Opinions on Altitude training masks and Test/EQ cycle

[FL1025]

I was having a discussion with Tx about this and wanted to get everyone's opinion on using an Altitude training mask during a test/eq cycle for increased endurance...Thoughts? And how would you structure your training?

great for endurance training, no use for bodybuilders/powelifters

Bro just close your mouth and breath only through your nose while doing cardio. Same thing. In the army we just ran long distance with mouth guards in whole time. Just gets you used to having less oxygen. It does not simulate high altitude though.

Not to mention you look like a fuckin TOOL wearing one at the gym!!!

lmao, hey try it out I personally wouldn't wear one, but I see folks that do, I just don't know physiologically that it can really replicate altitude you get less oxygen sure but im pretty sure at altitude your lungs are smaller. almost like diving the pressure collapses your lungs so to speak.

If somebody is seriously into endurance training, maybe they have their place. I don't know exactly. I know I personally don't want to use them. If I want better endurance, for me it's GW and SR9009

Yea obviously I wouldn't t think just benching and doing bodybuilding training it would be beneficial. Just looking for users who mayve used them before, how they incorporated their training with it and what effects they saw. Obviously you would look retarted walking around with it on.

How you look is pointless, we're not @ the gym for a fashion show.

This thing has no place in the bodybuilding world. Bowflex, ab roller, Planet Fitness, etc........if someone is training to climb Mt. Everest then we have a different conversation.

Yea man I'm not talking about for bodybuilding purposes, in the original post I said I was curious to see if anyone has actually used one and what the endurance increase was if any.
