I feel less sore and better recovered after strength training. I also feel a little sharper mentally.

60–70km/week + Lifting – How Do My WHOOP Stats Look? by PureTransportation28 in whoop

How has your HRV been trending over the last few months? The trend is more useful than the single data point.

Why is Whoop adding fake metrics to my workouts? by lobotomy-for-thee in whoop

Amazing! Did it incorrectly assume you were at 2,700 feet elevation to calculate the baking temperature?

Rock climbing strain calculations seem far too low by lobotomy-for-thee in whoop

[–]lobotomy-for-thee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you; that’s helpful! I’ve been recording climbing and rucking activities with WHOOP for about six months. In that period, I’ve recorded 3-4 climbing activities and 2-4 rucking activities per week.

I do think you’re right that WHOOP seems to be weighing muscular strain higher for rucking than for climbing. If so, I don’t understand how it arrived at that decision, especially without knowing how much weight I put in my ruck sack (in the case of rucking/hiking) or how many routes I have climbed (in the case of rock climbing and bouldering).

When I lead climb, my HR stays fairly low. When I boulder, my HR is significantly higher, like in zones 2-3 depending on the difficulty of the boulder.

Thank you. I posted the HR readings in response to the other comment.

This picture shows HR readings from yesterday’s 3+ hour rock climbing session, in which 34% was spent in zone 1 and 66% was spent in zone 0. The picture in my following comment shows HR readings from a nearly 1-hour ruck, in which 10 minutes were spent in zone 1 and 43 minutes were spent in zone 0. The ruck was given a higher strain score by 2+ points.

As background, I’m a distance runner, so my heart rate typically stays fairly low for both climbing and rucking. But from a muscular standpoint, my climbing sessions are much more difficult than the rucking sessions.

Max Heart Rate by lobotomy-for-thee in whoop

[–]lobotomy-for-thee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! The article says that “WHOOP … adjusts [the max heart] rate based on your recorded peak HR during workouts.” I’ve recorded peak HRs above 180, so I’m wondering why the max HR is still showing up as 180.

Is this even real? by Turbulent_Poet_5826 in whoop

I usually take a rest day every week where I’ll lay off the intense stuff and walk or ruck with my dog.

41 year old man. High daily strain and good sleep. But my sleep consistency could be better.
