1	Question about activities that can substitute lifting I see what you mean, but it's not about heart rate: in people with my defect, the ascending aorta has a tendency to expand more than in normal people, and isometric exercises, doctors told me, make the blood pressure rise very high; coupling the fact that I have a natural tendency to have an expanded ascending aorta, doctors fear that over time my aorta walls will grow too thin and they will rupture.	/r/askTRP	09/05/16 07:53 PM
1	Question about activities that can substitute lifting First off, I'd like to thank you for your answers. The last doctor I talked to a couple months ago said that I can't lift weight, specifying that I can't even lift my own weight, so no bodyweight. I've been talking to doctors every time I go for the routine check-up visit (every couple of years), and I've always been told that bodybuilding and lifting weights are a no-no for me, and I can do every sport that requires body movement. And yes, my goal is to build muscle.	/r/askTRP	09/05/16 04:37 PM
1	Question about activities that can substitute lifting Sure, my bad for not pointing this out from the start: I have a congenital heart defect (bicuspid aortic valve). edit: forgot the "not" between for and pointing.	/r/askTRP	09/05/16 01:04 PM
