Keep your TARGET HEART RATE at 120 bpm during weight training. That means less chatter and shorter breaks between sets. A huge help for those stubborn LBs and slowing metabolism. Good luck!

    Get out of here, I'm 49 and that's about 30-40 points below where I'm training comfortable

    During weight training or cardio? How long are your breaks between sets?

    Compound lifts and supersets keep HR up ..if I'm squatting and deadlifting my HR will be far higher than 120 comfortably

    Clearly rows, flies, any isolation or seated would be lower

    But as long as you're comfortable an arbitrary HR max is...well it's arbitrary

    I'm more interested in my rest periods being long enough for ATP replenishment to take place, to preserve the intensity of my workout. If I want to keep my heart rate up, I'll do cardio.
