My average heart rate whilst resting two months ago was 90-99. No surprise I got gassed and felt crappy. Always felt knackered. With proper diet and exercise, got it down to resting at between 65-70 during the day. Down to 56 during sleep. For all you high bpm guys and gals out there, you can make the change!!
That’s unreal progress in 2 months. I’m not gonna call cap and just say you must have been recording it wrong at the beginning. Great job though. That sleep heart rate is what I strive for. I’m hovering 60s right now when I’m not sick.
@@dumpster-kun7132 I got these recordings from two different devices. Fitbit and an Apple Watch. The heart was high at resting due to a few factors. Stress, poor diet & sedentary lifestyle. So, I couldn’t eliminate stress as that can be anything that triggers that. But what I could sort out was my diet, cutting out the quantity, upping the quality - getting adequate rest. Exercise was just me walking slightly faster than normal 4k a day. Plus going to the gym at work to lift weights and get on the eliptical. Because I’d been so bone idle and filled my body with crap, the bounce back and results were quite drastic. You’d have to bare in mind, I was very unfit aerobically but I was still strong, so think along the lines of a power lifter. I’m at the point now where I can comfortably run a 1k, which isn’t much by any means, but it’s something I could never do, say 3/4 years ago. I play football and regularly cover 4/5k a game but that’s sprints, jogs, walks - but you get the point, the improvement is there. Mate, 60 when sleeping isn’t bad. Not by a long shot.
Heart rates are also different depending on how naturally hyperactive you are, even if you're fit, if you're just a energetic person, you'll have a higher than average resting heart rate, if you have anxiety problems similar apply. Resting heart rate being high is more than a symptom of bad physical health, it's a symptom of mental issues, whether or not it's bad (like hyperactivity) or just misplaced (like anxiety), depends.
Resting heart rate is lower when you’re fit due to increased stroke volume as in your heart is able to pump out more blood with hv. Lance Armstrong was way lower than 42 I’ve literally been in the upper 30s when I used to do triathlons
The source he showed at 5:50 the video said 32 for lance armstrong, not 42. Either way very cardiovascularly fit and it's insane to see how low some elite endurance athletes get. I run a decent amount and my watch (accuracy varies) puts me at about 48. I wonder if certain drugs like EPO (illegal in pro competition) might decrease it and what drugs might increase it.
cocaine is getting cheap then lol. it’s anywhere from 50-100+ a gram and lemme tell you it doesn’t last longer than a day unless you give it all your willpower.
That was kind of interesting. I figure I should release a few stats on myself. 5' 10", 165 lbs. around 10% body fat, have not worked pull-ups in recent years but at age 47 I capped my sets at 30. Early 50's I was doing push-ups and crunches both 20 sets of 50 reps. Currently I bench press 120lbs 10 reps for 5 sets, Squat 20 reps for 5 sets with 60 lb bar, crunches-5 sets of 100 reps, work out about 90 minutes every day, A whole bunch of dumb bell exercises. My current age; 69.
Dang man you're an inspiration, being in my 30s you outperform me on some things, I fell off the horse big time the last few years but I'm trying to get back to where I was at like 28, if I can even do that with partially destroyed knees.
Idk about average, but I've always been able to do pushups much more easily than pullups. I could do 30+ easily, but not a single pull-up. It didn't make sense to me for years until I considered how my weight is distributed. Most guys carry their weight in their gut, while I carry mine mostly in my legs, so there's a ridiculous amount of weight I'm not lifting on a pushup that's there for a pull-up. With most people though, it's probably just how easy it is to practice a pushup rather than pullups.
I couldn't even do one pullup at 14, but I was able to do like 20 pushups straight so idk. Pushups don't use the back muscles at all, the pullup is based on your back muscles.
it all depends on body weight and upper body strength, which means if u are a dude who can do 30+ pushups and weighs 200 pounds he cant do 1 pull up unless he is built all muscles, which means u have to lose body weight to be able to lift your self up easily
What I have had experienced myself was that some of my upper body muscles were undeveloped so it was harder to do pull ups, with some months of work I've gone from 0 pull ups to 9 as my high score
@@pineappleapplepen6287 everyone starts somewhere, but what you do from here will define you. Start on your knees to get your form right. As you get better start doing them properly. Eventually you'll get pretty good if you work at it
People doing average one pullup but benching 180 seems legit :D This seems like stuff from different tests tbh. They had to do pullups but just asked the bench number because it is dangerous to bench pr...
There's NO way that the average man can bench 180lbs (81kg). In fact, I don't think most people who workout can lift that. (It's not an insane weight, but in order to lift it, you have to go the gym to AT LEAST 4-5 months, depending on your starting point and your overall size of course, and the average man doesn't workout let alone go to the gym). And also I'm 100% sure that the average man can't do a single pull up (again, doing a pull up is pretty easy if you workout, but most people don't workout at all).
I mean I've been working out off and on since I was in highschool with long break in-between. I'm not ripped but I'm not small either (I feel like I am, but other people seem not to think so). So I wouldn't be the average man. Genuine question is that really that hard for most men? If so I'm way to hard on myself.
I can tell you I actually took it personally when I was 13. I deadass used to randomly pause the episodes to do pushups sometimes, but I couldn't go above like 15/20
The fitness fall of for guys being around 24 makes perfect sense, that's right around when alot people are graduating from university and entering the work force. These guys are going from having a very open schedules, walking around campus with easy access to gyms and University sports clubs to waking up at the ass crack of dawn to sitting in an office all day. Combine the shift from active to inactive with poor time management and low motivation and you've got a recipe for fat gain and muscle lose.
Also...men having kids also effects their physical fitness as well. We also lose a lot of sleep and free time. I know that I'm now 33 and am just now able to start exercising regularly again because your life goes from revolving around yourself to your life revolving around your kids and their schedules.
*average man is in his best shape at 23* Me, turning 24 in a month and just now getting into a solid workout routine: oops. Edit: I'm now almost 25. Down 20 pounds from where I was when this was posted, MUCH stronger than I've ever been, and getting ready to have my first boxing match sometime soon. Im now considered the strongest man among my peers, and getting stronger all the time. 24 was a good year for me, we'll see what 25 has in store.
Last time I saw my abs I was 24. Last time I saw all 8 was around 22. You're doing it right. As for why, the cliff is responsibilities. It's not the lack of time, but it's the increase in other responsibilities. Now, at just shy of 46, I want to see my abs again before I die
The 12:17 mile cracked me up 😂 I have a friend ive been introducing to fitness and lifting. He is borderline obese, has very bad asthma and he still ran a 10:30 mile running for the first time in years recently.
@@TheAsheybabe89 I find your comment extremely funny, seriously it's hilarious. Because you're the type of people thst the comment hints at 😂😂😂😂 Unknowingly you exemplified the whole point being made. Amazing.
When you are more fit than the average man yet still look like the average man, then my friend you have become the perfect weapon. Able to blend into crowds "camouflaged" , yet deadly and unassuming the gut causes your enemy to lower its guard. The perfect dad bod'ed weapon.
I feel like this should be an anime like one punch man. A guy who becomes incredibly strong and can destroy anyone else, yet cannot lose the gut so nobody ever assumes he is the one who saves the day. Dad Bod Man.
Awesome video. This made me feel mostly good about myself, since some of those things Im already above average at than the average man I guess. Like the mile (really been bummed with my 8:30 miles) and pull ups (4)(not great but 4x better i guess). But I still wouldn't classify myself as fit but trying again. It is an important thing for my mental health and I've neglected working out for the better part of 6 months or more.
If you're watching a strength sport based channel there's a good chance you have at least a little body dysmorphia. I'm in my 50s and benching nearly double the alleged average makes me feel inadequate. Hopefully I'm not that far off from where I'll be content with my physical condition.
A year ago i couldn't even do one and just yesterday i did 8. all it requires is some practice and hard work. I am currently working to do a muscle up and that is hard when i am 200 pounds.
You gotta also always remember that there's bigger fish. People look at me in awe when I pull close to a 3x bodyweight deadlift in a commercial gym, but I'm a nobody if I step in to a powerlifting gym. Don't let your ego get to you and keep training hard.
I was married young and we had several children. Life was so challenging that I had little time and resources to exercise. Once our children got older and I was able to make myself a home gym I was able to get back into shape. Making fitness a priority is key.
I commend you brother. I got married at 24. Im going on 31 now. We have to young kids and it definitely it a challenge. I’m trying to get back into shape. I found it’s much easier when you have a babysitter but we don’t trust anyone to watch our kids. Lol.
@@ProjectAsylum54 5 am club man. Do it. I have kids too and for a while found it hard to exercise but then started getting up at 5am, hell even at first 6am and finally could get some exercising done with nobody interrupting me. Find some time before your kids wake up, even just 30 min a day makes a difference.
Early 30s. Our kids work out with us. Home gym, daughter with my partner and son with myself. We all have mountains bikes aswell. To many people take "me time" and just lay/ sit around instead of actually working on themselves.
I don’t care, comparing yourself with someone either leads to making limitations on your way or making you feel worse about yourself just because you are less successful than majority. It doesn’t matter, just try to do your best in becoming the best version of yourself
Not to shit on your parade. But with the way society is today...being above average simply means not being a slob. It doesn’t take much work. I’d like to see averages for people who have consistently trained...like the average 2-3 years. The average 3-5 years and so on.... I don’t wanna compare myself to the people who aren’t doing anything I’m doing lmao...I wanna compare myself to other people who are playing the game. This is like an archer comparing themselves to people who have never touched a bow before and have no intention of doing it. The average man isn’t playing this game.
@@soraryu3257 The average man adds 1-2 inches to his claimed height and his ding-a-ling. And he assumes his body fat is one-third lower than it really is. He will get really mad when you correct him too! In other words, the avg man is conceited and highly delusional.
NGL I'm 5'11 but I say 6. No need to lie about the dong tho. Literally the one genetic lottery that I won. Naturally fat, pretty ugly, bad skin stretch marks, acne. Over 8 inch unit tho
"The average guy spends over 800$ in supplements" Yeah ok...most of the guys literally just don't buy supplements because they don't work out, the ones that do are way below this much.
Or maybe the average guy spends a lot of money on supplements because they think the supplements will make them fit without having to actually train and diet properly for years
Idk any supplements lasting 3 months. Most have 30 servings so if you're using it once a day that's at least monthly. Any quality supplement is going to be decently priced

My father is 60 now and he has had an average heartbeat of 40 since young. he's very athletic and very proud of it, until one day he suddenly fainted when cooking. Then another day he couldn't get up after a snap, with cold sweat and muscle spasms. After examination, doctor told us his heart beats too slow and it's very dangerous. He had to take a surgery to install pacemaker which pumps his heart whenever it's lower than 70 beats....This makes realize having low heart beat is not always a good thing. Just because it beats slow doesn't mean it is efficient.
ya same thing happened to my uncle. his was 32 when he was in the hospital after his heart attack before they put the pacemaker in. i didnt even know this was possible until last month when i saw for myself.
i'm in the best shape of my life haha. Lockdown gave me the time and push I needed to actually start caring about the foods I eat, got me walking outside and riding my bike a lot more often, etc. I likely lost some muscle mass but feel more fit. I know this isn't true of everyone but would be interesting to see on the whole how it affected people health-wise.
My father in law says his 40s was when he felt the best physically. He's a rancher so he has always been in pretty good shape. Edit: definitely replied to the wrong comment.
Right! haven't ran under 7:30 in years. Best was just under 6 mins, currently running between 8-9 depending on weather conditions. Nearly wiped out this morning on a patch of ice.
@@lovroleutar8511 I'd say they were good form but not perfect. Same goes for the pull ups. Dead hang pull ups and strict perfect form pushups (nose to ground, full arm extension + scapular protraction) are almost entirely different exercises in terms of difficulty ramp. I can do 70 pushups in a minute and 20 pull ups matching the form in the video. Doing strict perfect form and those numbers get cut in half. For reference I'm 5'7" and 142 lbs so both those exercises are easier for me than VitruvianPhysique, he is much stronger than me overall.
@@JPearlLapis those are above average numbers if they are perfect form. Good job! Its better to do perfect form because its harder and eventually you will get stronger and do 20 pull ups or 60 pushups in a minute.
@@lovroleutar8511 well if you're entering a competition, rules are set, but we're all different me and a lot of guys don't fully lock out on pull ups ,we leave like a 2% gap. Some do that with push ups. Push ups also stretch your chest and biceps and you'll eventually have a wider range of motion to go to the floor anyway
I did 11:30 mile when I was 12. It’s hard to imagine an average guy having less strength and cardio than a 12 year old who played video games 6 hours a day.
I'm in the same group, I lost 20+ pounds in my late 40's and went from a 33-34 jean to a 31 during Covid. No excuses as he says, people that are obese are straight up lazy and don't want to better themselves, no excuses, period.
I'm gonna be 37 in a few months and I'm in the best shape of my life! I feel great and that's what is keeping me going is that feeling of positivity after and during a hard workout!
>75 is perfectly normal for what a person SHOULD be, but higher than that is just the average being that underwhelming in most cases. 80 isn't bad but it normally shows lack of physical activity. Concerning is 90+ and really bad is 100+
I was curious about that too, so I whipped out a calculator, and if I did the math right, a 12:17 mile means they were going an average of ~4.9 MPH. I'm pretty sure I've clocked my walking speed at 2-3 mph and my jogging speed as 6-7 MPH, and so with an average of 4.9, I figure they probably keep alternating between sprinting and then walking when they get tired. In contrast, his 6:31 mile means he was running an average 9.2 MPH.
12:17 is literally a brisk walk or jogging only the straight sections of a track. Lots of kids did this in Phys. Ed. and got that sort of time. I think the fastest mile I ran was 4:54 when I played soccer in high school. I can’t even imagine replicating that three years later, but anything under 7 I could do with no training.
I’d like to see where they got their stats from. I’m a 5’2 out of shape female and just did 1.5 miles in 12:20. I’d think the average male would do better than that
You know what’s funny, 11 year old me ran a 6:30 flat mile but 16 year old me who I think is in much better physical shape cannily run a mile in like 7 minutes.
I call BS on the bench press max for the average man, too. Can literally take half a year for a lot of guys to get that strong. Not only do many men lack the strength, but they lack the technique with the bench press, too.
i been benchin for a few years now starting from just the bar. only now hittin 185 for reps. 5'8" 180lbs. idk where them stats came from. nobody i know is benchin 185 straight out the box with 0 training.
@@TwskiTV tbf, pull ups are a body weight exercise, so if you're both fat and weak you have 2 factors working against you, while with bench press you only have 1. That being said, the bench press numbers still seem too high, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were self reported.
true that, I'm Asian man that workout about 10 years+ at age about 30 years old, not that I totally push the limitation, but I shy pushing around 64 kg of bench press, (and trust me, i'm my fitness I see range from only 25 kg - huge like 120 kg, but average probably 45-55 kg at most). But to be honest, I stop upping the number like 2-3 years ago, for Asian guy, I think it's fair enough, and I started like 25 kg in my 1st year of lifting. 64 kg = bout 141 lbs
Just in case anyone is feeling unjustly bad about their weight, there are plenty of super healthy 250lbs people in the world, they're just all pretty tall lol
@@bigbrainbois9603 Duh, but you know how much food it takes for someone of average height to gain healthy weight? Imagine someone who's closer to 7 feet. Many of them can't afford to eat enough to be healthy. Not a lot of 7 foot people are fat like Shaq
I can do pullups 16-17, run a mile for 6:45, height 176 cm, weight 76 kg, around 12% body fat, pushups (to the ground) 48, situps 32, bench press 97 kg, chest measure 107 cm, biceps 40 cm and waist 80 cm. Although I've lifting from the age of 20 (currently 33) I wasn't consistent and that's why I'm steel in that intermediate phase. I'm consistent in the last year so hoping to progress to an advance level of at least 120 kg bench press and 10 muscle ups.
You must be buff as hell. I see you in every fitness comment section. For example JaxBlade and Browney. Either way keep up your status as comment god and I'll def see you again 😂😂
The one pull up makes sense. I had my 3 nephews and my son come over. My 2 nephews that go to the gym regularly did a bunch. The 2 that don’t work out at all did 0 and 2.
"Age when the average guy is in the best shape of his life 23" When I was 23 I had low energy, slept a lot, I could barely keep up with my dad, now that I'm older I got more energy, and am stronger than I ever was.
@@evooff I started exercising seriously for over 2 years now but before that I had some energy, I don't know why, maybe I'm age reversing like Benjamin Button

Yeah, and now after losing a total of 50 pounds it feels like i achieved something at being able to barely see them in good lighting if flexed, but then I realize that there are many people who always had them on a regular basis...
@@IosifStalinsendsyoutoGulag That's why people say not to compare yourself. I'm terrible about comparing myself to others as well. I'm working on gaining muscle, and I'm very far from where I want to be, but seeing my improvements is a big motivator, along with imagining my future if I stick to weightlifting. One thing that could probably help, is learning to enjoy the workouts themselves, rather than only enjoying how you look after them. The moment you begin to enjoy the workout, is the moment that you no longer need motivation. You'll greatly appreciate your persistence in the future.
I want to point out that it's not necessarily the resting heart rate alone that determines cardiovascular fitness. Average resting heart rate is approximately 80 BPM. A much better measure is Pre-load vs. After-load, which follows Sterling's Law of Vascular dynamics. It looks at your blood pressure before, during and after stressful periods. Low systolic blood pressure, without risk of orthostatic hypotension, during stressful activity (exercise) is indicative that the after-load is much less than the pre-load. Which is fantastic for your heart health and a much better measure.
@@nickleback3695 Depends on what you mean as fit, if you're talking about a body builder, yeah 7-8 minutes is a pretty good time. However, for people who play basketball or soccer or semi aerobic sports, they should definitely be able to go under 6 minutes.
Actually this mans standards are high possibly higher than the marine Corps standards which is considered hard in the USA but now looking at it the USA’s fitness average is straight up pathetic
I used to be really fat. I was on the verge of developing serious health conditions. I remember not being able to tie my shoelaces and my sleep suffered as well. My life changed when I finally set my mind to the thinking that anything is possible if you decide so. I took a meal plan to start with. I created it online, on Dietarize, which was super helpful to me. I didn't have to worry about calories, macros, nutrients and all that stuff, I just focused on walking long distances and exercising after I got on a level where I could do some simple workouts. I hope my story will inspire you to do the same. To change your body you must first change your mind!
Last time i had an ECG done, my heartrate was somewhere between 38 and 40 BPM. They did the test five times because they initially thought the equipment was defect, and eventually called over a cardiologist (expert in heart and vessels), to check on me. Turns out my resting heart rate is just exceptionally low. Since then i have gained around 15kg (muscle and fat), and now my resting heart rate is around 45, according to my smartwatch atleast. The increase og body mass definitely shows. Im 25 btw.
When he got to the bpm I remembered something, my great uncle was in the USAF and was an FBI agent and was so fit that his bpm resting was 34 give or take 2 (don’t exactly remember) and was the fastest in the fbi until he was in his late 40’s and everyone else was in their twenties and early thirties. This guy is really inspiring and is still alive. (Also he crash landed a plane in Las Vegas country club when spying on the mafia if anyone wants to look it up)
@Joseph Gaber I knew he existed but didn't start talking to him until that last year or so. He has a lot of cool stories to tell, he only had to kill one dude if I remember bc of a bank robbery.
Lol I feel called out, I basically havnt been a gym rat since age 25, didnt know most ppl fell off around that age range. This video might have inspired me to get back into it
@@VitruvianPhysique I have a home gym that hasnt been used in ages, I went ahead and did a light workout...felt good. Im really happy i stumbled on this video!
I laughed so hard when you said “...so please pray for me...” haha, but seriously that moved pretty well, especially for not pushing that much in 18 months. Nice job
I started measuring my heart rate just for fun. I have pretty bad anxiety as well and the anxiety of seeing what the number was made my heart rate increase while I was measuring it. It was probably in the 60's but by time I was done it was thoroughly mid 70's. 😭
I’ve been active my whole life, and have done sports (including water polo which is the most intense cardio ever) and my resting heart rate has always been in the mid 80’s to 100. So weird
Personal trainer here, still work out at 40 years even though im not in the buisness any longer, just want to say how i love to see an honest natural bodybuilder talking, honestly it makes me feel better about myself about not being as big and jacked as the roid heads, i have zero respect for them but they pop up everywhere so you have to always remind yourself that they are using to not feel bad about your own fitness level. Your clips are a great reminder that you can look great naturally and you SHOULD stay natural. Props brother.
Yeah, he doesn’t say when the men’s fitness magazine was. Also, he doesn’t specify who the test subjects were. But I only made it to 3:13. I cannot stand the way you tubers yammer. Can only take so much
Doesnt matter, better now than ever. I started at 23-24 and was 110lb now at 29 Im 156lb ........if I had never started I would still be 110lb stick....I mean Im still a stick but you get my point
Dude, so long since I first started watching your videos. I'm a pretty small guy who only does calisthenics with some odd spells in the gym, but I still love your style and content. Keep it up!
Most pre-workouts/vitamins/ creatine or whatever usually are packaged around 28-40 servings. So you need to buy monthly. So times that number you had by 3 and you will get a closer figure to a yearly budget XD
I was at the oral surgeon and they took my heart rate. I had spent the previous 30 minutes listening to doom music by mick Gordon in order to wake myself up. The lady taking my heart rate thought I was a runner because my heart rate was so low, in the upper 40s. She actually called someone in to make sure she was measuring it right. She was.
When I was in college I was a cross country/track runner and my resting heart rate was generally 42-48 bpm. I don’t run as much now but it’s around 55-63 bpm. When my body fights off sickness or I do a very tough workout and my body needs to heal my heart rate goes into the 70’s or 80’s. If I’m really sick I’ve seen it go up in the 90’s while resting.
Great video topic. I feel like most people who lift regularly forgets that the average guy isnt one of the jacked dudes at their gym. this vid really puts things into perspective!
I can say I line up with most of these as an American male, aside from stuff like spending on supplements. I don't work out in the traditional sense. I just do physical labor jobs to stay in shape. I'm 21 yrs old, 165lbs, 5'9, 6:40 mile, 15in biceps, 32" waist, probably somewhere between 15-20% body fat, bench 165lbs, squat 300lbs, deadlift 225lbs (never attempted a higher weight after I had a back injury), 1 arm curl 50lbs (1rm 60lbs). I'd say that is above average, I used to play baseball as well, so my heart rate is in the 50s at rest.
It's.. decent, but I wouldn't call it really good. I've just recalculated my usual 8km run, and apparently I average about 7:40 per mile. That being said, that's like a 5 mile run, I could definitely do a single mile under 7 I think, and I'm 34 and still have like 5 kgs too much (that used to be 20). Someone as fit as igor can definitely do better if he trains a bit for it hehe.
It's way lower than average for sure lol. But from a competitive standpoint 6:30 is not great. Maxed out at 4:40 during high school but I struggle to do a sub 7:00 mile 12 years removed from my track days.
I'm a runner and I actually have a resting heart rate of between 48 - 58 (Measuring using Garmin watch, not totally accurate) or so. I can also run a mile in 6:40 min
I'm no average man by size or (maybe) income.... but $1200 a year in supplements seems pretty easy to do. $40 Whey protein every month. $40 pre-workout W/ creatine every 2 months. Athletic greens $70 every month. Omega 3s $20 every 3 months. = $1640/annual.
He's saying a 30 serving tub of protein and preworkout will last 2-3 months "even if you're going all out"... We listen to him for his muscles not his math abilities.
I remember in school we were counting our heart rates and mine was the lowest and I thought that was bad.. Happy to find out its normal for an athletic person
Hey Igor never commented on ur channel but you r my all-time fav fitness youtuber since 2017 ...a very few people whom I really admire.. Gonna start my workout from tomorrow after having a life ending injury in 2018 almost after a 3yrs gap U deserve way more subscribers.
Note: I'm 40 years old, and obese at around 350lbs/around 40% body fat - I'm constantly doing something about this and I fight my bad eating habits, but have failed a lot. I also lift regularly and walk a lot. My resting heart rate over the past two/three years has been between 45 to 50 BPM. Just a note.
Man its hard but worth it. Trust me you will feel so fucking good if you keep your diet as small n clean as needed. Its an investment of motivation. You will in just a couple weeks get the full benefits. I can do it with a crazy fked life - you can do it
You must be really tall and have a ton of muscle mass for those numbers to be true. If you lost 70 lbs, you would be 280 lbs with some resemblance of a six pack starting to show (20% bf). I'm watching the Greg Doucette channel a bit and it's helping me stay motivated as I try to make a step from 18 to hopefully 15% body fat. I think if you stay at it, and weigh in each morning, you could easily hit 25% body fat coming from 40%. But I have never been over 20%, so I can't speak much personally for anything beyond that except guess. I'm 38 now and I can say that getting fat is getting scarily easy these days.
I actually do use my squat rack to hang my BJJ gi right after practice until I have enough clothes for a load of laundry. I also use my squat rack to do squats.
I think resting heart rate is related to VO2 max, which is pretty much your cardiovascular capacity. When I was in high school I played varsity soccer, I had 2 hrs practice 5 days a week, including some really high intensity conditioning such as running hills and stuff like that. One time I went to check out my broken finger, and the nurse was impressed that I had a resting heart rate of 47. Ten years later, I just tested and I have a rest heart rate of 62 lol.
I'd say kinda, not entirely. Personally my resting heart rate is kinda good (~62) but my VO2 max is kinda shit-ish. I'd guess when training strength you train your heart too, but not much your VO2 max. It's probable though that I'm biased since I have asthma, and weirdly enough the condition doesn't really affect VO2 max much, but instead the respiratory flow (which really gets felt when I'm running)
As a rule maybe, but my RHR is in the mid 40s whereas my VO2 max has always been trash. I'm 37 btw and I rarely drink alcohol, I lift 5x a week and smoke weed maybe once or twice a week..
16:50 In those renderings at the beginning, with the Dutch, American, French and Japanese men, the average waist size for the American man was 99cm I think, so that's about 39 inches.
Wel ive spent like 100k in the last year on Sups so I’m sure I made the act go up. Anyone who actually consistently use the supplements is going to spend way more than $874 a year I mean think of it you could spend that much on protein powder alone
i think I'm pretty average and I go through about 5 lbs of protein every 4-6 weeks. So I'm close to $600/yr just on protein. And I buy the cheap ON whey.
Yeah I was going to say the same thing. Works out at around $70 bucks a month. I personally but a decent quality whey (3rd party tested), creatine, pre, multi vitamins and some omega 3. Pretty basic, but that could average out at $70 a month pretty easily.
@@user-zk4dv2nx8k I order protein bars/cookies/muesli on the regular for breakfast/inbetween meals pretty much everyday, How is it "careless" if it's used as nutrition/supplementation to what your body uses. Careless would be buying a pair of 1k jeans when a 50$ brand is just as good
I'm 37, 197 lbs, and 5'9" so technically obese. However while doing some medical training at work the other day using a pulse oximeter my resting HR was 53. I work out at least 4-5 times a week. My point is that the "obesity" percentage may be a little misleading.

My average heart rate whilst resting two months ago was 90-99.
No surprise I got gassed and felt crappy.
Always felt knackered.
With proper diet and exercise, got it down to resting at between 65-70 during the day.
Down to 56 during sleep.
For all you high bpm guys and gals out there, you can make the change!!
That’s unreal progress in 2 months. I’m not gonna call cap and just say you must have been recording it wrong at the beginning. Great job though. That sleep heart rate is what I strive for. I’m hovering 60s right now when I’m not sick.
@@dumpster-kun7132 I got these recordings from two different devices. Fitbit and an Apple Watch.
The heart was high at resting due to a few factors. Stress, poor diet & sedentary lifestyle. So, I couldn’t eliminate stress as that can be anything that triggers that.
But what I could sort out was my diet, cutting out the quantity, upping the quality - getting adequate rest.
Exercise was just me walking slightly faster than normal 4k a day. Plus going to the gym at work to lift weights and get on the eliptical.
Because I’d been so bone idle and filled my body with crap, the bounce back and results were quite drastic.
You’d have to bare in mind, I was very unfit aerobically but I was still strong, so think along the lines of a power lifter.
I’m at the point now where I can comfortably run a 1k, which isn’t much by any means, but it’s something I could never do, say 3/4 years ago.
I play football and regularly cover 4/5k a game but that’s sprints, jogs, walks - but you get the point, the improvement is there.
Mate, 60 when sleeping isn’t bad. Not by a long shot.
Heart rates are also different depending on how naturally hyperactive you are, even if you're fit, if you're just a energetic person, you'll have a higher than average resting heart rate, if you have anxiety problems similar apply.
Resting heart rate being high is more than a symptom of bad physical health, it's a symptom of mental issues, whether or not it's bad (like hyperactivity) or just misplaced (like anxiety), depends.
@@GastropodGaming2006 ah, ok. Thanks for the explanation
I have a shitty diet and don't move a lot nowadays, but still 60-65 during the day :P
One of my grandmas has a resting heart rate of 0 BPM. She must be so fit.
So does my grandpa and cousin not fair we both 17 but he’s much healthier at 0 and I’m very high for some readon

@@stripo9650 shredded to bones! lmao
@@VictorSilva-up6rc high blood pressure I assume.
Resting heart rate is lower when you’re fit due to increased stroke volume as in your heart is able to pump out more blood with hv. Lance Armstrong was way lower than 42 I’ve literally been in the upper 30s when I used to do triathlons
ANDA HECHALE PA BAJO
Thanks doc
Lower heart rate than last time
The source he showed at 5:50 the video said 32 for lance armstrong, not 42. Either way very cardiovascularly fit and it's insane to see how low some elite endurance athletes get. I run a decent amount and my watch (accuracy varies) puts me at about 48. I wonder if certain drugs like EPO (illegal in pro competition) might decrease it and what drugs might increase it.
Hey it's my doctor.
The cost of supplements makes sense if you use cocaine as pre workout.
It makes sense if you use preworkout as preworkout lol
On the plus side, both are expensive and capable of causing a heart attack

That was kind of interesting. I figure I should release a few stats on myself. 5' 10", 165 lbs. around 10% body fat, have not worked pull-ups in recent years but at age 47 I capped my sets at 30. Early 50's I was doing push-ups and crunches both 20 sets of 50 reps. Currently I bench press 120lbs 10 reps for 5 sets, Squat 20 reps for 5 sets with 60 lb bar, crunches-5 sets of 100 reps, work out about 90 minutes every day, A whole bunch of dumb bell exercises. My current age; 69.
Nice
Awesome stuff man I aspire to workout at the age of 69 like you!!
Dang man you're an inspiration, being in my 30s you outperform me on some things, I fell off the horse big time the last few years but I'm trying to get back to where I was at like 28, if I can even do that with partially destroyed knees.
Forgot to mention the most important measurement
kidding that sort of thing should always be private, good job keeping active
impressive especially the 10 % bodyfat it s so hard to achieve naturally even when doing tons of cardio
No way in hell can an average guy do only a single pull up while being able to do 33 pushups in a minute.
Idk about average, but I've always been able to do pushups much more easily than pullups. I could do 30+ easily, but not a single pull-up. It didn't make sense to me for years until I considered how my weight is distributed. Most guys carry their weight in their gut, while I carry mine mostly in my legs, so there's a ridiculous amount of weight I'm not lifting on a pushup that's there for a pull-up. With most people though, it's probably just how easy it is to practice a pushup rather than pullups.
I couldn't even do one pullup at 14, but I was able to do like 20 pushups straight so idk. Pushups don't use the back muscles at all, the pullup is based on your back muscles.
it all depends on body weight and upper body strength, which means if u are a dude who can do 30+ pushups and weighs 200 pounds he cant do 1 pull up unless he is built all muscles, which means u have to lose body weight to be able to lift your self up easily
What I have had experienced myself was that some of my upper body muscles were undeveloped so it was harder to do pull ups, with some months of work I've gone from 0 pull ups to 9 as my high score
@@thesrilankanguy3652 actually, push-ups do kinda use your back a bit, but a very teensy bit.
The “average” for push-ups and sit-ups is better then most people who are in the army with me lmao that’s how I know this shit cap

@@marianvajda785 lol
There's NO way that the average man can bench 180lbs (81kg). In fact, I don't think most people who workout can lift that. (It's not an insane weight, but in order to lift it, you have to go the gym to AT LEAST 4-5 months, depending on your starting point and your overall size of course, and the average man doesn't workout let alone go to the gym).
And also I'm 100% sure that the average man can't do a single pull up (again, doing a pull up is pretty easy if you workout, but most people don't workout at all).
I mean I've been working out off and on since I was in highschool with long break in-between. I'm not ripped but I'm not small either (I feel like I am, but other people seem not to think so). So I wouldn't be the average man. Genuine question is that really that hard for most men? If so I'm way to hard on myself.
Anime: "I'm the average 14 year old."
Men's Health: "And I took that personally."
this deserves more likes
As the average man at 14 years old I can agree
Wait what?
I can tell you I actually took it personally when I was 13. I deadass used to randomly pause the episodes to do pushups sometimes, but I couldn't go above like 15/20
In anime if you aren't 6'5 and 280 lbs of muscle with 4% body fat. You're out of shape.
The fitness fall of for guys being around 24 makes perfect sense, that's right around when alot people are graduating from university and entering the work force. These guys are going from having a very open schedules, walking around campus with easy access to gyms and University sports clubs to waking up at the ass crack of dawn to sitting in an office all day. Combine the shift from active to inactive with poor time management and low motivation and you've got a recipe for fat gain and muscle lose.

Awesome video.
This made me feel mostly good about myself, since some of those things Im already above average at than the average man I guess. Like the mile (really been bummed with my 8:30 miles) and pull ups (4)(not great but 4x better i guess). But I still wouldn't classify myself as fit but trying again. It is an important thing for my mental health and I've neglected working out for the better part of 6 months or more.
If you're watching a strength sport based channel there's a good chance you have at least a little body dysmorphia. I'm in my 50s and benching nearly double the alleged average makes me feel inadequate. Hopefully I'm not that far off from where I'll be content with my physical condition.
A year ago i couldn't even do one and just yesterday i did 8. all it requires is some practice and hard work. I am currently working to do a muscle up and that is hard when i am 200 pounds.
You gotta also always remember that there's bigger fish. People look at me in awe when I pull close to a 3x bodyweight deadlift in a commercial gym, but I'm a nobody if I step in to a powerlifting gym. Don't let your ego get to you and keep training hard.

12:17 for a mile?? Are they walking???
LOL that gave me a big confidence boost. Thanks for the video, could not stop laughing at the end.
I was curious about that too, so I whipped out a calculator, and if I did the math right, a 12:17 mile means they were going an average of ~4.9 MPH.
I'm pretty sure I've clocked my walking speed at 2-3 mph and my jogging speed as 6-7 MPH, and so with an average of 4.9, I figure they probably keep alternating between sprinting and then walking when they get tired.
In contrast, his 6:31 mile means he was running an average 9.2 MPH.
12:17 is literally a brisk walk or jogging only the straight sections of a track. Lots of kids did this in Phys. Ed. and got that sort of time.
I think the fastest mile I ran was 4:54 when I played soccer in high school. I can’t even imagine replicating that three years later, but anything under 7 I could do with no training.
I consider under 7:30 good I’m 17 not a runner tho

You know what’s funny, 11 year old me ran a 6:30 flat mile but 16 year old me who I think is in much better physical shape cannily run a mile in like 7 minutes.
I call BS on the bench press max for the average man, too. Can literally take half a year for a lot of guys to get that strong. Not only do many men lack the strength, but they lack the technique with the bench press, too.
Prob self reported on a survey. So people just lie.
yea, also how the fuck the guy will bench 180 while only doing one pull up?? and with a 33' arm? no sense whatsoever
i been benchin for a few years now starting from just the bar. only now hittin 185 for reps. 5'8" 180lbs. idk where them stats came from. nobody i know is benchin 185 straight out the box with 0 training.
@@TwskiTV tbf, pull ups are a body weight exercise, so if you're both fat and weak you have 2 factors working against you, while with bench press you only have 1. That being said, the bench press numbers still seem too high, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were self reported.
true that, I'm Asian man that workout about 10 years+ at age about 30 years old, not that I totally push the limitation, but I shy pushing around 64 kg of bench press,
(and trust me, i'm my fitness I see range from only 25 kg - huge like 120 kg, but average probably 45-55 kg at most). But to be honest, I stop upping the number like 2-3 years ago, for Asian guy, I think it's fair enough, and I started like 25 kg in my 1st year of lifting.
64 kg = bout 141 lbs
I'm actually really surprised that the average number of pull ups is 1
its averaged between the few like him that can do a bunch and the many that can't even do 1🤣
New challenge: eat 1 MamaSwole brownie for every pull up you ca do. What will get you first? 🤣
Mama Swole, hii!
I thought 0
To be surprised, you'd have to believe that. And why would you? Because some random magazine printed a '1' somewhere on a page?
Just in case anyone is feeling unjustly bad about their weight, there are plenty of super healthy 250lbs people in the world, they're just all pretty tall lol
Yeah exactly, especially when you lift of course you will be heavier.
And jacked 😔✊
Even they may not be healthy because the taller you are the more you have to eat to stay alive
@@HawaiiDEEPS so they eat more????
@@bigbrainbois9603 Duh, but you know how much food it takes for someone of average height to gain healthy weight? Imagine someone who's closer to 7 feet. Many of them can't afford to eat enough to be healthy. Not a lot of 7 foot people are fat like Shaq
I can do pullups 16-17, run a mile for 6:45, height 176 cm, weight 76 kg, around 12% body fat, pushups (to the ground) 48, situps 32, bench press 97 kg, chest measure 107 cm, biceps 40 cm and waist 80 cm. Although I've lifting from the age of 20 (currently 33) I wasn't consistent and that's why I'm steel in that intermediate phase. I'm consistent in the last year so hoping to progress to an advance level of at least 120 kg bench press and 10 muscle ups.
Could you also share your shoe size, ID number, IBAN and your car's registration plate? I think this is the only data we're still missing.

The one pull up makes sense. I had my 3 nephews and my son come over. My 2 nephews that go to the gym regularly did a bunch. The 2 that don’t work out at all did 0 and 2.
"Age when the average guy is in the best shape of his life 23" When I was 23 I had low energy, slept a lot, I could barely keep up with my dad, now that I'm older I got more energy, and am stronger than I ever was.
What did you change? Just started lifting weights or a full lifestyle change (diet, sleep schedule etc.)?
@@evooff I started exercising seriously for over 2 years now but before that I had some energy, I don't know why, maybe I'm age reversing like Benjamin Button
Exactly the same situation here, man. Quitting substances and seriously working out every single day was the game changer.
I have never seen my abs in my entire lifetime, so i don't know how my genetics compare to other bodybuilders. This video is just a daily reminder to be grateful
i have seen my skelet many times, but i have never seen my muscles, hehe
Haven’t had abs in years. Got addicted to PRs.
Yeah, and now after losing a total of 50 pounds it feels like i achieved something at being able to barely see them in good lighting if flexed, but then I realize that there are many people who always had them on a regular basis...
I dieted from 97kg down to 78kg, found out they were not straight at all. Shit ab genetics. Focused on PRs and ate myself back up to 91kg😂😎
@@IosifStalinsendsyoutoGulag That's why people say not to compare yourself. I'm terrible about comparing myself to others as well. I'm working on gaining muscle, and I'm very far from where I want to be, but seeing my improvements is a big motivator, along with imagining my future if I stick to weightlifting. One thing that could probably help, is learning to enjoy the workouts themselves, rather than only enjoying how you look after them. The moment you begin to enjoy the workout, is the moment that you no longer need motivation. You'll greatly appreciate your persistence in the future.
The title should be: "Igor bragging for 18 minutes straight" lol
No doubt! I thought the video was about how much better HE was than the average guy.

Build up your insecurity and you'll be able to pick it up, eventually.
I want to point out that it's not necessarily the resting heart rate alone that determines cardiovascular fitness. Average resting heart rate is approximately 80 BPM.
A much better measure is Pre-load vs. After-load, which follows Sterling's Law of Vascular dynamics.
It looks at your blood pressure before, during and after stressful periods.
Low systolic blood pressure, without risk of orthostatic hypotension, during stressful activity (exercise) is indicative that the after-load is much less than the pre-load. Which is fantastic for your heart health and a much better measure.
I think not posting videos often is a big strategy because every time I see notifications for his videos I get excited like a kid for a candy 🤔
Dude ran a 1 in 6:30 minute saying it ain't good me out here dying to get even that 🥲
He’s full of crap, the average fit guy is around 6-8 minutes depending on bw.
My best is 7 min 30 second. 6 min 30 second is very impressive
6:20 was my best ever but I could probably only get like a 7:30 now
@@nickleback3695 Depends on what you mean as fit, if you're talking about a body builder, yeah 7-8 minutes is a pretty good time. However, for people who play basketball or soccer or semi aerobic sports, they should definitely be able to go under 6 minutes.
Actually this mans standards are high possibly higher than the marine Corps standards which is considered hard in the USA but now looking at it the USA’s fitness average is straight up pathetic
I used to be really fat. I was on the verge of developing serious health conditions. I remember not being able to tie my shoelaces and my sleep suffered as well. My life changed when I finally set my mind to the thinking that anything is possible if you decide so. I took a meal plan to start with. I created it online, on Dietarize, which was super helpful to me. I didn't have to worry about calories, macros, nutrients and all that stuff, I just focused on walking long distances and exercising after I got on a level where I could do some simple workouts. I hope my story will inspire you to do the same. To change your body you must first change your mind!
Wishing you the best on your journey, you got this !
@@Bassdude2013 Thanks bro
Last time i had an ECG done, my heartrate was somewhere between 38 and 40 BPM. They did the test five times because they initially thought the equipment was defect, and eventually called over a cardiologist (expert in heart and vessels), to check on me. Turns out my resting heart rate is just exceptionally low.
Since then i have gained around 15kg (muscle and fat), and now my resting heart rate is around 45, according to my smartwatch atleast. The increase og body mass definitely shows. Im 25 btw.
Mine was 36 when I was an athlete in university. Now, 4 years removed, it fluctuates from 39-42.
Seeing the average man 3D model made me feel way better
Bruh that ruler joke made watching til the end worth it
When he got to the bpm I remembered something, my great uncle was in the USAF and was an FBI agent and was so fit that his bpm resting was 34 give or take 2 (don’t exactly remember) and was the fastest in the fbi until he was in his late 40’s and everyone else was in their twenties and early thirties. This guy is really inspiring and is still alive. (Also he crash landed a plane in Las Vegas country club when spying on the mafia if anyone wants to look it up)
@Joseph Gaber I knew he existed but didn't start talking to him until that last year or so. He has a lot of cool stories to tell, he only had to kill one dude if I remember bc of a bank robbery.
@Joseph Gaber and I did forget to mention how he is referenced in a movie

Him: if you're at a 80BPM resting heartrate you are overweight and unhealthy
Me: *has anxiety* 😃
Modern problems require modern solutions. The solution: GET MOVING DAMNIT
I started measuring my heart rate just for fun. I have pretty bad anxiety as well and the anxiety of seeing what the number was made my heart rate increase while I was measuring it. It was probably in the 60's but by time I was done it was thoroughly mid 70's. 😭
@@SaurianSoul oh god I'm so sorry. That's super relatable
You shouldnt get your health advice from a guy on UA-cam, speak with your doctor instead if you are worried!
I’ve been active my whole life, and have done sports (including water polo which is the most intense cardio ever) and my resting heart rate has always been in the mid 80’s to 100. So weird
Personal trainer here, still work out at 40 years even though im not in the buisness any longer, just want to say how i love to see an honest natural bodybuilder talking, honestly it makes me feel better about myself about not being as big and jacked as the roid heads, i have zero respect for them but they pop up everywhere so you have to always remind yourself that they are using to not feel bad about your own fitness level.
Your clips are a great reminder that you can look great naturally and you SHOULD stay natural.

Age when people are at their peak physique : 23
Me who literally started working out when i was 23 : 😥
Doesnt matter, better now than ever. I started at 23-24 and was 110lb now at 29 Im 156lb ........if I had never started I would still be 110lb stick....I mean Im still a stick but you get my point
Peak male age 28/29 still got time
My physical condition was literally the worst in 23, I was a blob, after that I started training... and the average man is at peak in 23.
Turning 33 this year and in the best shape of my life. Started training at 23 💪🏻
I started powerlifting 2 months before I turned 40... No worries, there are still a lot of gains there
Dude, so long since I first started watching your videos. I'm a pretty small guy who only does calisthenics with some odd spells in the gym, but I still love your style and content. Keep it up!
This the question that nobody even knew that they'd be interested in knowing
You really caught me off guard with that pec tear clip
Thanks for warning me. I saw your comment right as he was finna bench press.
Most pre-workouts/vitamins/ creatine or whatever usually are packaged around 28-40 servings. So you need to buy monthly. So times that number you had by 3 and you will get a closer figure to a yearly budget XD
Definitely pre workout will be monthly but protein and creatine can be bought more in bulk so both those could last a few months each
I was at the oral surgeon and they took my heart rate. I had spent the previous 30 minutes listening to doom music by mick Gordon in order to wake myself up. The lady taking my heart rate thought I was a runner because my heart rate was so low, in the upper 40s. She actually called someone in to make sure she was measuring it right. She was.
A sub 7 minute mile is pretty good my dude lol.
When you’re in middle school, yes.
When I was in college I was a cross country/track runner and my resting heart rate was generally 42-48 bpm. I don’t run as much now but it’s around 55-63 bpm. When my body fights off sickness or I do a very tough workout and my body needs to heal my heart rate goes into the 70’s or 80’s. If I’m really sick I’ve seen it go up in the 90’s while resting.
Great video topic. I feel like most people who lift regularly forgets that the average guy isnt one of the jacked dudes at their gym. this vid really puts things into perspective!
I can say I line up with most of these as an American male, aside from stuff like spending on supplements. I don't work out in the traditional sense. I just do physical labor jobs to stay in shape. I'm 21 yrs old, 165lbs, 5'9, 6:40 mile, 15in biceps, 32" waist, probably somewhere between 15-20% body fat, bench 165lbs, squat 300lbs, deadlift 225lbs (never attempted a higher weight after I had a back injury), 1 arm curl 50lbs (1rm 60lbs). I'd say that is above average, I used to play baseball as well, so my heart rate is in the 50s at rest.
5:05 so if I have a resting heart rate of 0 bpm that means I am the fittest I can be. Got it.
Should I be concerned?
RIP
6:30 min mile is actually really good, in my opinion.
It's.. decent, but I wouldn't call it really good. I've just recalculated my usual 8km run, and apparently I average about 7:40 per mile. That being said, that's like a 5 mile run, I could definitely do a single mile under 7 I think, and I'm 34 and still have like 5 kgs too much (that used to be 20). Someone as fit as igor can definitely do better if he trains a bit for it hehe.
I can do 5:30 but cause I am skinny boy
I'm right there with ya. I think 6:30 is a really good 1 mile time. But then again, I've never run below 8 min in my life.
It's way lower than average for sure lol. But from a competitive standpoint 6:30 is not great. Maxed out at 4:40 during high school but I struggle to do a sub 7:00 mile 12 years removed from my track days.
No that is terrible, I began running a few weeks ago and can already run a 4:25 min mile.
Never in my life I had 52 bpp resting heart rate,even when I had a 6-pack and tons of exercise
Yeah I think some of these numbers were complete bullshit lol
I'm a runner and I actually have a resting heart rate of between 48 - 58 (Measuring using Garmin watch, not totally accurate) or so. I can also run a mile in 6:40 min
I go to the gym 5 times per week and my bpm is 66
@@stavros97drifter Remember that it's cardio (running, swimming, biking, etc) that make your heart stronger, not lifting weights.
you could have a 52 bpp if you exclusivelly did aerobic training. This is bullshit because fit imo is a mix people good strength and cardio
I'm no average man by size or (maybe) income.... but $1200 a year in supplements seems pretty easy to do. $40 Whey protein every month. $40 pre-workout W/ creatine every 2 months. Athletic greens $70 every month. Omega 3s $20 every 3 months. = $1640/annual.
He's saying a 30 serving tub of protein and preworkout will last 2-3 months "even if you're going all out"... We listen to him for his muscles not his math abilities.
I remember in school we were counting our heart rates and mine was the lowest and I thought that was bad.. Happy to find out its normal for an athletic person

Note: I'm 40 years old, and obese at around 350lbs/around 40% body fat - I'm constantly doing something about this and I fight my bad eating habits, but have failed a lot. I also lift regularly and walk a lot. My resting heart rate over the past two/three years has been between 45 to 50 BPM. Just a note.
Man its hard but worth it. Trust me you will feel so fucking good if you keep your diet as small n clean as needed. Its an investment of motivation. You will in just a couple weeks get the full benefits. I can do it with a crazy fked life - you can do it
You must be really tall and have a ton of muscle mass for those numbers to be true. If you lost 70 lbs, you would be 280 lbs with some resemblance of a six pack starting to show (20% bf). I'm watching the Greg Doucette channel a bit and it's helping me stay motivated as I try to make a step from 18 to hopefully 15% body fat. I think if you stay at it, and weigh in each morning, you could easily hit 25% body fat coming from 40%. But I have never been over 20%, so I can't speak much personally for anything beyond that except guess. I'm 38 now and I can say that getting fat is getting scarily easy these days.
Keep it up
Slow and steady
I actually do use my squat rack to hang my BJJ gi right after practice until I have enough clothes for a load of laundry. I also use my squat rack to do squats.
I think resting heart rate is related to VO2 max, which is pretty much your cardiovascular capacity. When I was in high school I played varsity soccer, I had 2 hrs practice 5 days a week, including some really high intensity conditioning such as running hills and stuff like that. One time I went to check out my broken finger, and the nurse was impressed that I had a resting heart rate of 47. Ten years later, I just tested and I have a rest heart rate of 62 lol.
I'd say kinda, not entirely. Personally my resting heart rate is kinda good (~62) but my VO2 max is kinda shit-ish. I'd guess when training strength you train your heart too, but not much your VO2 max. It's probable though that I'm biased since I have asthma, and weirdly enough the condition doesn't really affect VO2 max much, but instead the respiratory flow (which really gets felt when I'm running)
As a rule maybe, but my RHR is in the mid 40s whereas my VO2 max has always been trash. I'm 37 btw and I rarely drink alcohol, I lift 5x a week and smoke weed maybe once or twice a week..
16:50 In those renderings at the beginning, with the Dutch, American, French and Japanese men, the average waist size for the American man was 99cm I think, so that's about 39 inches.
Wel ive spent like 100k in the last year on Sups so I’m sure I made the act go up. Anyone who actually consistently use the supplements is going to spend way more than $874 a year I mean think of it you could spend that much on protein powder alone

i think I'm pretty average and I go through about 5 lbs of protein every 4-6 weeks. So I'm close to $600/yr just on protein. And I buy the cheap ON whey.
No , maybe if you are careless and immature with ur finances .
Yeah I was going to say the same thing. Works out at around $70 bucks a month. I personally but a decent quality whey (3rd party tested), creatine, pre, multi vitamins and some omega 3. Pretty basic, but that could average out at $70 a month pretty easily.
@@user-zk4dv2nx8k I order protein bars/cookies/muesli on the regular for breakfast/inbetween meals pretty much everyday, How is it "careless" if it's used as nutrition/supplementation to what your body uses. Careless would be buying a pair of 1k jeans when a 50$ brand is just as good
I'm 37, 197 lbs, and 5'9" so technically obese. However while doing some medical training at work the other day using a pulse oximeter my resting HR was 53. I work out at least 4-5 times a week. My point is that the "obesity" percentage may be a little misleading.
Pretty sure that counts as overweight and not obese though
