The other day used my brother Ithlete app. Pretty cool. Basically a cheap man's OMEGAWAVE substitute. What it does is gives u a reading of" readiness" by giving resting heart rate and most importantly Heart Rate Variability(HRV)

pretty cool, as i mentioned above, one of the main functions of an OMEGAWAVE is measuring HRV.(think mine was 72 that day, below 50 is an indicator recovery is needed)

obviously this isnt something that is a MUST in training, but IMO definitely a valuable asset
as my brother phrased it "it tells me whether i feel sluggish and not like working out because I am worn out and not fit to train, or simply because I am being lazy"

I think totally cost is 60 dollars or so (not including heart rate monitor) 50 for equipment for iphone/ipad +10 for actual APP

more cool APPS out there everyday

heres the info about it http://www.myithlete.com/ithlete-lowdown/

truth..and knowing when to push it and get them PR's is key

better spent 60$ than one months worth of protein and NO-explode or whatever else a lot of people spend money on

Sounds fun, but not something I would use. I go by feel and dont need a tool to measure for me.

nice..but using a tool+your own feelings can give you a far better read than simply just using your own feelings

Not in my opinion. If you think so thats cool. But I think to many things factor in on your readiness to train, so a measurement of HR is not very important if you ask me.
 
BUT, Im not 100% sure what HR availability is, so I could easily be wrong. Non the less, I would not use a tool like that anyways. I go by feel on my training and it has not let me down so far.

i agree too but HRV is not equal to Heart Rate and is a much better indicator than HR.  Heck it is one of the best indicators the famed omegawave gives you.  Still going to find out more about it as I still am not sure what HRV even truly is or tells. More to come
