What's your resting heart rate, /fit/? Last I checked mine

Lowest I've ever got it to was 43 bpm. RIght now It's sitting at around 48-50.

>>40579936
About 48, use to be around 42 when I was running 50 miles a week.

>>40579936
mine is 60

should I be worried

also how do I bring it down

>>40580568
I'm the same.... fuck, is that an indicator of general fitness?

78.
Not sure how I should get it down, I ride my bike 4 miles every day.

Mines 60-65 and I run marathons. Does this mean I can get even better or am I just fucked?

Was around a 100 back when I was drinking and smoking everydy. Alcoholism is a cunt.

Now its at 58-60 when I'm chilling in bed, 70 when I'm at work. I'm not even /fit/ yet, getting better, but still got 30kg of fat to lose

RHR is usually 60-100, but if you do a lot of cardio then it's okay for it to be that low. It's only dangerous if the situation calls for it, like they're bleeding out, or are like 70 years old.

>>40581603
Technically true but not nessecarily an issue.

I measured mine at 44 a few years ago on my gran's hr monitor. Enlarged heart? High stroke volume ? Hard to say but I have never noticed any issue

I measure my heart rate when i wake up before getting out of bed. This is usually a bit lower than what I'd get if I went lying down later in the day and definitely higher that what I get sitting down.

I haven't been able to get a clear picture of what the standard way of measuring resting heart rate is. Some sources say just to measure whenever but to take a few hours to recover from any exercise and be lying down. Some allow being seated. Some sources say to do it before getting out of bed in the morning. It seems even the researchers haven't given a single unambiguous definition to what a "resting heart rate" is. Some define it as the average of the heart rate during sleep.

Reminder that Whitney Thore has a resting heart rate of 120 BPM.

>>40579936
70 at my lowest but usually in the 90s because of weed

60-62 right now, though it's been around 52 when I was running more.

Just checked and it was 59. Used to be 75-80 when I smoked

Low to mid 40s on most days because I'm actually healthy unlike you fat, permanently bulking retards who have useless physiques.

Strength training also causes the beneficial heart hypertrophy that's responsible for the low heart rates of athletes. So it's not surprising actually.

Last I checked it was sitting at 60.

It's probably a lot lower now that I've started boxing.

Interesting mirin' story right here.

oh boy I knew my heartrate was high but I didn't know it's was this bad. (100 as measured by a shitty phone app)

>needing an app to tell you what HR you're at
Are americans really this stupid?

>>40585406
Why not if you have the technology? I'm sure most people who care about heart rate knows how to measure it without technology.

Yes, it is. People with perfect genetics who have been training since children don't have RHR in the 40-50 range. Just for reference 18-year-old Olympic athletes have heart rates in the range of 49-55, but a bunch /fit/izens beat them.

>>40581603
not an issue if youre fit and not old

>>40585446
I provided proof. I run and lift. Don't run much about 5k a week. 26 yo and recently quit tobacco.
My rhr bounces between 50 and 55 since I quit using tobacco.

>Doctor sees my blood pressure and asks if I'm an athlete
It felt good.

Went from 95 to around 65 over the last year.
BP went from 140/95 to 115/65.

Don't do cardio still smoke, so I guess there is room for improvement.
Dropped 25kg of lard, put on some muscle, started doing farm work and try to eat much less junk.

About 60. I jog 3k 3x a week, working my way up to 5k.

>>40586119
you can't tell shit from blood pressure as far as i know

50 seen it as low as 43 after just waking up
I run 30-50 K a week

>>40585446
I think I have a plausible explanation for that. Elite athletes are training constantly. Most likely any randomly chosen time won't be one where they are peak performance because at elite levels training cycles are months long. Meaning that any such time will be one where their body is still fatigued from training. It feels plausible to me that when they have yet to reach the point in their cycle where they are fully recovered their RHR will be higher than than what it would be when they are at peak performance.

I edited a graph from Practical Programming to illustrate my idea.

>>40584995
That's blood pressure, you tard.

At least its decent, so no stroke for you. Probably.

Varies from mid low 60s to the 70s depending on who knows what.

Like 80-90. With fairly low blood pressure.

>>40579936
Just measured mine now, it's at 52 bpm.

Is lower = better?

>>40587274
It's an indicator that you've developed athletic heart syndrome (a benign condition).

Lowest I've seen was 39. It didn't stay that low for long. After a good night of sleep low 50s is typical.

Currently, as I haven't eaten properly and am unwell it's at 72. Deep breathing brings it down.

>>40587274

Yes, 0 BPM is the best you can get.

Ah yes the resting heart rate thread, where anons try to one up each other by listing lower and lower numbers until we're all legally dead....

>>40587694

Nigga my heartrate is -3

Mid 50s, what exactly is a good resting heart-rate? I've heard in the 40s is too low and above 80 is bad.

>>40587771
60-100 is medically normal and no cause for concern if everything else is in order.

Unless you're a >muh billion beats faggot who believes that spurious correlation a higher resting heart rate doesn't mean you're ill.

>>40587814
So does that mean a sub 60 HR is "bad"?

>>40587917
Not if it's caused by exercise.

>>40587917
IF you don't work out. But if you do, a lot, then no it isn't bad.

>>40587917
There are both harmful and benign conditions that cause low heart rate. Being young and exercising a lot or just exercising a lot is considered enough evidence to rule out any harmful conditions as unlikely. Otherwise, other explanations for the low heart rate would be considered and they would be mostly things that pose a threat to health.
