Max and recovery heart rate
Posted on 11/16/22 at 4:26 pm

We've done resting heart rate a few times, but AFAIK we haven't posted max and recovery heart rates. Mine is using around 150-155 when doing a fairly strenuous rowing session. Push harder it gets up near 170. If I go all out I may hit 180. Within a minute after stopping it's usually dropped around 30 BPM and after two minutes it's down about 48 BPM.

During a heavy squat or deadlift session, I'll hit 175-180. It will drop to 120ish within two or three minutes. Takes way too long to get back to my normal resting rate though. Not sure how to improve recovery ability.

I'm big on HR zones. My family on my dad's side has a long history of heart disease.
Anyway, a rough calculation of max HR is 220 - age. Again, it's fairly inaccurate. There are a couple of ways to test it either through a HR monitor and hill sprints or going to a fitness testing place.
I've hit 195 several times on hill sprints. I hit 197 once in the heat of the summer on a monster hill. I asked my cardiologist about it. He said that your max HR was your max HR. In other words, it not a line you cross and die. I was worried about that.
My HR drops rather quickly from my max. If I start walking, I can have it back below 120 in a couple of mins.

Just finished a session on the bike erg.
500m/1000m/1500m with :90 rest between each. 3 sets. Max was 188 on the last 1500. Dropped to 140s in the :90 between pieces. Average thru the ~30:00 session was 166

What are yall using to measure your heart rates?

Jabra Elite Sport earbuds. With the app it can track workout history, etc.

Polar HR strap.

I usually stay between 158-167 on long runs. My max if I’m pushing it hard usually hits about 182. I try not to go any higher, I’m 42 and don’t wanna have a stroke or heart attack

I’m 37 and my max heart rate is around 195
I usually don’t go past 185 I’ve it’s a brutal max effort run though
My max heart rate has gone up with zone 2/3 running

Bump.
Any of y’all track your max heart rate during heavy lifts? I’m curious if I should be worried about hitting 190s during a max effort set of squats, DLs, or whatever. Recovery rate seems pretty good between sets.
Resting rate in 50s usually and have normal ecg from doctor several times.

I just use an Apple Watch, deadlifts and squats put my heart rate to around 150. Other lifts, 135ish. It comes down to 90-100 in a minute or two

You holding your breath during lifts? Are you talking about close to max effort lifts? That seems to make a big difference.
Ehh, with Apple Watch you can’t really see what the precise peak is. It’s not as accurate as a strap. I used to think 150s/160s is all I would hit too.

Back in my yute, they stuck us on a treadmill, shoved a tube down our throat, pinched off our nose and, ekg things on us and then tapped a vein to draw blood every 2 or 3 minutes. We ran and the treadmill inclined something like 3% every 90 seconds and they told us to run until we dropped. The treadmill was at about a 45 degree angle when I dropped....a couple guys literally dropped and hit the floor pretty hard. My max HR was 197, a couple of guys were over 200. The max HR didn't correspond to who were the top runners on the team. That test was so damn miserable when they wanted to do it again the next year I think all of us said nope.

Not max effort, probably 8 RPE.

Do you do any cardio at all? You don’t need to do a ton, but sprinkling 15 minutes of hard cardio a few times a week can help. I find it helps greatly.

8 to 9 rpe squats or deads pushes me to 150 , I will hit 170s on a hard run tho.
All out rows I can't get past 160s. I'm sure it's a combination of how efficient you are at an exercise from a cardiovascular and muscoskeletal standpoint. Less efficient = more cardiac demand

I’m hitting 180s/190s for a split second during a max effort lift. If I look immediately after the lift, it will be in the 150s. Drops fast.

I'm probably not capturing that moment accurately
