Same here, at worst I get a twinge, and I'd have to have a lot of caffeine and add a little stress at work to even do that. I had the ablation a few weeks ago, so maybe I still need to give it a little time. But I can push a heart rate of 190 on the bike (I'm 37 y.o.) and not even get a twinge.
LCI Brian: I've noticed your avatar also on the Wrightwood California Forum. Do you live up here in God's country? If you do, I live by the country club on the corner of Twin Lakes and Elm. Stop by and say hello sometime!
