Alexis Arguello always trained at altitude. He finished a lot of his biggest fights (Olivares, Escalera, Mancini, Limon...) in the later rounds, in the days of 15-rounders

The jury is out on there use, but nothing too bad. Overall I have my doubts long term.

What does that do then? Does the mask restrict the intake of breath? Does the body create more red blood cells in response? Is there a regulator etc? Cheers.

That's a world war 2 gas mask. They'll tell you anything these days.

Restricts the airflow ie making ur lungs stronger making it harder to train!

Thanks

Arnie, we use these as well as the masks in MMA. But this doesn't make your napper overheat and it's cheaper

Looks Good just checked it up will have to get one of them

To be fair, a snorkel, nose plug and masking tape is virtually the same concept.

But you look a right dick on a treadmill

Anyone who has run with a respirator on knows how bloody hard it is, good work Mr Farnell!!

I remember seeing that. I think it was in the build-up to his UFC comeback fight against Chuck Liddell. I remember it mentioning him relocating with his family to vegas and training super hard with the best team money could buy.

Yep. It was the Countdown show. But for his fight with Keith Jardine I think. His Wand Fight Team were monitoring his lactic acid levels and it showed him doing stair drills twice a day with ice bath cycles afterwards.

Here's a vid of what it's like.
