**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[NACH3]

At my last doctors appointment she told me I was in the obese range because I'm 5-11 and over 200 lbs. I said look at me do I look fat? Well I'm just telling you you are in the range. So I took of my shirt and hit a double bicep and most muscular and walked out. No I didn't.

Shit we're all obese than lmao...
My chart at 5'10" said the same... but my doc said your obviously not as you look better than someone in that range - first doc that agreed lol

Age 17.
I was in the Royal Navy and the BMI chart said the same. "Morbidly obese".

Height 6'4"
Weight 250lbs

So the doc says he can't sign me off as healthy. Had to call in the chief medical officer. She walked in, looked once and said nonsense. Signed my sheet and left.

At the time I didn't train and had some extra pounds. But I wouldn't have even said I was "fat" at that point. BMI is a very primitive system. And it's unfortunately the go to format for most doctors. They don't know what else to do. Chart says obese. Regardless of how your actual body composition looks!

I don't even bother with my employers health screening for free HSA $...it would all be worth it but since I would be considered obese due to them using the stupid ass BMI height to weigh calculations I would have to due a bunch of conference calls with a "health coach" to devise a plan to get my weight down lol...im a busy man I don't have time for bullshit...

LOL, I block those calls. Tbey contribute a grand, but it's worth the extra $300 they give if you do the stupid screening.

Since he is very familiar with your health history, I would kind of get a feel what he was going to prescribe and work from there, Nach.

[almostgone]

I'm on Carvedilol

Same.here carvedilol and candesartan. Absolutely couldn't tolerate lopressor/metoprolol when the heart shot the crapper and they switched me to Coreg/carvedilol. For a beta blocker, I really like it. Was also on Altace for a bit but was able to ditch it.

[almostgone]

Things are getting hectic at work, but am aiming to shoot for lifting EOD @ a minimum. Hopefully can get a couple.of back to back lifting days here and there, although there will probably be a rest day before and.after squat day.
If I can hurry and wrap this sideshow up, I can nail shoulders tonight. Probably go see the phlebotomy cutie here soon, pull a CBC afterwards, and if still a tad high, I'm.eligible.to donate.

Buy a BP monitor.

[songdog]

Thinking of changing my split, almost a year I dont change it significatively. Maybe will be back to:

Arms
Chest/back
legs
shoulders/traps

Dont know if the wife will let me add an extra day in the gym to change it further

Do you have too raise your hand and ask permission to use the bathroom also

[DCI]

Great pics guys in here.

That's quite normal. Seems most staff at doc's offices tend to rush you in the room, barely give you a moment to breath then slap the cuff around your arm and get the reading. Always in a rush to get the numbers fast and move on. I've told them no and to go through their questions first. I don't think they appreciated it but I explained why. Fvck em.

You're lucky. They take me back to the room and make me wait 30+ minutes for anyone to come in.

Same exact way. I got three completely different results in one day.

Home- 125/79
GP - 130/85
Cardiologist- 110/62

It's crazy. But it also has to do with cuff size, feet placements, everything.

And this too. Every little factor I have come to find out changes your results.

Palms up, feet flat on floor, first thing when u wake up.

Do this for a few weeks and get your average going. Then go to doc, sometimes ur home bp monitors are off so u adjust accordingly

It's never a loss. Get your mind right. Put everything out of your head for an hour. Focus son. You can deal with her shit latter. Get your ass back in the gym and become a legend.

Tomorrow is a new day. Separate, compartmentalize, focus. Use it to put a fire in you. Forget about today. Focus on tomorrow. You'll never get today back.
