Joe, Good point. Suffocating does not simulate altitude, obviously you would pass out before that. Anything that restricts oxygen intake can be considered and tool to train for oxygen deprivation. So if you could do “Cindy”=5 pull ups, 10 push ups, 15 squats for 20 rounds in 20 min. with the mask, then you would see that number of rounds drop with the mask “More than likely” When you can complete the same amount of rounds with the mask that you did without it, then we see an improvement in your fitness. You are more than welcome to come and try it out, Hell, I will even do it with you. Remember, you are guilty until proven innocent.

For some reason I don’t think that suffocating yourself simulates altitude. If it did, people would spend the big bucks on altitude tents.

What’s up Scott!? Love the Oxygen Deprivation Training. Very awesome. I just did Fran a couple days ago. New PR. 4:07. Previous time was 5:06 which I did at the cert in May. Been on the zone for a month and a half now and it’s definitely showing. I’m gunning for your time brother. haha. 3:45? I’ll keep you updated.

Good workouts today - it was all I could to do keep up with Scott on his bank robbery workout, even though I had 40lbs less on the deadlift, did cheater muscle-ups and wasn’t wearing a weight vest (although to be fair, that at least got him within 10lbs of what I weigh).
