You'll have to send your doctor after the exact weight lifting protocol used in this study. Because our fucking failures of stroke associations do not have publicly available research findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
To assess whether resistance training (RT) slows the progression of white matter lesions (WMLs) in older women.
DESIGN:
Secondary analysis of a 52-week randomized controlled trial of RT, the Brain Power Study.
SETTING:
Community center and research center.
PARTICIPANTS:
Of
155 community-dwelling women aged 65 to 75 enrolled in the Brain Power
Study, 54 who had evidence of WMLs on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
at baseline were included in this secondary analysis.
INTERVENTION:
Participants
were randomized to once-weekly RT (1× RT), twice-weekly RT (2× RT), or
twice-weekly balance and tone (BAT). Assessors were blinded to
participant assignments.
MEASUREMENTS:
WML volume was measured using MRI at baseline and trial completion.
RESULTS:
At
trial completion, the 2× RT group had significantly lower WML volume
than the BAT group (P = .03). There was no significant difference
between the BAT group and the 1× RT group at trial completion (P = .77).
Among participants in the two RT groups, reduced WML progression over
12 months was significantly associated with maintenance of gait speed
(correlation coefficient (r) = -0.31, P = .049) but not with executive
functions (r = 0.30; P = .06).
CONCLUSION:
Engaging in progressive RT may reduce WML progression.
