Heart Rates and BMI

[Patrickssj6]

BMI 20.4
72bpm

Just ran 14km yesterday in 1h at a charity "marathon". No training and getting wasted every weekend xD Do you guys relaxed on purpose to measure the heart rate? Unusual low...tbh

bmi is 18.9 and bpm is 68. also, in regards to the above, i noticed my heart was beating much faster when i started measuring my bpm, then i felt it slow waaaay down about 5 seconds in. upon checking it now, its back up a bit.

Jesus Christ man that's insane. It's insane that you don't have much more mass despite your caloric intake even for a fast metabolism. Hell, more power to ya. You get to eat whatever the hell you want. I'm pretty much the same way in the sense that I can eat whatever I want and not worry about extra fat.

I think I could have 7% body fat if I incorporated more cardio. But for now, I'm lifting heavier weights with less reps while eating 7 meals a day.

Well I don't work out at all, given my line of work (working on industrial diesel engines, everything is fucking heavy).
I'm actually really strong for my size, though having no weight to counterbalance lifting something heavy kinda sucks. Though, I have no clue where all the calories go. My theory is that most of it just gets burned of as waste heat. My core temperature is lower than normal, but my skin temperature is higher than normal (meaning that I give off a lot of my core heat, so when it gets cold out, I get cold faster than everyone else). I also have hypothyroidism. Not Hyper, Hypo, which makes no fucking sense given my size. Also, I do not normally eat a lot. I usually have between 1500-2000 calories a day, but my doctors put me on the 3000+ diet for a few months to see what would happen. Nothing.

Interesting. Some peoples genetics are just very unique in different ways.

Are you me?

What?

I'm 6'0 160ibs. If you have the same body type, then yes.

[ODX]

BMI: 25.0 (5ft 7.5in / 1.7145m by 162lb / 73.482kg)
Heart Rate: ~55bmp (but bound to lower as the season carries on)

As a note, I'm a swimmer (specialty: breaststroker) so it's actually pretty average for me to be "overweight" since we're normally short and strong. At least, compared to the freakishly tall freestyle peeps. Also I have no idea what my body fat is, but it's probably decently low.

[Limited]

Well I'm currently ill with a cold and chest infection, but I compared myself with results from February 2012 and its worse :O

Today
BMI 18.8
9 stone 13 lbs (139lbs total)
17.2% fat
59.2% water
41.7% muscle.

Feb 2012
BMI 19.1
10 stone 3 lbs (143lbs total)
7.8% fat
65.4% water
48.5% muscle.

I'll post my current heartrate when I measure after I've gone to rest state after running around

Fyi, BMI scale is total BS, it says rugby players are obese.

Those wondering about their metabolism should probably take a look at their blood oxygen saturation, the higher the saturation the better your body works out.
Having said that, you would be amazed at how low a level you can survive although I wouldn't advise it.
Your blood saturation level is a lot more important than your BMI, BMI just assumes the extra weight is fat.

19.4 and "i'm not sure", it varies from about 50-80 and everything in between even at rest. right now it's really low because i just woke up, i've checked it while resting before and it's been over 70.

my body is really odd

e/ also throw me in with the 'weird metabolism' crowd. no matter what i eat, or how much of it i eat, my weight never passes 65kg (i'm 6' tall almost exactly). the real kicker is that now i'm a civilian again, i do absolutely zero strenuous activity, so how i burn that much fucking energy is beyond me.
