Ok, so I've never had high blood pressure issues before, but about 3 weeks ago I was feeling funny and decided to check my blood pressure, it was high, and I've been checking it since, at times it's high other times it's normal.

 

I think I've figured out that caffeine is playing some roll, but it hasn't ever been a issue before. And before you say you need to eat right and exercise, I've been doing just that since april and have already lost 20 pounds so far by dropping from 215 to 195, I'm 6'1" btw for size ref. and have continued to eat right and exersize, why would it pop up all of a sudden.

 

Now I have been working swing since august last year and I've been drinking more caffeine then ever but I cant believe its just a caffeine issue.

Gotta give me more details. The carb/protein ratio is not enough man.

been eating a lot of salads and sometimes just straight protein, like boiled eggs and chicken.

For example today I had a salad for breakfast/lunch @11ish and a veggie thin crust pizza for dinner at 8ish. I don't normally eat breakfast but when I do it's usually a banana and a granola bar. Used to be with a cup of coffee but with how I've been reacting to caffeine lately probably no more coffee. But don't know if there is something else other then caffien causing this.

And saying you dont eat breakfast is good to know. You should as that can help stabilize blood sugar and blood pressure. Sometimes WHEN we ear is just as important as what.

Im trying to drill down on if you are getting good fats in your diet. Those can help LDLs as well as lipids.

How high are we talking? And how big of a gap between systolic and diastolic?

i was 140/100 earlier today about an hour after drinking coffee, at 730pm I was 135/85 last check at 9pm I was 126/77 I can still feel caffeine in my system now and think I'm still a little high.

Last Sunday I rode my bike 30 miles rested for an hour after getting back and my BP was 119/70 didn't drink coffee that day

      ESPN’s recent grades has Charlotte with a B. I haven’t paid attention to any others really.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
