There was this guy who used to post on here named Flagpole, his resting heart rate was. A lot of you probably wouldn't remember him. He was a real man though, that's for sure.

Now at sub 17 it's still around 37-38.
I don't know why some of you are so ignorant when it comes to hr.
It is GENETIC and has NOTHING to do with performance. Not a SINGLE thing.
Educate yourself.
Sure it does. It's just not well-correlated. Correlated, but not well-correlated, especially between 2 different people.
Take a person who hasn't run regularly before. Then put them on a running regimen for 3 years. Their resting heart rate will fall, until a certain point. You likely hit that point. And you're right to say that what people start out at and what they can "fall" to is in large part genetically determined. But it would be incorrect to say that it's not related.
For that matter, why are you and so many other people so obsessed with asserting that someone else is uneducated? At no point did that other person give you evidence that he was uneducated; he simply tried to call your (incorrectly assumed) bluff. Yet the retaliation is to call him uneducated? (Which carries the convenient consequence of implying that you are educated.) This world is quickly becoming a collection arrogant a$$holes.
A few years back my father needed to get a pacemaker because after a sleep study was done it was found that at some point of the night he would drop down to about 25bpm. So I would say that 25bpm or slightly above it is the limit to what is recommended for a healthy adult. (Yes I realize 25bpm is a world record. We did not pursue the record and the pacemaker makes it impossible to test now).

Instead of being an dick, why don’t you learn some physiology.
You have a lot of oxygen in your blood stream even when your lungs stop that is why you keep the heart pumping at 100 beats a minute in CPR, but only give about 4 breaths a minute.
Your heart rate goes UP when your body starts building up CO2 (usually happens in conjunction with less O2), because the body is trying to circulate as much 02 as possible. Since the lungs arent working the heart try’s to compensate.
With practice, you can relax your body while holding your breath, decreasing the rate O2 is exchanged for CO2, and your heart temporarily slows down... but as the CO2 starts building up from involuntary muscles and organs are still operating (heart, arteries, intestines, brain,
etc) your heart rate will increase.
Why don’t you quit being a condescending prick and shut your face about things you don’t know about.

why you do him like that
It’s a combination of inherent cardiac structure and training, the latter because of increased vagal tone from chronically elevated sympathetic drive during exercise. I train about 2 hours a week and am generally around 50 bpm. Because of this I had an echocardiogram that showed I have a large (but not enlarged) heart with a stroke volume of 148 ml, which is twice normal, or a bit less as I’m 6’2”. 50 year old hobby jogger, ran a 2 min 800 in HS so it doesn’t necessarily translate into anything impressive. If you’re significantly bradycardic you need at least an EKG to make sure you don’t have QTc prolongation as that combination risks lethal arrhythmias.

And plasma volume. Which is why it's lower when you have been doing training involving sweating a lot and higher when it's cold and you don't train.

Uhhhh, EPO and blood doping might have played at least some role in that.

He may have been a dick when he posted five years ago. But you're a moran for responding five years later.
I find that day in and out of just running something like 5 miles doesn't move my resting heart rate much. It's in the low 50s asleep or around 60 awake. But if I start doing at least 10 mile long runs or some big workouts my resting heart rate soon drops into the 40s and my resting awake heart rate the low 50s. Moves like this require good rest, though. Your heart rate stays higher if you aren't getting rest after your big workouts. Guys with high heart rates likely aren't getting rest or else are always pushing the envelope when they run. If you can make a lot of your running aerobic and go through weeks without running to the brink much it's fairly easy to observe regular heart rates that are quite low.
