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.

yup, looks like the "s" in "https" was the issue. weird.

the calculators do pop up when i click on the text, but they still just show up as text. the icons showed up when i first opened up the forum earlier this morning but now they don't. except the gorilla.

arm as relaxed as possible and roughly at heart level, yes.

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?

robert burns. that poem is awesome, the opening lines are just awesome:

wee sleekit, cowrin' tim'rous beastie,
oh what a-panics in thy breastie?
thou need na start awa sae hasty,
wi' bickerin' brattle!
i wid be laith t'rin an' chase thee
wi' murd'rin' prattle!

doubt you've taken enough creatine to fuck with your kidneys that severely. how often do you measure BP? did you do the reading at home or was it done at the doctor's office?

if at home, take it again in the morning, right after you wake up. get up and pee if you have to go and then go back to bed and lie down for five minutes or so before taking it. 161/90 is high but it's not at danger level for someone your age unless it becomes chronic. about six years ago i got measured at like 150/90 at the doctor, repeated on a few visits. she freaked out a little and ordered lots more tests and shit: x-rays, MRI. then i left for chile and spent a whole year taking my own measurements like every two or three days. it was consistently 138/85 or so, which is still way too high.

but then i got back, went back to the doc, and my BP was 120/70. five years later, got it measured last week when i went in for being sick and it was 122/80. so it was just a false alarm.

TLDR: don't worry yet.

doc called again this afternoon, just to check in. i feel fine now. i actually felt fucking spectacular this morning but unfortunately it had worn off by the time i got to the gym tonight. still no word on the west nile, i'm supposed to call back on thursday if i haven't heard from them. my roommate is now sick, presumably with the same virus.   

BW = 176
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right wrist feels like i jammed it (?)
FATIGUE = low to moderate

- warm up

- DLRVJ x 7
bad, mostly 31-32, one 32.5

- squat 275 x 8,8,8

- SS1: dip x 10
- SS1: inverted row x 10
- SS1 info: 5 rounds, minimal rest between exercises, ~30s between rounds. will up reps and decrease sets next time.

- hanging leg raise x 10,10,10

- ab pull down x 30

- stretch

pissed about the jumps, i felt pretty good but the explosiveness was just not there. oh well. squats were very solid.
