Okay, please bear with me for this weird question, but I prefer to ask it to people who actually like lifting, rather than to people who'll give me one look, see a prone-to-be-fat girl, and semi-pamper me by telling me "it's okay hon" just because they think I'm lazy and just looking for excuses. Or give me wrong answers because they believe I won't bust *** and will be okay.
Here goes: in two days, there's a blood donation organized on the campus, and I plan on going. I'll go around 10 am, will probably donate around 10:30, and then be fed as usual. The thing is, one of my planned weight-lifting session is on the same day at 4 pm. I know that you're not supposed to take part in 'violent exercise' after donating blood, but is lifting okay? (I can focus on working legs instead of arms, if necessary.)
Of course, I lift heavy (8 reps to failure on average), and not the 30-reps-with-itty-bitty-weights way. That's why I'm a little worried about that. The last time I've asked the doctors there, it seemed they didn't knew very well what "lifting heavy" implied, and all I got was rather of the "maybe yes, maybe no" kind. :|
