Starting Strength Newbie & Test

[Mark Rippetoe]

Does anyone know, if cardio is necessary whilst on TRT? Or would the benefits from strength training alone be enough to combat the issue of blood pressure possibly raising while on test?

Has your BP gone up on TRT?

Has your BP gone up on TRT?

No it’s stayed about the same so far but only a few weeks into it. I am trying to avoid cardio certainly for the time being anyway, my heart rate is going not far off max doing the starting strength so I guess that’s enough conditioning anyway. Maybe add a couple walks a week.

Has your BP gone up on TRT?

He's only been on a week. I think he's just panicking.
