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...Originally Posted by Misery13

Well I'm going to test it out and see for myself.

Wanderlei Silva is using it during MMA workouts.

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.

Will do.

So that's what that is. I had been pondering why it sounded like dearth vader was training around the corner from me a few weeks back, and couldn't really devise a lot of reason behind it. Now I'm interested to see how it goes!

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.

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.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference
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???

I figured that's what those were. I saw a guy at the gym with one on. It was close to when the last Batman came out, so I thought he was just really into the Bane character.

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.
