i would not otherwise show concern in a of a bp of 139/84, if my 'off' bp was 120/80....but seeing as it ranges from 80/50-110/60, that is a significant jump. i was just wondering how much the average on-cycle bp jump is...
thanks for the input...it's greatly appreciated:)

There was a revision here in the states no too long ago that says that a BP of less than 130/85 is considered normal; 130-139/85-89 is high normal; and greater than 140/90 is considered high. I know my BP elevates to almost 160/90 when I'm cycling, but I don't get overly concerned because I really don't feel the effects of it. My normal BP is around 130/85. If you start to have headaches, feel dizzy, lightheaded or expirience any vertigo, thats when I would start to get really concerned and either cut back on the anabolics or go see your doc to have it treated with medication. Its really hard to say what an average jump in BP is because everyone is different bro.
