i would just like to say the resting heart rate thing is very true

i had a heartrate of 75 bpm with 14% bodyfat, which made me think wow i have to do more cardio i must be dying or something..

but then i took a week off and my heartrate is now 60 bpm... wow talk about overreaching

Yep, another valuable objective diagnostic we use to great advantage in BP. And it's free!

Rob,

I've been checking my resting heart rate throughout the week. It's averaging about 4-5 bpm faster than my baseline which I'm guessing is just fine and showing I'm recovering ok?

Yes, but keep an eye on it. If it climbs anywhere near 7/8, back off and insert an extra rest day (or two)! ;)

I never caught this question before, only now.

The Newsletter predates the internet, starting as a print publication in 1993. Once it became net based, it was (and is) via subscription email and then issues were posted complete online at a later date.

Subscribe here now, if you haven't- https://bodybuildingsupplements.com/feedback.html

We do have most all original issues in our archives, but they are not easily transcribed and some of the information is dated to a degree.

That said, we may bring back select blast from the past articles as we move forward since many articles do remain quite relevant and timeless.
