Rex Feral said:Search "OMRON Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor" on ebay. You can pick one up brand new in the box for at least half, often less, of what you will pay locally. Some models have APS (advanced positioning sensor). These cost a bit more than the ones without APS. With APS retails for $99 or so, without is $70 or so I believe. You should be able to grab one brand new or slightly used with APS for $30-50. If you buy an arm cuff monitor, you will have to purchase a larger cuff to avoid false readings. Unless you're a skinny fucker. LOL.

AT THAT TIME I WENT IN AND HAD IT CHECKED....154/100. MY MOM WAS AN EMT...SHE TOOK IT AT HOME. THEN I WENT IN THAT SAME DAY TO HAVE THE DOC CHECK IT AT OUR LOCAL CLINIC....[I HAD BEEN DOING CARDIO 4 DAYS PER WEEK TOO]........THEY SAID MY BLOOD PRESSURE WAS FINE AND IF I WAS CONCERNED TO " JUST TAKE MY GIRLFRIEND DANCING"....CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SHIT?
ANYWAY....I STOPPED TRYING TO WEIGH 300LBS AFTER THAT.
thats the way i feel about it bro.you have to do the cardio.Kaiser said:Well, I can say this, I never wanted to become a ProBB. But, as I stated before, I had a mild stroke in the gym where I lost partial vision for a period of time which has been the nightmare of my lifetime. Granted I was not on anything for a real long time at least a year, but if it had anything to do with it, which it probably did if I am honest with myself, I definately would have been more selective on the amounts I have taken in the past. And believe it or not, I didn't really take that much. As a matter of fact, I never stacked 2 at one time until a year ago. My favorite at the time was probably TestE 500mg/wk. My doctor also explained to me that just plain "clean" heavy lifters hold a 10% higher BP than people who don't lift for weight on average. Also, part of my problem was I never did cardio and I didn't breath correctly. I was stupid not to bring the engine up to par with the body of the car. I guess I was too young and thought that cardio was "taking away" from the mass I was trying to build. To this day, when I hear someone in the forums tell a newbie to cut down on the cardio just so he can gain a couple more lbs (of water weight mind you) I want to jump through my fucking monitor and choke the person who posted it. Now, I do alot of cardio, take OTC supplements for BP and make sure I breath correctly while lifting.
