Wernerh Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Does anyone have experience in training with an altitude mask?
V12man Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 It just makes it harder to breath in and out - does not change the relative oxygen concentration at all - so not really altitude training.....
travisza Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Put on your flame suit. havent tried one, just like I havent tried the ab machine that electrocutes my abs and gives me a six pack while I sit on the couch eating niknaks. I can't see how holding your breath during exercise of a couple hours is the same as spending weeks at altitude.
rudi-h Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 i'd say that in terms of useless things to buy, this is right up there with a powerband bracelet...
Stricker Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Every time I get on my IDT I use this Its amazing
rouxtjie Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Works well... PS get the darth vader model...
RocknRolla Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 the resistance valve is especially effecive...
travisza Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 the resistance valve is especially effecive...Its actually their patented fastening system that sets this product apart. Not all equivalent products hold firmly in place. OP: General opinion is that it's not a wise use of your cash. End of the year = sarcastic comments
IH8MUD Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Shoelace around the neck might also work as good . ..
raptor-22 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Restriction valve in front and a dump valve in the exhaust.hey presto suped up saxo
FootballingCyclist Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 We had these at soccer training for a week and tested them by running and doing different high intensity drills with them on... We may aswell have stuck a 2l coke bottle in out mouths, taped in on and just cut 1 or 2 small holes in it for breathing purposes.. Waste of money in my opinion...
tubed Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 if you sit at Bootlgegger in main road Kenilworth having your coffee and looking up at the mountain, at about 11am daily this fellow runs along main road with one of these devices on his face, he doesn't wear a shirt, all buff that he is - its all quite humorous actually, maybe in 10 years time he wont look like an idiot, but for now he continues to do so. By all means in a lab or on your IDT.

End of the year = sarcastic comments Not being sarcastic...the resistance valve clearly works.. as I have resited buying one of these masks. now, if I can only find a way of installing a resistance valve on my bank account....
SwissVan Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 By all means in a lab or on your IDT. My IDT can be quite sensitive and has feelings you know....
"Mechanic" Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 It doesn't improve oxygen levels, it does however make it harder for you to breathe, which in turn makes your lungs work harder making them stronger(which could help when not using the mask).
