But let's not talk about bad things anymore.
I will describe today's training.

I didn't take my blood pressure during exercise, but it wasn't high after exercise. I haven't had any dizziness, nausea or anything like that. Whether I do, for example, a Bench Press 3x10x70-75% or 8x3x82-85%, I have no problem. I get my heart rate up more when I do more reps on the Squat or Deadlift. I have no problem with 5 reps, even with shorter rests. I don't tolerate heavy, high intensity workouts like CrossFit well.
When a person has high blood pressure, their heart works harder. And when this high blood pressure is daily and continues for years, at some point it can lead to left ventricular hypertrophy. It's similar to exercise—when you exercise, your muscles hypertrophy.
This disease of mine was diagnosed with an electrocardiogram and ultrasound. In fact, almost all hypertensives who have suffered from high blood pressure for many years have similar changes in the chamber of the heart, but they simply do not know it. But here we are not talking about accidental high blood pressure during exercise, but daily. I've read the literature and it doesn't stop me from exercising as weight lifting has almost no effect on cardiac changes that are harmful.
It seems to me that you do not read my previous posts thoroughly. I have already said that in the beginning when I was younger I had a perfectly healthy heart and the blood pressure rose on the basis of nervous tension. There is no way that if I was healthy then I could have had a birth defect. You either have it at birth or you don't.
Maybe I'm not expressing myself correctly, since I don't speak English well, but I don't mean strict diets in terms of the foods I consume. I mean I have to be strict and not eat junk or drink alcohol, which I break all the time.
Summarized from everything I wrote is that if I have the desire I have no excuses to start the program. I just might try not to overeat as I have enough fat to help with energy and recovery.

If you say that Doug Hepburn's methods look bad, I can say nothing more :-)
I take your advice 100%. I do what I like at the moment and have fun.
