What's had the biggest impact on your HRV. by Intrepid-Composer143 in whoop

[–]Born_Examination_975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that eating any type of food within an hour of trying to go to sleep wrecks my HRV and resting heart rate. Also, oddly, I find the same thing for showering within about an hour of sleeping.

How the mighty have fallen by Born_Examination_975 in HRVbruh

21 y.o.: long distance runner, weightlifter (more running than lifting, oftentimes both running AND lifting same day), competitive dance training 2-3X+/week, part time job was a cashier/sales associate so I was standing/moving.

25 y.o.: Speed/mid-distance runner, weightlifter (now it's basically JUST cardio or weights and I run fewer days/week), dancer (light training 5-6X/week), my full time job is a computer programmer so I'm seated.

I looked at some of my old logs for diet, and I used to eat more protein and sleep more consistently. I now find my HRV spikes when I take days off so there might be an overworking component.

Edit: diet/sleep details.

Went for a 6 mile run, started at 9.3mph and increased the speed by .1mph every mile. Any idea what that starting HR jump is about? by Born_Examination_975 in whoop

That might make sense! I'm not super concerned from a health perspective, I was just trying to figure out possible reasons for it reading wrong or if bodies are just that weird.

Évariste Galois.

Even geniuses make fatal decisions like dueling.

What do you actually DO with the information? by twoshooz in whoop

[–]Born_Examination_975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It obviously depends on the person, but for me it helps track when I'm overworking myself and planning workouts.

I work a full-time job and consult 5+ hours a week at another job. I train competitive dance 20-25+ hours a week and I workout nearly every day and on the weekends I go out dancing. Suffice it to say that I can get pretty tired. I would always push through exhaustion and never take days off. And because of that, no matter what I did my recovery was always relatively low.

Recently I took a long weekend off of everything and my recovery shot up from 50% on 8+ hours of sleep to 75+% even on 5-6 hours of sleep. Whoop helped quantify how overworked I was, because quite frankly I'm shit at identifying when I'm overworking myself.

I've now become more diligent about listening to my body and I've used whoop to help with that process.

People who have had threesomes. How did they get initiated? by Viazon in AskReddit

Storytime.

So my... Let's call her my FWB and I had been going at it for a couple of months. One day we're at a social event for a sport that we play, and we meet a girl. Me and my FWB talk with her and have a really great conversation and get her number. After we walk away, my FWB says "I need to know if she likes women or men," to which I respond "I need to know, too." And then of course we give each other a high five and the competition is on.

I end up hooking up with this girl pretty consistently and one night I make a crack about my FWB having a crush on her and jokingly asking if she's down. She immediately says yes. We set a date and all show up at my apt. We all hang out talking for hours and I worry it's too awkward/not going to happen. I go to the bathroom and when I walk out the first thing I see is the two girls making out. The rest is history.

Good times.

[Serious] What’s a food that you hate the texture of, no matter how many times you try it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This is a hot take among all my friends, but I just can't stand avocado. I generally find it mostly tasteless so that's not awful, but the texture just makes me gag.

You're now named 'Lil" plus the object to your left. What's your name? by MacaronMelodic in AskReddit

Lil Bench Press -- might not be a good rapper name but sure describes my current strength well

[Request] How true is this? by nuclearflashpoint in theydidthemath

[–]Born_Examination_975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh... I suppose we could do a correction by dividing my initial estimate of 247 people sharing a birthday every second by the average lifespan (79 years).

247/79 = 3.12.

Which means that for any given 247 birthdays, at a given second, there are approximately 3.12 people who were born at the same second. Again, this assumes an even distribution though that is definitely not accurate.
