hypertension

[beefyin]

how many people on this board have hyper tension and still training heavy????

 

[mjaym]

how high bp do you consider hypertension?

 

[Liftbig]

my blood pressure is like 129/85. i think thats fairly good for me. i know people who have had it as high as 180/120, blood coming from there nose, and they still train.

 

[beefyin]

somewhere in the region of 140/90......does it effect the bp by training heavy and what about the superheavy weights they surely must have elevated bloodpressure

 

[dg21]

I'm not a superheavy but I'm damn close. I don't remeber the exact numbers but my bp was not high last time I checked.

When I lift my bp must get real high though though, cause I blow blood vessels in my eyes during meets.

If I did have high bp, I'd lift anyway.

I have high bp, but I train as heavy as I can..

I know the same people as liftbig, if any thing it might help reduce some tension which might be causing it imo.....or they just might be really pissed off people lol.

 

[Liftbig]

i think they just like to bleed while they lift.

take some lotensin, b/p medicine or take some xanax for dual purposes.
