title: Ask the doctor.  I had a pacemaker implanted a few months ago.  I am planning to join a gym to get back some strength in my arms and upper body, but I am afraid of damaging the wires with some of the presses and pull down movements I would have to do to work out on the gym's machines.  Are there any exercises or movements I should avoid?
