It's best to check with your Dr., but mine said nothing over 50 lb and no dead lifts or overhead presses. I'm doing 100 reps with 25 lb and I'm someone who used to leg press 100 lb for 2 sets and 80 lb lat pulldown for 3 sets. It is weird, but I'm getting used to it.

Thanks for getting back to me

I was diagnosed a few months ago with a 4.4 cm aorta aneurism, been lifting heavy for long a long time my doctor told me nothing over 50lbs, so like you i do 75 to 100 reps, it's hard to get use to
