I there’s no right or wrong, good or bad here. Or if you can play around with going based off your heart rate as well. So know the focus of your program and if you need to go strictly based on time. This honestly just indicates how quickly your heart rate is recovering between sets. So you can stick to your one minute of rest, and/or, start your next set based on your heart rate recovering to say 120 to 135 beats per minute. Now the scheduled rest for strength and hypertrophy training will likely be based on the muscular demand and stimulus versus the metabolic stimulus or demand. It can simply be interesting to see what your heart rate gets to during your working sets and if it recovers within your scheduled rest. I am not saying that this is an end all be all approach. This can also be effective if you want to integrate heart rate training into strength training. But it’s nice to just glanced down at my watch and see my rest. You could absolutely use an app on your phone or look at a clock. But I use mine to monitor and stick to my rest periods. I realize this sounds very simple and elementary. 4 Ways to Use a Polar Heart Rate Monitor with Strength Training: And if you own one and want to integrate it into your training, this episode will hopefully be helpful. While they are absolutely not needed, as stated earlier, I do think that they have a use. Today’s episode is going to be about how to use these watches and straps in terms of strength training. I don’t know what claims Polar makes about the use of the watches without a chest strap, but my personal experience has been that you need the chest strap. And I will say that I have never had a Polar watch be accurate without the use of a chest strap. At the time of this episode I currently use the Polar Unite Watch and H 10 strap. On Instagram I have a review of my favorite polar watches if you would like to check that out as well. So I just have nothing but good things to say about the brand and their products or systems. We used their system during my internship at University of Portland to monitor all athletes heart rates during training and conditioning. But I have used their products since 2011 or 2012. But they are also a useful tool for those who lift weights as their primary mode of exercise. Obviously at heart rate monitors can be used for conditioning, or cardio. The other training goes over how to actually think about and integrate the zones within strength training. One of the videos is general and just goes over the different zones and what they mean. And in that, there are two trainings on energy systems development. Inside Built by Annie I have a resource called Annie’s Secret Laboratory of Brain Gains.
