I was wondering how to take my pulse. Reason-- If you take your pulse in the morning and it is higher than normal upon waking, it is a SIGN that you are overtraining. I called my doctor because I started a new routine and dropped like 3 lbs in a week and a half, my max (bench) went up like 10lbs so I know I got stronger.:thumbs: then the other thing is, what should my pulse normally be?? or how do I figure it out, I know this is probably one of those things where it will differ from one to another. I didnt ask my doc this when I was on the phone with him because I didnt want to keep him on the phone too long, proly got insurance companys to fight with! any help would really be appreciated!!

My stats:
5%BF
198lbs
73in
Bench:295
Squat:420
Supplements:
Fish oil, multi, glutamine, creatine, BCAA's

I know this isn't question related, but 5% bf? I call bullshit no offense, unless you are really close to a show. Are you trying to lose weight?

As for the question generally speaking the lower the resting heart rate the better, to an extent. If it's too low, it can drop your blood pressure and you can pass out.

alright, you can call bullshit all you want, how do you want me to prove it?? If I give you stats, and want a serious answer, why would I lie about my bf

I dont think youre lying, theres no reason to. I think youre just mistaken. I doubt if theres anyone on this forum right now thats at 5%. Thats contest lean right there with every vein in your body stickin out.

noone is attacking you dawg, they're just trying to get you to re-think your bf. You don't want to go around thinking your bf is 5% when really it's 10%. Are you competing soon?

post a picture...
or you could post a copy of a document from getting it tested. I know when I get my bf tested hydrostatically, they email me a report listing the temp, predicted residual lung volume, date of test, formula used, height, dry weight, etc....
