I have noticed after a set of squats I feel a little light-headed. Nothing like I was going to take a header but I do have to catch my breath and stand still for about 30 seconds. I figured it was because I'm doing a Giant set for upper legs and it is taxing.
Yesterday I tried something; I did not take my BP med the night before and I noticed a considerable difference climbing out of the squat rack. Studies out there have BP reading during heavy squats in the 400/200 zone and I have seen studies even a bit higher.
One day does not make a a conclusion but I'm going to continue with taking off from the BP the night before squats. For the record, my resting BP is fine: 116/68 so I'm in no danger of popping a gasket.
Any thoughts men?
