MM13 and I just received our elevation training masks today. Suckfest here we come...
Anyone else on here have one or ever used one?
How about training or living at a High Altitude?

I personally don't buy into them really. What they offer isn't correct. Guys try using them in the mma world...Quote:

No experience, but I can see the benifit for sure. It will be a tuff workout. Ive lived @ elevation of 5600 for a while, and believe me you felt it.
30 minutes At 3000 ft elevation. No worries. Took a 2hr break. Adjusted it to 6000ft... Hit the 20 minute mark and I was gasping for air. Wow...
Keep updates on it. Also be interested in knowing if it does increase red blood cell count, guessing no.Quote:

We use to hike up 11,500 in the town I used to live to snowboard and I would have to take lots of breaks.
yes I have one and it works really good....I use the red knob....for me doing cardio with it on isnt the hard part....dont get me wrong its turf....but u REALLY get your moneys worth when u resistance train....I've had mine for about 2-3 yrs...got it for xmas

Hit 45 minutes today at 6000 ft elevation. First 20 was rough but I was fine after that. Haven't trained with it on yet. So far I'm just doing chores around the house.
Once I took it off, I could breath so much better. It was amazing.
a few lads have them at my mma gym, I have read a little on them and what i gather from it is, they are best used when not training......i.e for a good few hours when your sitting on the couch or when a sleep ( I know it isn't really possible unless you are out on your back and don't move lol) basically like oxygen deprivation tents.........
I wear mine sometimes around the house just for the hell of it....looks like im a doomsday prepper lol

Misery. I like you and your wife but for the life is me I can'r ever say this is a purchase I would have even thought to buy. What do you expect to gain from this? Better oxygen exchange? I know folks who are training to climb mt Everest may benefit and use chambers to train in prior to the climb. is this on your future???Quote:

Better oxygen exchange, make my training harder, hikes easier... I just like to try out new training ideas and methods. Thank you for looking in on The Misery's.Quote:
