400/200... Damn!!!!!

[Eze]

I was in exercise physiology class and my professor said that some weight lifter have had thier Blood Pressure measured at 400/200 while lifting.

Forced expiration against a closed glotis, put exptreme pressure on the heart. Just a good reminder to make sure to breathe during your sets.

I find myself doing this as well, but I was astonished when I heard 400/200mmHg. Think about the stress that is putting on your heart.

Yeah it's not healthy. You might have blood shooting out of your face too. But that's cool.

I have been told it is extrememly dangerous to try and breathe while doing one rep maxs. As for the bp, i have heard the same thing, but what the fuck, everything seems to be bad for us. I fucking live in Jersey, i am probably going to die of cancer.
