Ohh.. I'd say pretty minimal..

Why? The body is quite capable of handling EXTREME blood pressure increases for short periods of time... YOu'd be suprised how High Your blood pressure gets while working out on maximal loads.. or while doing regular things around your house that make you strain...

Also... it hasn't happened to any of these guys.. and the way they train and compete.. if it were likely to happen.. it would happen pretty regularly..
