@jeremiah99 Interesting. Wouldn’t resting heart rate change slowly over time? I guess what I was looking for was a reliable high frequency measure of progress, and from what people have said, it doesn’t seem like there is one. HRV is interesting but there are so many contributing factors that...

@jim_68 This is fantastic! I wish I’d read this before posting the long blurb above. Thank you.

@juancarlos I’m incorporating writing down how the workout felt into my notes starting today. Thanks for the tip.

@pero Deficit > strength training > Cardio for weight loss. Do all 3. There is no point being in a deficit if all you’re going to do is lose weight and be weak. There is no point in being strong if you can’t walk up a flight of stairs without huffing. There is no point being able to run a mile...
