    Talking Cardiac athlete passes 40 as a competitive runner/rower

    I have two events I am currently training for:
    Rowing: SWEAT (Southwest Ergometer Amateur Tournament) in February 2018. Standard 2km indoor event on a rowing machine.
    Running: Leadville (Colorado) Heavy Half in June 2018. The race distance is 15.46 miles and includes 3,720 feet of elevation gain. The peak elevation is 13,185 feet (Mosquito Pass).

    I finished my novice linear progression (NLP) with the following:
    Press 87.5 (from 55)
    Deadlift 265 (from 135)
    Bench 135 (from 100)
    Squat 220 (from 135)

    I am a 39 year old male, 195 pounds, and 6'5" tall.

    I have a connective tissue disorder which means I AM A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE insomuch as I have unique exercise guidelines I follow. The gist is that I tend to favor a top end set of 20 reps and I also avoid the valsalva maneuver. Both are designed to avoid spikes in systolic blood pressure. Both result in some pretty sad weight totals. But, hey, I'm alive.

    My NLP is logged over at: I broke my foot and ended up here… with you... doing a novice linear progression.

    Finally getting to the point where doing 6 lifts in one sessions is too much. Will try one more before deciding on a split.
