I need to buy one I trust lol. Mine gives it’s initial two readings as very high, but then if I keep measuring it drops on attempt 3, and stays there for all the measurements after that. I was 130/72 last night. Not great, but not terrible. The first two readings were like 155/70. At least I know what the machine does now, so I don’t freak out on the first two measurements.
Do you have the one that goes around your upper arm or a wrist?
My mom has the thing that goes on a wrist and that one can show from almost dead to almost a heart attack depending on how you put it on - it always shows something else when you rotate it a bit…
my new one seems to just change 1-2 points of each reading if i put it on a bit differently… mine goes around the upper arm.
It is upper arm. I am not sure what goes with it. Just seems to read really high for 2 readings, then consistent readings after that.
Try it on your wife. Does it do the same thing on her?
As far as i know you are not supposed to take many readings back to back as it compresses your arteries and shows lower BP because of that. You should take 5min breaks and take it completely off or something like that. At least it says so in the manual i had with mine.
I did that experiment, and it does the same to her. I sure hope I don’t have 155/70 BP!
Well if it showed too high on her also, then you are fine. She wouldnt have high bp…

Is your bp ever below 120/80 on steroids?
Yes i know. But my question stands.
whats your size?
I didnt know you were so jacked, lol…
Does the fact that us(people like me and you) are larger means we will have higher normal BP? I mean, yea we would have it higher but does it mean we can get away with it? Like having 130 if you are small or 130 if you are big? Is there a difference?
That might be a problem (I am at 16"), which I think is borderline for the cuff.
Me, I am at 15-20% stomach, and 8ish% everywhere else. I think I am around 14% overall.
One thing on my mind for ugly genetics (regarding not favorable fat distribution) and bodybuilding, is liposuction. If I get lean enough for abs, the arms get smaller. If I just had half the fat on my stomach, I could carry fat elsewhere and still have abs with bigger everything else (and I don’t think it would look weird, the stomach level of fat would match the other areas). Maybe a bit vein, but hey were are in the pharma section lol. Maybe this is stupid, but I think I could achieve a better physique with less drugs, and maybe be overall healthier. Probably won’t do it. Just something that crossed my mind, and my mind goes on wild tangents.
I have tought the exact same thing, and i have the exact same problems, lol

Glad I am not the only one. Felt really weird having that thought. Just doesn’t seem manly to have liposuction.
I guess just carrying so much on one spot really can ruin a physique. Getting lean enough to control that spot takes away from the other areas that don’t need to be that lean. Maybe using lipo to remove that extra fat area would help a ton. I think it cost about 3-5K here in the US to do. Sounds like a lot, but AAS are not cheap either, and probably come with a lot more downsides long term.
Have you seen virtuianphysique on youtube? That dude has amazing fat storage genetics. I am pretty sure I am a lot leaner than he is, but he just stores it so much better. When my arms are at his BF%, my stomach is like 4" bigger.
You are a smart guy. Does that coolsculpting thing work? I have seen it and just assumed it is a scam. Lipo makes sense to me, that it would work. Coolsculpt does not make sense to me.
thats ONE of the reasons i started doing HGH… maybe i few years this will change for me, lol

Do you see any reason someone couldn’t DIY an apparatus to do this at home? I mean they are using really cold pads on body parts for like an hour. Seems like if you could achieve the coldness, you could do it at home, for not thousands of dollars.
Whooo, my BP this morning showed 116/67 and 58 beats of heart in a minute.
Best readings so far…
This combined with good cholesterol readings and everything else makes me happy.

I wanted to buy one 8-9 years ago but couldn’t afford it then. I gotta check now if they are cheaper or at least reasonably priced. They are great to check for CNS recovery, apparently. Would be one of the greatest tools in training ever if it works as well as it is postulated.
Indeed, that’s way better than last time I looked it up. Gonna get me one soon
Did some extra bloods on PSA - which was very good for me.
And also i was suggested to check Creatin Kinase and i have that one 1100 while the norm is 170… I read up that its kind of not a big whoop for athletes, but i cant really understand what it is, what are the risks of me having it so high and what to do.
Can someone please explain this one to me? @lordgains @anon18050987
p.s - i also moved from ED test to EOD test and my test now shows 1400… it was 2600 at same dosage ED… so imma do ED again
