PR train keeps rolling

Good things:

3x5 squat @ 310 (PR, but it was expert mode difficulty)

Spew:

I'm mildly concerned with my blood pressure after a dr's appt yesterday.  I've gotten it checked maybe 3 times in the past 4ish months and it's been creeping up.  Yesterday it was 148/90 or something close to that.  Need to investigate this some, but I might just go see a sports medicine specialized dr to advise me.  It's perplexing because I haven't really put on a lot of weight (up to low 170s from low 160s when I had good BP readings), my body composition isn't that horrible (probably high teens or so percentage wise), and I'm eating everything I can but it's mostly all whole foods.  Got a BP monitor to try some home readings where I may not be under duress from the cute chubby asian girl at the dr's office.  To be continued...

  2. nice work on the squat. any history of hypertension in the family? not that you need to publicly disclose your family medical history, but there's a chance genes may have a role in the bp.

  3. yeah, high BP runs in the immediate family. but those homo's are way sedentary so I figured I wouldn't have any issues.
