Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: High blood pressure
« on: October 03, 2012, 12:36:29 pm »arm as relaxed as possible and roughly at heart level, yes.
If I let my arm rest against something (like the margin of a table) in an effort to relax my biceps, the value grows from 13 to ~15.
value of what? i always took my bp lying down, for what it's worth.
The high value. I think it's the systolic pressure. If you have 150 with 85, I mean the "150".
then why did you omit the 0's? whatever, anyway, that's weird. also, yes, the higher number is systolic.
Because here we don't say "you have 153 by 84", we say "you have 15.3 by 8.4"
I think it's mm of hg (mercury).

Although those wooden lines in the wall don't seem distorted at all.

« on: October 03, 2012, 09:47:01 am »yeah,
I've read bretts book and am quite familiar with their justification. if he had the machine for sale then maybe. I also dont think they are needed. but if people wanna do them no problem. also my thighs are too big. I would need someone to deadlit the bar on to me or set up a platform... I guess that shows I attempted to try them... see... too awkward
Com'on man, you'd look really sexy doing them

You probably don't need to worry about it. It would be safer if you have knee issues probably.

Probably^^^
I took my blood pressure again keeping my arm in a different position and I had a much lower value so... no idea.

« on: October 02, 2012, 03:37:51 pm »so....see a doctor? this has been a problem for a long time and a medical professional has never given you any kind of advice or diagnosis?
They did. He said "exercise more". I was like "right...".

If you jump quite a bit you don't care about the stretch reflex during squatting.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: acole14's journal - DUNK OR DIE
« on: October 02, 2012, 10:18:53 am »I swear you're the most overanalyzing guy on this forum at this point.
That would be entropy, he is the king and he knows it.
yeah but he does it for himself.
They both need to take it from me: the "former" king of overanalysis - it doesn't worth it, especially at our level. Yes of course you need to think about stuff, you need to be smarter than the naturally genetic freak since programming is going to be a bit more important, but still... don't lose the big picture.
You're going to come back after some time and end up with a very simple routine and think "what it took me so long to come up with this?!" like the JackM split for example.
But if you're passionate about it then it's cool being a bit of a overanalyser.

Thanks for the replies guys. This is a very serious issue. I had 140/80 when I was 14 years old, basically in eight grade. I'm feeling ill (tired, dizzy, "weird", weak etc etc etc) every day since ~21 years old and not surprisingly, since I'm at a very high blood pressure ever since then.
No wonder I feel like passing out after squatting or playing aggressive basketball defense for example. Even staying in my home I'm dizzy and stuff like that. Granted that might just be anxiety/because I go to sleep late etc, but still - I'd be able to say it's just anxiety etc if I had a normal blood pressure number.
When I come home from lifting/basketball I usually feel much better, probably I dehydrate myself a bit etc and my blood pressure goes down.
I took it this morning right after waking up - it was 150 by 85.
