Heart rate

Does anyone else have an issue with your heart being too well trained? I can be at 172bpm running and it drops to 110 within 10-30secs when I stop. Even after a break of a month it’s still able to handle 6 min miles and slows quick. My resting hr is 45bpm when sitting or chilling out. It just doesn’t seem like I’m getting the same impact from my workouts even with increased load.

My average HR = 60

My heart attack HR = 120

Have you tried HIITwith your cardio? It helped me get past a similar rut a few years ago

Yah I do alot of HIIT training. I also wear a 100lbs weight vest too when I run. I may up it to the full 150lbs.

If you feel like your not getting a good workout after adding more weight or extending the time, it may be diet related, I learned this the hard way by shorting myself the calories & protein, I was never able to get a good workout that way because my body didn't have the energy nor nutrients to properly heal or make gains that satisfy me even though I never got tired.


Being able to recover your cardiovascular system quicker is a positive & it takes months of no working out before it even begins a super slow journey of going back to normal, sometimes my RBPM floats at 35-40 just chilling on a chair, I always go up in weight (I wear a vest too,150lb is gnarly lol) until it gets to the point I need to work hard for it and it always gives me results.

Superpowers............yikes !

Being fit isn't a bad thing. In my younger years I could hit a max of 211 in a all out sprint for the line. 10 minutes later my HR would be back down to the low 100s. Actual resting HR was high 40s. Today not being fit it's in the mid 60s. Only downside to a low HR is getting up quickly and the headrush that follows. This can be aggravated by dehydration.

I don’t seem to have the light headed issues. Hell I workout fasted. Fast for 18+ hrs each day I give blood and get up and roll no issues. I think the light headed part is genetic. I’m not giving up fitness for sure at 38 I’m rocking it out hard and heavy. Granted I take a lot of sarms not the healthiest things but I like the muscle gain and vascular look I get all day. The pumps are great.
