No and I really have no interest in doing so. I have different fitness goals than a distance runner.salto;1605839 wrote:BR I have a question. Have you ever monitored your resting heart rate as part of your training program?
Yes, those who run for hours on end might have a very nice resting heart rate but they are also most likely skinny fat and not in very good aesthetic "shape." Pounding your body on the pavement for long periods of time is going to raise that cortisol though the roof. Add to that the fact that distance runners feel that need to "carb up" and you have the perfect recipe for that desirable skinny fat physique. -

Salto=said. Said just uses his brothers account because he was permabanned.
Anyway sprinting would also bring down your resting heart rate anyway. -

Too much work. Even when I was gone I had no desire, or energy, to create a ghost account. Said posts over on Yappi and actually isn't as douchey over there.like_that;1605867 wrote:Since you haven't been around for awhile...

Very true. OC is full of douches and peoples alter egos.BR1986FB;1605868 wrote:Said posts over on Yappi and actually isn't as douchey over there.
No matter what sort of workouts are being done, tracking ones RHR is a way to monitor overall fitness and if improvements.BR1986FB wrote:I have different fitness goals than a distance runner.
Also tracking RHR can be a notifier if becoming sick. -

Has anyone ever used an altitude mask? What did you think?

I've seen them a few times at my old gym. A few of the MMA guys used them when training or occasionally someone will have one on doing cardio.
I get the point, but...fuck that. -

Yeah I remember watching Wanderlei Silva on a training special create his own mask. He taped a boxing helmet to his head, taped his nostrils and breathed thru a snorkel lol.Automatik;1608014 wrote:I've seen them a few times at my old gym.

I guess it builds up lactic acid (to help improve recovery) and improves breathing. I was wondering if anyone else gave it a try. -

Yes. It made breathing harder.
No evidence they actually benefit lung capacity or ones ability to use oxygen more efficiently.
Simple fact if you're at sea level, breathing sea level air (20.9% oxygen) through a restrictive device, the air coming through it and available to you is still going to be of 20.9% oxygen content.
*Claims by one mask manufacturer :
The mask creates pulmonary resistance. It is supposed to strengthen the diaphragm, increase the surface area and elasticity of the lung's alveoli and increase lung stamina. -
BR1986FBBumping this.
I wouldn't be a fan of the altitude mask. CPAP mask I have to use is bad enough. -
