98 over 64


semi resting heart rate of 63

walked up sat down and took it

nothing strenuis so probably not a big difference from resting

The last time I had mine checked (May of this year), I was 104 over 68 with a resting heart rate of 60. I've been lifting for 29 years. Doesn't seem to be a problem, now does it?

well... to me it seems that those who lift/run/care about their bodies seem to have some of the most amazing bp numbers...

i just got into "body building"/health about a year ago

for the most part i do calesthenics, but believe it or not ive cut my body fat and even started building muscle...

im not huge... but a year ago i wieghed 175 and had about 25%bf
no i weigh 165 and im at about 6%

i flex in front of a mirror every day... i love flexing my diaphram and watching my veins swell... i try not to take it too far... but honestly..
i have about the best BP right now, of anyone i think ive ever seen

It's not the lower the better, is it? There's an 'optimal zone' I suppose.

Lifting raises your blood pressure during the activity, particularly if using the Valsalva maneuver. Anyone who suggest weight training chronically elevates your blood pressure is just spewing hearsay.
