| Just discovered this product Bas Ruten's o2 trainer while watching a video on youtube about palm strikes. If you're too lazy to watch the video, its a device you put in your mouth that has these interchangable ports that have different sized holes. When you exhale there's no resistance, but when you inhale the resistance is determined by the size of the hole.. so you can strengthen your lung capacity or some such by using it when you work out. For 50 bucks I think I'm gonna give it a shot. |

Quoted:
There is a reason the Olympic Training Center is in Colorado Springs. Yes, it's because there's a lower partial pressure of oxygen at that altitude, causing increased hemoglobin levels to compensate. This gadget is an entirely different mechanism that increases the work of breathing by creating an intermittent airway obstruction. At normal atmospheric pressures, oxygen diffuses much more rapidly than CO2, and artificially reducing airway inflow will not significantly change oxygenation. Inspiratory obstruction will increase work of breathing, but it's generally not inhalation muscle weakness that limits our endurance. |

Fuck that. I don't like restricted air flow. First time I put on a gas mask.... Well lets just say I felt a little bit panicked. It take some getting use to. Why not just buy a good respirator from lowes or home depot? It would do the same thing and you could use it for paint or shop stuff. |

Quoted:
There is a reason the Olympic Training Center is in Colorado Springs. And it's because the benefits from being high where the partial pressure of O2 is lower come from being there all the time, not just during limited workout time. Actually, since altitude and reduced O2 limit the amount of work one can do, you would be better off training low where you can work harder and sleeping high so your body will increase RBC production. Those stupid masks don't do anything except limit how hard you can go. Why not just run faster, punch harder/faster, etc? Fools (looking for a shortcut) and their money... |

I tried to explain this to some young Marines wearing those stupid masks at the base gym. Their answer was " it makes it harder so it must be better"  .
