TRT and Hypertension

I have experienced a significant increase in blood pressure since starting TRT. I have cycled on and off and observed up to a 10 point change in blood pressure. Is this just coincidence or should I have real concern? My baseline blood pressure has risen as I have aged into the 130's/70's with TRT is has been into the 140's/80's. I'm a nonsmoker who regularly exercises (70+ METS/week) and has otherwise great cardio/lipid stats. Oh and the TRT has done wonders for muscle mass, energy and sleep. Prior to implementing total testosterone was in the 230's.

Framework for strength training

Can Peter elaborate on his framework for strength training?

How often does he vary the workouts? How is he keeping track of his workouts? Is he doing a total body split? Supersets? There’s so much here to unpack and it would be helpful for me to learn about how he structures and develops his strength training days.
