Seen It All?

[shizz]

Just when I thought I seen it all in the gym. I walk into my gym today and there is a guy on exercise bike w/ a gas mask on. LMAO WTF?

Correct, it simulates high altitude training. His body will utilize oxygen better.

LOL yea, I consider the pervs to be the guys who work out w/ sun glasses on. I think you may be right about the fighter theory. Maybe it has something to do with increasing stamina by getting the higher elevation effect from lack of air or sumthn.

who knows, maybe he is just a freak! lol

100% Correct. He could be a fighter, cycler, or runner getting ready for something high altitude.

At lower altitudes he will have more stamina as well due to his training being simulated at a higher altitude.

I use this trick when I am planning a high altitude climb since I live where it is primarily flat. I will use this trick for a couple months before tackling Everest (2014 is the goal!)

I am tackling Everest next year bro. See you at the top...or maybe you may see me frozen at camp 4...depending on how my luck holds out. What team are you going with?

LOL, no worries, just thought maybe I missed something since MMA training constantly changes and advances.

I have actually contemplated this....but to be honest going for a run with this bad boy on may cause more of a panic than I care to do.

 

[Bullseye Forever]

sounds interesting,never seen that before

I am going with alpine ascents. I did Denali with them. Good peeps.

Godspeed man. See you at the summit!

Maybe someone had just cut a horrific fart.

Alot of our EOD guys run with their gas masks on. But, I have yet to see it in the gym.
