Max Heart Rate - Bengalbug - 08-06-2018
So, the typical formula for max heart rate is 220 - age.
I am 32 years old, so it should be 188(ish). I usually play basketball once a week and routinely get my heart rate to 192-193. Tonight I played 5-5 and was shocked to see I got my heart rate up to 203. I know the apple watches are not full proof, but when I check against when I am working out on a cardio machine, it is usually pretty dang close.
Now I used to run marathons... 10 years ago.. and I do bike/lift almost daily 6-7 days a week. And tonight I could have kept playing, I didn’t feel the shakes or getting weak.
So what really is a persons max heart rate? It is going to differ for everyone, but should I try to not let 200+ happen again?
For what it’s worth, my resting heart rate is low 40’s and even high 30’s from time to time

In your 30s and you excersize pretty much every day? Unless you smoke or something, I think you're probably okay. Male sure you're replenishing elctrolytes of course.

That doesn't seem all that much off from your 193.

My max is 60. Anything over that, time for a beer and a smoke because I'm working waaaaaay too hard.

There isn't a good answer for that. If you're concerned, you should probably have a doctor do a stress test to find out your range. Follow it up in a year or so to see if it's changed. If it has, talk to your doctor. If it hasn't, that's probably just where your heart rate is.

A good stress test is to be driving on a Friday night while carrying illegal substances in your car and the cops are following close behind...
If you're hands aren't shaking and you don't crash into the nearest telephone pole you pass.

I always hate when I give someone a ride home and they leave an open container in my car. I'm afraid I'll get pulled over. So, naturally, I chug it all and hope my liver holds out.
