vo2 max is horrendous. why?
okay to provide some context, i’m a female, 24 y/o, 130lbs, 4’11. i’m a bodybuilder, have been weightlifting for almost three years, and weighed around 100-110lbs before i started doing any sort of exercise.
tldr: a lot of my weight is muscle mass, and i appear fit
i’ve been regularly doing cardio and just finished my fire academy a few weeks ago. im not in the best shape, but i’ve been improving. just got over a chest infection and bronchitis that lasted for a few months as well.
i’m having a lot of trouble with this metric. i have not updated my weight in my health app since my summer bulk where i hit 140lbs. i heard that weight entries affect vo2 max a lot on the apple watch.
i’ve been doing a lot more interval training on the treadmill as of lately. i decreased the amount of zone 2 work i was doing because it wasn’t helping with my endurance as much as interval and hiit stuff was. any advice? furthermore, how accurate is this metric?
