220-your age is total crap. When I did max testing the highest HR I ever saw was 207. And that guy was in phenomenal shape in his 30's.
Your maximum heart rate is not the absolute maximum you can achieve. It's the maximum that you can safely achieve.
If you spend more than a few minutes (like 10-15) above your max heart rate, I'm quite sure you'll produce cardiac ischemia. This is why many marathoners have positive troponins after a race. (Troponin is one of the serum markers of cardiac damage.)

182 and I can safely keep it there for about 2 minuets or so before I want to die. I'm 32.

what the wanting to die part?
No, for real...ever since I started working out harder (HIIT) I get it way up there for awhile and then back down to active resting range.the_alcatraz said:what the wanting to die part?
The wanting to die part is actually this: achy gums, a stitch in my side (on treadmill I don't get this on bike), also, when I get it up to the 180's my forarms and whole body sweats not just normal sweatiness. I hate the talk test. My GF always tries to talk to me and I cannot do it when in the zone. I wish she understood. She has her magazines though

Its a guideline you should use based on your goals. So take 220 and minus your age, that is your max heart rate. You then take a % of that based on what you want to accomplish (fat burn, endurance, etc) and that will give you the optimal heart rate in which you'll get the most benefit from your workouts.
It's a guideline, not an individual maximum rate. If you look at 100 people, 95 (two standard deviations) will have a maximum heart rate of 220 - age as determined by exercise testing.biteme said:
