Here's the weird thing: some nights I have pressure in my chest. Last night I had it. Then next thing I know, I check the health app in my phone and it reports me that my heart rate dropped under 45 bpm for 10 minutes at 7:22 (went as low as 41 bpm). So I have bradicardia as well. Do you have your heart rate monitored during sleep, for comparison? Mine usually stays at 52-57.

I'm going to see a cardiologist in a few hours, just to be sure.

Well, one thing that would definitely be beneficial is to lose weight - less weight, less effort moving that lower weight around. I'm pretty sure if I were ~85 kg right now I would see a difference.

Wednesday 20th March 2024

Achilles feeling much better upon waking this morning, so the stuff I did yesterday has helped.

So on Sunday I ate 2200 calories, 185g protein, 153g fat, 15g carbs
Monday 1830 calories, 178g protein, 121g fat, 5g carbs
But yesterday, on Tuesday 3757 calories, 329g protein, 262g fat, 10g carbs

I was ravenous! Clearly my body was crying out for nutrients, so I had no choice to eat big
But I have noticed that calories in, does not always correlate with calories out on Carnivore.
Digesting protein is heavy, and also converting protein to glycogen is also hard work for the body.
Was hot all night

I don't seem to get fatter when I eat this much on Carnivore, it seems to go to repairing my body's past metabolic damage, refueling and making my muscles bigger.
Some how my bodyweight was down to 89.5kg this morning, when I was 90kg on Sunday....

Seemed to have helped my strength today

Even the weight feels lighter on my shoulders.
That has to add up over time, when you can push 3 extra reps over beltless.

Puts e1RM around 160kg, up 20kg from last week

100? Is it Usain Bolt or Kipchoge that you play with?

Here is the first paper that came up googling it:

Results. For the point guards, forwards and centers, respectively, HRmax (in beats•min) were 186±11.7, 176±8.3 and 177±7.7; and HRmean (beats•min-1) were 163±14.3, 151±10.3 and 155±9.4.

That is 160 average +-10 (which means some had 170 average) for professional basketball players!

So relax.
