+ 4 Take Care of yourself!
I am 24yrs, 5'10 187 lbs at 10-11% body fat and I was in the Army and was fighting MMA(Just like Nitti and Mwagner and lots of others here), I thought i was in great cardio shape.
Well Just found out my Blood pressure is 170/100 on average sometimes higher on given days. Which angers me because i thought i was more healthy.
At first I though maybe it was from the cycles I had done. I had a bunch of tests run...
I mean everything blood tests, echo cardio grams, catscan, etc and found nothing, no connection to the cycles, no reason why I have it now, no damage. The doc said he was UPSET that he didnt find the reason.
The only family history of it that i know of is my father. He passed away in 2005.
So, Im taking medicine every day now to keep my levels down.
All I'm saying is you should do to know how your organs are functioning. How do you know what is going on with your body and your organ health if you don't get checked at least Twice per year?
Wife and kids? Don't you owe it to them to at least try and Moniter your health? You can't do something like go on 30 cycles over a decade and not get checked.
There's alot of badass's on Eroids FOR SURE
When one of your organs fails,or another major health ailment takes you down, then you will see right away that you are not made of molten steel, but flesh and bones.
Some guy was asking about his Liver in another Thread and it motivated me to Post this thread
All i'm saying is that Your blood pressure, triglycerides, liver values, and kidney function, homocysteine levels should also be monitored regularly.
Maybe it all comes down to Genetics, Because my father DID have high blood pressure.

Good shit, this post made me start to really think about my inside. My cardio is so so. I'm 5'6 189lbs and I sweat like I'm 500+lb. was told by the doc it could just be genetic. BP is a little high but doc said it was due to having my exterior carotid artery cut ( got tonsils taken out and pos cut my artery long story). Def will start getting more bloods done. Good lookin out bro.
I'm glad you're wise enough to realize that you need to take care of the inside of your body too! many ppl forget all about that or seem to think the outside takes care of the inside or that they two are not even connected! you are right too about an organ not functioning properly or getting a serious illness whether it be long term or short; how you find out rather quickly just how unbreakable you're not...its a very humbling experience....
btw BP is hereditary but that does not mean you are doomed....exercise is a big BP stabilizer and there are quite a few natural remedies too
good post +1
Nice post! I found an alternative to herbal liver support drugs. It's called essential forte-n. I Was running halo with Aromasin and proviron in my cycle when I got the bloods done on it. Shockingly all hepatic functions in normal range even with halo. Bloods bloods bloods. Genetics plays a key role but we have the power to control out fate with aas. As for the conditioning and cardiovascular health, I have never had an issue. Might be genetic, might be the years and years of boxing. I don't know but I am always in tip top physical condition. Cardiovascular health is more important than anything. You can have all the muscles in the world, if you don't have the conditioning to control them and prevent them from going into failure, they're friggen useless. I'm getting stronger and stronger but maintaining my conditioning. I'm ready to fuck me up a big mufukr! Lol. Maybe I'll dust the gloves off soon. 5lbs more and ill be heavyweight.
juice12345678Very sorry to hear all this....
I read below that you just did EQ? How long after the EQ did you take your blood pressure?
I'm assuming you know that EQ raises Red Blood Count? which raises blood pressure (It sometimes takes up to two months for the sides to decrease)
Also....
I suggest you try these products....
BeetRoot Juice (It will lower your Systolic immediately after a large glass....)
I tend to split one Cup into 1/3'rds throughout the day
CoQ10
Helps with heart cell health
Taurine
Helps with cramps like we all know....but also with regulating the heart and it's function
Hawthorn Berry
Excellent at lowering Syst. and Diast. blood pressure
Cod Liver Oil (Specifically better for BP)
I hope this helps etc.

Marcel1229Do they lift in the Army? I know it's more about cardio but you still, I've seen some ridiculous huge soldiers. And sorry about your father bro RIP, was your dad a fit person like you?
Very thoughtful post brother. I was an avid triathlete, pro Thai boxer, Olympic wrestler, judo etc. Not to mention I am still an active instructor for the Navy SEALs program. And I have never smoke or drank except on rare occasions for drinking, and I climb some of the tallest mountains in the world. Despite a high cardio regime and all of that extensive training I had high blood pressure. And It confounded the doctors, they would look at me and say the machine must be off. This was before using steroids. What I did was cut out all red meat, added chicken, fish, and even lean pork. Also L-arginine a very pure form and that brought my BP down to perfect levels. I am a health fanatic even over how I look outwardly I get tested every month with extensive panels to best serve my health. I don't know if what works for me will work for you but I do wish you the best I know it was a very frustrating issue for me.
HardBodEricNever knew any of that about you Pank Your pretty fkn Legendary , Also Judo Helped me out alot in my life.
Also Your like the 4th person to tell me about L Arginine, So i'm all over it now, thank you for responding brother.
No problem brother and I do think the L-Arginine will help but keep us posted with a follow up. I do believe posts like this help many people who thought they were out there alone with their issue,
Good call on the l-arginine
RustyhookerDamn bro! Hope you find out the causes and get it under control. You're too damn young for bad issues.
What kind of gear are you running? Almost every compound can elevate bp to some degree, with some worse than others. If its a genetic disposition to hypertension, then it's gonna be a lifelong battle if you're already having issues with it at your young age. I get a full panel ran every three months by my family doctor. I'm TRT and they monitor things closely for me. I also check my bp every time I'm near a machine like at Walmart or CVS. Guys need to remember that you're no good to anyone if you're unhealthy on the inside. Like a badass car with a shitty motor.
HardBodEricTest and Mast cycles is what i like to run, I recently won EQ from trivia. So i tried that recently.
No worries about me though, I'm already prepared to do what i have to do for myself, I'm doing all i can. I made this post for Other young guys that are inexperienced.
Also i Have seen alot of Sex threads and ( jerk off 20 times a day) threads, why don't these guys quit that shit and develop a passion in working out? if you have THAT kind of time, Then they should be be able to workout.
Lmao I haven't seen any jerk off threads yet. Maybe they just want a really strong forearm and wrist. Possibly training for some sort of jerk off marathon.
