2 weeks in and my blood pressure is already high.

Here's 3 in a row, controlled breathing after cig, on 1.5g gear.

As I was taking my 4th reading I got a text from girlfriend, I'd rather not post those results. It was way way higher with pulse in 100's lol.

Always take 3 back to back readings calm, and at rest for 5 minutes

I would increase cardio as that will have a very positive affect on your bp. Lowering your body fat will also have a significant impact on bp so I'm not sure how lean you are currently but that's def something to consider. When I was 230 at 16% bf I consistently had high blood pressure and as I brought my weight down and bf down it normalized. Now even on tren it's within normal range!

The good news is it's not always high which indicates that it's probably stress related and in that case you can try breathing techniques and as corny as it sounds you can also do some meditation in the am when you start your day and repeat through out the day to keep stress levels in check.

I have a high pressure career and my stress levels run very high so I use these techniques frequently as I don't want to take more drugs if I don't have to.

I'm about 17% BF at 250 right now. I can definitely use more cardio and I am actually trying to lose 10 lbs of fat the next 3 months. Hopefully I'll look somewhere closer to what you look like in your pic - then just maintain. I agree that it's probably stress related as I just started this new job. Thanks for the tips!

I never took my BP with my last GF but I wouldn't be surprised if it was super high - she would drive me nuts.

You're not suppose to take more than 1 reading at a time, you can switch arms but you need to wait about 15 min before taking another reading. If you do 3 right in a row they will usually get lower each time and are not accurate. I have high blood pressure and spoke to my doctor about my readings and he is the one that told me to wait before taking a 2nd reading or use the other arm.

Hmm... the Mayo Clinic and some studies I have read show you should wait about 1-3 minutes between readings to get the most accurate results. 15 minutes seems pretty long to wait. I mean, what's the logic behind waiting so long?
