It's different for everybody, yup. The best way to determine your real maximum HR is a clinically supervised VO2 max test.
220 minus my age puts me at 174... yet my VO2max test puts me at 204. When I cycle I regularly hit the mid 190's during hill climbs topping 14% grades...
It's important to know your REAL maximum, because otherwise your zone calculations are totally wonky... People think at my age I'm anaerobic above 160bpm, and I'm actually at my best for performance/endurance there.
Conservative is a good word if you are using this equation. I do like to focus on monitoring heart rate during training though. Thanks Paul! Keep the tips coming.
