weightlifting

Hi....Im a 52 year old male and had a pacemaker put in om Aug.24th, 2007. My question is this:
I have been lifting weights my whole life even competiing in powerliting. Once I give myself the necessary time to heal, will I be able to continue my weight training?

You would have to check with your doctor, but in my case after I had healed and waited a little extra I was allowed full range of motion and no weight restrictions. I did have some soreness and pain once in awhile but it all worked out after about 6 months. Good luck, Boatman

A properly implanted and adjusted pacemaker will not even be noticeable after you get over the surgery.
