Resting Heart Rate isn't something I've been overly concerned with in regards to my training.

Most of us here exercise for different goals some as a recreational pleasure, others as part of a healthy life style. Some of us run, cycle, row, swim, lift etc.

Around the end of summer I remember my RHR reading bang on 60BPM, which is bang on for a healthy human being.

After introducing more and more cardio vascular work to my lifting routine to help strip body fat, primarily HIIT & circuits making good use of the Anerobic energy system I wondered how it had been effected. I popped my HRM on and lay down for a few minutes. I glanced over to see my RHR at 43BPM:eek: It then occured to me just how quickly I'm able to recover from intense exercise wether it be intense CV or lifting.

If you'd like state your: Age, Gender, Type of training & RHR.

It's not a competition but I'm curious to see if many other 'lifters' HR's are similar and likewise if there are similarities between HR's of those who train with the same methods.

20, Male, Resistance/Weight Training, 43BPM.
 
Last time I checked was around a year ago when I was more into running/weightloss than bodybuilding/fitness so I'll be sure to give an updated value soon.

17, Running/weightloss, ~54 (I think...) bpm
edit actually just remembered it was 46

Would be interesting to see if its lower now, as I do a lot less cardio/distance running so I'm guessing its unlikely :p.

~60-65 roughly just feeling it myself for 10 seconds.

21, Male, super henching, 0 cardio

Should be lower tbh but im feeling a bit strung out, not long got over a bout of illnesses.
 
28yr old.
Football 3-4 times a week + Weight 3-4.

42bpm last time I had medical, but I do have a genetic heart issue that could be the reason.
 
34, Male.
Cycle at least 170 miles a week, mixture of road bike and fixed gear. Swim 1km twice a week and run 10k on a weekend.
Last time I checked it was around 50bpm.
 
Nothing but weights for the past 6 months (just had my first HIIT session today to commence conditioning :) )

23, male. 52BPM :)

It'll be interesting to check this after each section of my training is complete :)

That is silly, I am 16st at 5"11, which is like 31 on the BMI, how you are obese I don't know.

I'd say you'd be around the correct weight, perhaps a tad on the slim side, deffinatley not fat!
 
Male, 25, Plyometrics/Function/Explosives, RHR = 50bpm.

Resistance is a big one for increasing stroke volume, reducing blood pressure and RHR. AWESOME rhr benny! :D I'm not a big believer in SSC, I don't think it's very natural.

Ant :cool:
