An elevated HR is normal after a heavy volume day. It is part of the recovery process, and the way the body perfuses the fatigued tissue. You'll be fine.

Heart rate is high even a few hours after volume days...
Will try not to BS too much,
Lately volume days are becoming heavier (5X5X375) and longer, hence why I am doing a split routine.
The last couple of weeks I've noticed that my heart rate won't drop to the 60-90 area even 2-3 few hours after a stertorous squat session(usually 100-120, even with minimal physical effort)
I am used to the aftermath of V-day for 60-90 minutes but it has doubled in the last 2 months(made some good progress)
Is there any concern here? do I need to start some specific conditioning?

P.S
I am usually taking 200-300mg of caffeine before some workouts(usually once a week or twice out of 4 total workouts)- symptoms are true without the caffeine as well
