert n i don know many of these terms, fr information i am 17, n really i would greatly appreciate it if u could help me in any manner u can

  • Answer:

    Sorry, no other good method besides weight lifting. If you have angina then you should discuss any exercise program with your physician prior to beginning. Weight lifting increases the afterload of the heart, which is the force the heart must overcome to eject blood out. This does not lead to any problems if a person is perfectly healthy. This can cause serious problems in someone with a heart condition like angina. Therefore you should be asking your physician which exercise is appropriate for you. There are cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs for people with heart conditions to assist them in learning to exercise and build up endurance. You may benefit from this so ask your doctor if it is available where you are at. Good luck.

try power lifting. You typically do 3-5 reps and take like 5 minute breaks and lifting heavy is a great way to build solid mass and isnt to taxing cardiovascularly. I've read a few things saying creatine is good for heart problems some too. Wanted to add...if you go to the site www.massmonsterz.com and sign up (its a forum) the boards owner had heart problems and he has rebounded and lifts weights. Would do you well to talk to him.

for mass building less is more, use heavy weights for low reps. pick them up slow and make sure to breath in and out, then sit down.
