If I'm mad at anything, it's that ignorance is still so rampant in our current era, when there's no excuse
Mine currently is right around 60-70
when I've cut lower than this before and was running at least 2x/week it's been down to high 40s/low 50s.. which isn't even exemplary.

oh im not denying that some ppl might have it, but when i see that many threads every months with the average hnfer not being able to dl/squat for shit etc, i find it hard to believe that their hr is that low.


edit: especially with ppl using a smatphone application to find it out

What does dl/squat weight have to do with low hr? Lol. That has no bearing on CV fitness
As I said, if you do any sort of cardio and have at least a low-medium bf%, there's no reason you shouldn't have a pretty low HR. As I said, there's a plethora of people that do no type of exercise and fit within the 60-80 range with ease. That's all I'm saying.

Also, it's so easy to check hr.. just look at a clock and feel your pulse. I'll concede how much it could vary though, as cloud/nmu said

hence why i said etc..
in the end, i was simply sceptical about some of the answer given in here.

do you have first-hand information on earlier eras?



there are reasons for having a high HR even when the cardio-low bf% criteria are met. Variable sensitivity to beta-agonists and the likes is an example of one.

Try not to worry about everyone else's claims. I assume most of them are true as a lot of people in here work pretty hard on their bodies. I get pooped on for my "stats" but it doesn't bother me. I am more focused on working hard to get results than I am about what anyone else thinks about me. I am saying this because I would guess that if you worry about what other people say about themselves, then you also worry a lot about what people think of you. If that's the case, one of the best bits of advice I offer to anyone is that as soon as you begin to focus on what YOU want and expect from yourself and stop worrying about what everyone else thinks, you open up a whole new world of possibilities for your own success. A ton of people ask me for advice or information and while knowledge is a powerful tool for shaping well-being, it's much more important to manage your emotional life. Every time I answer people asking me about my diet or my exercise routine or what I believe, I try to defer it back to them like a reflection. It interrupts how they think and feel and puts the focus on how they perceive themselves, because that's what matters most. "Happiness depends upon ourselves" ~ Aristotle

^ That's not a tirade. It's offered because you were skeptical but you didn't seem overly antagonistic about it. Hence I encourage you to shift your focus a little and see if it helps your self-perception or at least your perception of others

My resting is around 40-45
