Here is your full VO2 max analysis:

VO2 Max Calculation

Your Run Stats

Metric	Value
Distance	2.01 km
Time	10:21 (10.35 min)
Avg Pace	5'08"/km
Avg HR	189 BPM
Max HR (recorded)	199 BPM
Effort	Hard (7/10)

Method 1: Heart Rate-Based (Uth-Sorensen Formula)

This is the most commonly validated non-lab formula:

VO2 max = 15 × (HRmax / HRrest)

Your max HR from this run = 199 BPM. This formula requires your resting HR. A typical resting HR for a trained male aged 31-35 is ~55-65 BPM. Using 60 BPM as a representative estimate:

VO2 max = 15 × (199 / 60) = 15 × 3.317 = ~49.7 ml/kg/min

If your resting HR is 55 BPM: → 54.3 ml/kg/min If your resting HR is 65 BPM: → 45.9 ml/kg/min

Method 2: Pace-Based (Jack Daniels' Running Formula)

This uses your running speed and is very reliable for field estimates.

Pace: 5'08"/km → Speed = 11.68 km/h = 194.6 m/min

Using the Daniels/Gilbert oxygen cost equation:

VO2 at pace = 0.000104 × v² + 0.182258 × v − 4.60

Where v = 194.6 m/min:

0.000104 × (194.6)² = 0.000104 × 37849 = 3.936
0.182258 × 194.6 = 35.47
Total = 3.936 + 35.47 − 4.60 = 34.8 ml/kg/min at this pace

Now, since your avg HR (189) is ~95% of your max HR (199), you were running at near-maximal effort. Your fractional utilization at ~95% HRmax ≈ ~95% of VO2 max.

VO2 max = 34.8 / 0.95 = ~36.6 ml/kg/min

Note: This lower estimate reflects that your pace (5'08"/km) is modest relative to your very high HR - this can happen during a short, hard effort where HR overshoots due to run duration and heat effects.

Method 3: Cooper-Equivalent Estimate (extrapolated from 2km time)

Your 2.01 km in 10:21 → extrapolated 12-minute distance ≈ 2.33 km

Cooper VO2 max = (distance in meters − 504.9) / 44.73 = (2330 − 504.9) / 44.73 = 1825.1 / 44.73 = ~40.8 ml/kg/min

Summary of Estimates

Method	VO2 Max Estimate
Heart Rate (Uth-Sorensen, HRrest=60)	~49.7 ml/kg/min
Pace-based (Daniels, fractional util.)	~36.6 ml/kg/min
Cooper Equivalent	~40.8 ml/kg/min
Practical Range	~40 - 50 ml/kg/min

Where Do You Stand? (Male, 31-35)

Category	VO2 Max Range
Poor	< 35
Fair	35 - 40
Good	40 - 45
Excellent	45 - 51
Superior	> 51

Based on the combined estimates, your VO2 max is likely in the Good to Excellent range (40-50 ml/kg/min). The HR-based method skews higher because the 10-minute run duration causes cardiac drift (HR keeps climbing even as pace stays constant), inflating the HR-to-effort ratio.

Key Caveat

The most accurate field estimate for your profile would come from a 20-minute sustained effort at max pace (VDOT test) or a formal lab test. Your 199 BPM at only 5'08"/km pace suggests either:

This was a short sprint effort where HR hadn't fully settled, OR
Your running economy has room to improve (high HR for the pace)

A best estimate for your VO2 max: ~42-47 ml/kg/min - solidly in the "Good" to "Excellent" category for your age group.

What's your resting heart rate for a more accurate calculation?

Asking for Preferences

A resting HR below 50 BPM is a strong sign of cardiovascular fitness. I'll use 47 BPM as a representative midpoint for "below 50" - if you know your exact number, the formula scales linearly.

Revised VO2 Max - Uth-Sorensen Formula

VO2 max = 15 × (HRmax / HRrest)

Using:

HRmax = 199 BPM (from your run)
HRrest = 47 BPM (below 50, using 47 as estimate)

VO2 max = 15 × (199 / 47) = 15 × 4.234 = 63.5 ml/kg/min

Sensitivity by exact resting HR:

Resting HR	VO2 Max
44 BPM	67.8 ml/kg/min
45 BPM	66.3 ml/kg/min
46 BPM	64.9 ml/kg/min
47 BPM (used)	63.5 ml/kg/min
48 BPM	62.2 ml/kg/min
49 BPM	60.9 ml/kg/min

Updated Rating (Male, 31-35)

Category	VO2 Max Range
Good	40 - 45
Excellent	45 - 51
Superior	51 - 60
Elite	> 60

Your revised estimate of ~63.5 ml/kg/min places you in the Elite category - top ~5% for your age and sex. This aligns well with your resting HR below 50, which is itself a hallmark of a well-trained cardiovascular system.

Reconciling the Three Methods

Method	VO2 Max
Uth-Sorensen (HR-based, updated)	63.5 ml/kg/min
Cooper Equivalent	~40.8 ml/kg/min
Daniels Pace-based	~36.6 ml/kg/min

The HR-based method gives the highest result, which makes sense given your exceptionally low resting HR. The pace-based methods give lower figures because your 2km effort was short - HR spikes fast but pace stays moderate in a 10-minute run, making pace-based VO2 max underestimate your true ceiling.

Bottom line: Your VO2 max is most likely in the 55-64 ml/kg/min range. The Uth-Sorensen formula is the most validated for trained individuals and best fits your profile. For a precise number, a 20-minute all-out time trial or lab test would nail it down.

My resting heart rate in morning 48 bpm

VO2 Max - Final Calculation

Using your exact numbers:

HRmax = 199 BPM (from your run)
HRrest = 48 BPM (your morning measurement)

VO2 max = 15 × (199 / 48) = 15 × 4.146 = 62.2 ml/kg/min

Your Result: 62.2 ml/kg/min 🏃

Category	Range	Your Status
Poor	< 35
Fair	35 - 40
Good	40 - 45
Excellent	45 - 51
Superior	51 - 60
Elite	> 60	✓ You are here

What This Means

You're in the top ~5% for males aged 31-35
A VO2 max of 62+ is comparable to competitive club-level runners and endurance athletes
For reference, recreational runners typically sit at 45-55, and elite marathon runners are 70-80+
Your resting HR of 48 BPM independently confirms strong cardiovascular adaptation

To Improve Further

Interval training (VO2 max intervals): 4-6 min hard efforts at ~95% max HR with equal rest
Easy aerobic volume: More km at low HR (under 145 BPM) builds aerobic base
A formal lab or 20-min time trial test would confirm this estimate with greater precision

In Apple Watch it’s showing 41 before this run Aftr this run 39

Great data point. Here's what's going on:

Apple Watch vs. Calculated - Comparison

Source	VO2 Max
Apple Watch (before run)	41 ml/kg/min
Apple Watch (after run)	39 ml/kg/min
Uth-Sorensen formula (your data)	62.2 ml/kg/min

Why the Big Gap?

Apple Watch likely underestimates for trained athletes - and here's why:

Short run duration: Apple Watch needs at least 20+ minutes of outdoor running with GPS + HR data to make a reliable estimate. Your run was only 10:21 - right at the edge of its minimum threshold.
High HR relative to pace: Watch algorithms expect a certain pace-to-HR ratio. Your HR hit 199 BPM at a 5'08"/km pace - the algorithm interprets this as "inefficient runner" and outputs a low VO2 max. In reality, your HR spiked because the effort was short and maximal.
Apple's algorithm is conservative by design - it's calibrated for the general population, not trained athletes with low resting HRs.
Drop from 41 to 39 after the run - a hard, short effort with a very high HR temporarily skews the Apple model downward. It will likely recover and trend up over subsequent easier runs.

Which Number to Trust?

Method	Reliability for You
Apple Watch (39-41)	Underestimate - short run, high HR misread
Uth-Sorensen (62.2)	More reliable given your low resting HR of 48
True value (estimated)	~55-63 ml/kg/min

The honest answer: Your true VO2 max is almost certainly well above 41. Apple Watch will give you a better reading after a 20-30 minute easy-to-moderate run where your HR is steady and proportional to your pace. That lets the algorithm see your real aerobic efficiency.

For now, ~58-62 ml/kg/min is the most defensible estimate based on your resting HR, max HR, and fitness indicators.

What You Did Well ✅

Progressive overload on DB Press (5→7→10 kg) - textbook warm-up pyramid
High push-up volume (260 reps) builds chest endurance and motor unit recruitment
Multiple chest angles covered - incline, flat, fly - good for full pec development
Triceps well targeted from two angles (overhead extension + dips)
Core work bookended - crunches + plank is a solid combo
Cardio warm-up with jumping jacks primes the cardiovascular system before lifting

Areas to Improve / Gaps 🔧

Gap	Recommendation
No pull movement	Zero rows, pull-ups, or band pulls - this session is entirely push. Over time this creates anterior shoulder dominance and posture issues. Add band rows or resistance band pull-aparts.
No shoulder isolation	Lateral raises or overhead press would round out the upper body.
No bicep work	Minor gap since this is push day, but worth noting if this is your only upper body session.
Plank at the end	Core is fresh at the start - consider placing planks before push-ups for better quality. Or keep at end if using as a burnout.
DB weights are light	10 kg DB press for 3×12 is good endurance work but for hypertrophy/strength you'd want to push closer to failure. If 12 reps feels easy, increase to 12.5-15 kg.
Band fly resistance	25 kg band fly for 15 reps is solid - verify the band calibration is accurate (band resistance varies by stretch angle).

Session Rating

Dimension	Score
Volume	9/10 - very high
Intensity	6/10 - moderate (weights are light)
Balance	5/10 - push-heavy, no pulling
Exercise selection	8/10 - good variety within push
Core work	7/10 - adequate
Overall	7/10

Bottom Line

A solid, high-volume push session - great for muscular endurance and hypertrophy at your current weight range. The main thing holding it back is the complete absence of pulling movements. Add 3 sets of band rows or inverted rows either at the end or on your next session to balance the anterior/posterior load on your shoulder joint. Over weeks of push-only training, rotator cuff strain and rounded posture become real risks.

Progressive Overload Rules (Key to Hypertrophy)

Week	Target
Week 1-2	Hit all reps with good form at current weight
Week 3	If you complete all sets cleanly, increase weight by 1-2 kg
Week 4	Deload - reduce sets by 1, same weight
Week 5+	Repeat cycle at new weight

Weight Recommendations (Based on Your Current Lifts)

Exercise	Starting Weight
DB Press / Row	10-12 kg
DB Fly / Rear Delt Fly	7-8 kg
DB Curl	8-10 kg
OH Triceps Extension	10 kg
Goblet Squat	12-15 kg
Romanian Deadlift	12-15 kg
Lateral Raise	5-7 kg

Bottom Line

This program directly addresses the gap in your current training - your push work is strong, but pull and leg work were completely absent. With this 3-day split you'll hit every major muscle group twice per week (within the week's recovery), which is the sweet spot for hypertrophy at your fitness level. Combine with your running on off-days and you have a very complete program.

Key Notes

Day 1 → Day 2 back-to-back is fine - chest/triceps and back/biceps don't overlap, so no recovery issue
Always do band pull-aparts before Day 1 - non-negotiable for shoulder health given your high push volume
Legs on Day 3 (Thursday) gives full 48h rest from upper body before shoulders on Saturday
Running fits naturally on Wednesday and Friday as active recovery without interfering with muscle growth

Can I get abs. By doing this exercise

Can You Get Abs From This Program?

Short answer: Yes - but abs are 80% diet, 20% training.

What the Program Already Does for Abs

Your Day 4 core work is solid:

Plank - builds deep transverse abdominis (the "wall" that makes abs pop)
Oblique Crunches - carves the side V-lines
Bicycle Crunches - hits rectus abdominis + obliques together
Dead Bug - builds anti-rotation core stability
Hollow Body Hold - full core tension

Plus every compound lift in the program (rows, RDL, overhead press, goblet squat) forces your core to brace isometrically - that's free ab training on top of Day 4.

The Real Equation

Visible Abs = Strong Core + Low Body Fat

You can have the strongest abs in the world - if there's fat covering them, you won't see them. This is the part most people miss.

Body Fat % (Male)	What You See
18-25%	No visible abs
14-17%	Faint outline when flexed
10-13%	Clear 4-pack, some definition
8-10%	Full 6-pack visible at rest
6-8%	8-pack, deep cuts (athletic/shredded)

3 Things That Will Actually Get You Abs

1. Calorie deficit (most important)

Eat 300-400 kcal below your maintenance daily
Don't crash diet - slow loss preserves the muscle you're building
Protein target: 1.8-2g per kg of bodyweight to hold muscle while losing fat

2. Your running (you're already doing this)

That 2km run you did today burns fat and keeps your heart healthy
Add 1-2 more runs per week at easy pace (under 145 BPM) for maximum fat burn
Longer, slower runs burn more fat than short hard ones

3. Consistency over 12-16 weeks

Abs don't appear in 2-3 weeks - expect 3-4 months of consistent training + diet

Should You Add More Ab Work?

Your current core routine on Day 4 is enough IF your diet is on point. But if you want to accelerate, add this 3-minute ab finisher at the end of Day 1 and Day 3 as well:

Exercise	Reps/Time
Crunches	20
Leg Raises	15
Plank	45s
Mountain Climbers	30 reps

That gives your abs 3x per week direct stimulus instead of once.

Bottom Line

Factor	Your Status
Core training	✅ Already solid in Day 4
Cardio	✅ Running regularly
Strength training	✅ 4-day program builds muscle
Diet	⚠️ This is the missing piece - abs live in the kitchen

The program will absolutely build a strong, thick core. Whether those abs are visible depends almost entirely on how clean your diet is. Fix the diet, keep running, stay consistent for 12-16 weeks - abs will show.

Food	Quantity	Protein	Carbs	Fats	Kcal
Besan chilla / moong dal chilla	3 pieces	18g	30g	6g	245
Egg bhurji (2 eggs)	1 serving	12g	2g	10g	145
Salad (cucumber, tomato, onion)	1 bowl	2g	8g	0g	40
Total		32g	40g	16g	430 kcal

Lower carbs at dinner since you're not training after. High protein supports overnight muscle repair.

Curd / Greek yogurt	100g	4-10g	50-80

Casein protein from curd digests slowly overnight - feeds muscles while you sleep.

Key Rules

DO:

✅ Eat protein in every single meal
✅ Drink 3-3.5 litres of water daily
✅ Eat carbs mostly before 4 PM (breakfast + lunch)
✅ Have your post-workout meal within 45 minutes
✅ Sleep 7-8 hours - this is when fat burning and muscle building actually happen

AVOID:

❌ Maida (white flour) - roti, bread, biscuits
❌ Fried snacks, namkeen, chips
❌ Sugary drinks - juice, chai with sugar, cold drinks
❌ Skipping meals - leads to muscle loss not fat loss
❌ Eating heavy carbs at dinner

On Rest Days

Drop pre-workout snack and reduce rice at lunch to 100g. Target ~1,800 kcal since you're not burning as much. Keep protein the same at 150g+.

What to Expect

Timeline	Result
Week 1-2	1-2 kg drop (mostly water weight)
Week 3-8	0.3-0.5 kg true fat loss per week
Week 8-16	Muscle definition starts appearing
Week 12-16	Visible ab outline if consistent

Stick to this for 12 weeks consistently alongside your 4-day program and running - you will see a significant body recomposition.

Add one scoop whey also make for a week
