▲ 2 r/marfans
What would be the max dumbbell weight we can relatively safely exercise with?
I'm a woman with marfans in my 30s. I had heart surgery over 15 years ago to replace my aortic root with a mechanical one. I've been fairly healthy since, but I want to do lightweight arm exercises regularly.
I have an adjustable dumbell set with weights ranging from 5 to 15 lbs each, and weights in between. I've been using them at 7 lbs, high reps. Is 15 lbs pushing too far, even for low reps (like 3, only one arm at a time)?
