Summary
Kenny loves lifting weights. He will tell you this repeatedly. But as he gets older and starts thinking about being around when his son has kids, and his kids have kids, he's paying a lot more attention to the numbers that predict whether he'll actually make it to that table. This solo episode walks through five cardiovascular metrics — resting heart rate, heart rate recovery, heart rate variability, VO2 max, and blood pressure — what they mean, what you should be shooting for, how to measure them without getting lied to by your watch, and what to actually do about them. There's also a solid rant about HRV wearables that is entirely earned.
