Agree that "rule of thumb" Max HR is not necessarily correct. I exceed my max HR quite frequently and suspect my max is closer to 170 than the calculated 155. Doctor supervised stress tests will never take you to the max as they don't want you to collapse. They generally take me to about 145 and I always offer to go higher but they refuse.
My younger wife takes her HR to 170 on most workouts. I suspect that fitter people may have a higher Max HR?
