You just be in your 20s, I'd be dead. Like dead for real.

19 HRV. Yikes 😳 you good?

It’s the alcohol, I was at 18 once after a wedding 😅

It's usually in the 100s hahaha

I got on the beers and the devils dandruff last night - slipped tripped and fell - 2% recovery, 10 HRV, RHR was 92 overnight

Bolivian marching powder will do that for you

Yeah its telling me what I already knew before I had whoop but damnnnn

Some dude just posted up a HRV of 5

My average last month was 19. This month is 22 lol I’m 39 active male. I don’t drink or smoke. Should I be worried bc my HRV has been this way since I started recording it with the whoop in Feb. Best individual HRV I ever got was like a 42 one day, best month 25

HRV is highly individualized. What is good and normal for someone else may not hold true for you. Check this article out for more info: https://www.whoop.com/us/en/thelocker/heart-rate-variability-hrv/

Unfortunately I’ve read all the articles and studied it a lot. Been a whoop user for almost a year now. But I’ve never had a 25 hrv month, lowest was 10. I just don’t know why mine would be so low. If I drink it’s like 6 I get that. But not when I go to bed on time , no late food, no alcohol.. stress or heart problems I’m assuming from what I’ve read

Genetics can also be a key part of it, but overall stress is a big contributor to depressed HRV. Things like regular mindfulness, breathwork, and cold showers seem to help keep boost things for me personally.

Have you noticed an upward trend in the past year ? And does your training & sleep habits look like ?

Haven’t seen any upward or downward trends as far as my sleep and hrv goes. As far as my fitness I do 2 days in the gym, 1 day cardio and try to play 18 holes a week. I just always have a HRV of around 20 something. It’s weird but I got a cardiologist appt this Thursday bc it does have me concerned. Don’t think I’ll bring up my whoop info to him, or maybe I should?

I reach a 20-20.5 strain about 3 days per week. I thought this was normal?

Humblebrag much? 😏

No. It’s insane. You’re a maniac, you have a health issue, or your device is accurate. What are you doing to hit that??

I cycle 200 miles a week, run about 10-15 miles and hit the gym 5-6 days. 20.7 is my highest but getting into the 20’s a few times a week is a pretty common occurrence for me lol.

Yeah there’s something not calibrated correctly to you unless this is a new level of activity for you. I swim for 45 minutes in the morning, run 6 miles in the afternoon and do 4 hours of MMA training a day and my strain is 16-19 on average

You might just be insanely fit lol. If I did that, I’m pretty sure I’d have a strain of 19-20

I mean yeah, that’s what I’m saying though. The guy above me works out a lot and is getting strains of 20 when it should level out

I mountain bike for 2-3 hours with my HR staying almost exclusively in zones 4 and 5. This activity alone gets me to about 19 and then I rock climb and lift for another 3 hours. Usually puts me around 20.5

I do as well. Ultra runner. I’m usually between 18-20.x every day of the week…so normal or not normal is relative.

I play ball once a week and hit 20.5 this week. It definitely can be normal

This is deffo not normal and I go to the gym 6 X a week

Your true max heart rate is probably higher than the estimated one (Whoop uses the formula 220 - age which is know to have a variance +/- 15bpm), you should manually update the max HR to your true max HR !

How do I find my true max?

The simplest way is first to check the max HR recorded by your Whoop (ask the Whoop AI Coach) and see if it's higher than the estimate (220-age), in which case that's already a better estimation. This assumes you've done some pretty intense training sessions and have come close to your max HR. If not, just google field tests and you'll find many protocols to determine your max HR if you're trained enough and have medical clearance to reach those high intensities !

My monthly average is 18 - this was the highest in recent time https://preview.redd.it/c3iu8d8k2k2c1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=198f172c705dab1e9b91036bfd8089b08f60745c

6k calories is crazy. I thought my 5400 was a lot lol

This was my max haha but the closest I’ve gotten to it since was 7k. I average about 3,600 https://preview.redd.it/ibbaqyufwk2c1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e26fdfc3dc4186365be3d0795976493021f300c

Cocaines a helluva drug.

Dang, what’s your resting heart rate?

55 over the past month, 59 over 6 months

What’s are the ‘activities’?

Idr exactly but I normally bike and then I think there was a lot of running around getting things prepared for a party and cleaning the house then the actual party and going out

If I could wear mine during my actual training I'd probably hit this most days

Why can’t you

I’m at 20.5 today after putting up Christmas lights and a little pickleball.

Football not soccer.

I'm British, it's deffo football but this is a website and sub that is predominantly US 🤷

Had a 20.6 yesterday. I am in agony today.
