Senior Member ILikeMyHair Posted April 19, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi guys, I have read a bunch of threads here on workout after HT and I feel that most of the community kind of agrees on cardio after 3 weeks and moderate weights after 6 weeks. I'll probably stay off weights for 3 months, but I was wondering if high intensity cardio exercises can affect the donor scar. For example, -I like to do M100s and add explosive pushups to it (where you are lifted off the ground). ( check out M100s here )-sprint break sprint break etc. -Skipping really fast -explosive squats -plyometrics? (of this nature: ) Is this kind of cardio OK? Also just wondering if doing supermans (for your back) puts pressure on your scalp. Is this akin to doing crunches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gettinold Posted April 19, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted April 19, 2012 My post op instructions said that it was safe to go back to lifting weights and excersizing after 1 week, when the grafts are fully secure. I did, so hopefully it's alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know when you had your HT, but if it's only been 2-3 weeks, you might want to call them and ask them again specifically if moderate weights or high weights are allowed. Besides I don't know if FUE or FUT makes a difference. Just confirm with your clinic again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
