High Blood Pressure concerns before beginner cycle

**bwatcher949** · 04-27-2010, 08:18 AM

Hey guys, I'm a complete newbie here. Here's what I got. I'm 24 years old, 5'11", 192lbs. Overall I'm not cut, but have some size. I don't quite have a 6 pack yet either. I been doing a pyramid lifting routine mixing 3 days lifting and 3 days cardio for the past few months while eating around 2000 cals a day on cardio days and 2500 a day on lifting days. Taking celltech, nitrotech, omegas and fishoil. In the past 6 weeks I lost about 9lbs of fat and gained a little bit.

Now, with that being said, I feel like I want to see bigger & faster gains.

I take 20mg of linsinopril a day for high blood pressure. I'd like to start a 6-8 week cycle of test only but my biggest worry is the blood pressure.

I was debating a low dose of oral but the more I read, the more I hear it's a waste. I just don't want to blow my pump out. You only get 1!

I really would value your feedback.

Also, I want to continue to cut as I gain. I'm not 4% body fat like I wish I was.

I take Bystolic for my BP.. when I am on cycle or taking the juice, I usually take another 1/2 of my recommended dosage for the day just to help keep it in order.. Most blood pressure medicined are just some sort of Beta Blocker anyway... mostly harmless unless you took a lot of extra. It would just make someone without high BP tired and mellow

personally my b/p shoots up 8 to 10 pts while on cycle! i always use test as a base. when i introduced deca to a cycle b/p went thru the roof! off cycle i am perfectly normal. i know u want to get bigger and stronger but is it really worth it? u seem to be doin pretty good with the natty approach!

Hmmm... What if I did test for a week and closely monitored the BP?

If not, maybe a low dose oral cycle?

I just want more immediate results.

depending on what test u use. u wont see results till at least 2 wks after first shot (prop). im not a fan of orals so i cant elaborate on that! but if ur hell bent on using i would plan 8 wks of test prop around the 50-75mg mark eod! monitor ur b/p! especially close when u start to get around the 10 day mark if b/p starts to spike cut it take ur pct and enjoy the natty approach! if b/p is stable i would cont 8 wks with the same cycle monitoring b/p and recording my results! after pct and a complete recovery check ur b/p stats and plan ur next accordingly!
