HRV
Go anywhere these days, and the trend is to yammer on about recovery metrics.
Is it a helpful conversation? What are some things to look out for?
I was recently on Barbell Shrugged to chat about HRV, sleep, and using the Oura ring.
Check out the podcast below.
>> Tracking HRV and Sleep with the Oura Ring <<
As stated in the podcast, I'm stoked to work with Dr. Andy Galpin, Dan Garner, Anders, Doug, and the fantastic crew at Rapid Health!
I am helping with the visible stressor evaluations and Oura analysis. I've been working there part-time since November, and it is epic.
I am still here and working on other projects too. There's always something going on!
Much love!
Dr. Mike

Wind screaming off the Gulf, sending my kite overhead to fly 18+ feet in the air for over 100 feet and salt in every crevice of my existence. Yep, I am back in my happy place of S Padre TX. In between sessions on the water, my buddy and fellow kiteboarding kook Mike Lakawa and I got into a discussion that I hear very often. Mid-exhaustion, sun-wrecked, probably slightly dehydrated despite the irony of being surrounded by water, we landed on the same problem I keep seeing in coaches and...
Hola from South Padre where I am sitting here with coffee, a wind forecast that is finally doing something useful, and one piece of information from FMC class 4 that is so stupidly simple and so stupidly useful that it has no right to be this ignored. Can you guess it? It is the 2-minute heart rate recovery (HRR) test. You can do it today. You probably have everything you need right now. And if the number is bad — and for most lifters wandering the treadmills of PF— it will tell you at ton...
Hola from sunny South Padre Island and the wind forecast is looking like it might actually cooperate today. Before I hit the water, one thing worth understanding about why this system matters for lifters specifically as I know don't want to a cardio bunny. The big thing that improves with a better aerobic / cardiovascular system is that the rest time between sets — and your ability to come back ready the next training day — is dramatically better A bigger aerobic engine means faster recovery...
