Obviously your MHR is not 167; it's at least 180. If you didn't get to MHR, your other numbers are off. Did the tester stop you at 167 or did you stop yourself? If the tester stopped you based on an age based formula, you should demand your money back and go see someone who knows what they're doing. If you stopped yourself, then you're right; you didn't push yourself hard enough.
