"I signed up to get these shoes and didn't realize that they charge if you don't 'skip the month'. The first time I called and they refunded my money and said emails are sent monthly to remind customers to skip the month. Well the emails came for a few months and then they stopped so of course I forgot and was charged. I tried getting a refund and they said no so I had to use the credit. I tried cancelling the membership and my call never went through and when I started an online chat and told the associate the reason for my chatting with her was to cancel she disconnected us so I couldnt. After that my bank froze my card for some fradulent activity and issued me a new card with a new number and everything and so I thought the nightmare with this company was over. Well they charged me again and I called asking how they got my card number and they said they have a contract with a third party member that is able to get the details of my new card and that I agreed to allow that to happen when I signed up. Needless to say I figured out how to bypass the long phone prompts and was able to finally stop my membership with this company. They are ridiculous and should be out of business with the way they run things. "
Also cardiac output is more correctly a function of stroke volume, how much blood is pumped for each stroke. Therefore very well trained athletes actually have a lower max hr.
Also cardiovascular drift can increase your max HR, this happens when it's very hot or you have lost a lot of water due to sweating, this causes stroke volume to decrease and heart rate to increase while you still at the same physical output. You hear ppl saying my heart rate was so high and i didn't feel like i was working that hard, it's usually due to cardiovascular drift.
Here is a good video he gave on polarized training, http://www.canal-insep.fr/fr/training-periodization-deep-roo...

"In fact, PRRI's data show that a full 75 percent of whites have "entirely white social networks without any minority presence." The same holds true for slightly less than two-thirds of black Americans." Now isolate the 14% black population from all minorities, take into account how minorities cluster and the 75% number is for black friendship is probably even higher than 90%
Look at it another way 66% of black people say they do not have a white person in their social network. So roughly 34% of 14% of the population have a person in their social network from the white population. So how the hell can all these white people claim to have all these black friends?

Firstly that says of another race, could be arab,persian, Italian, asian, etc... Secondly, no way in hell 60% of america can have a friend from a pool of 14% of America. This is impossible looking at how race groups tend to cluster.
