$207k for winning. Good grief that's a lot of scratch for being the best at working out.
Good for him though, that dude is seriously a beast. I wonder what he could do at a "real" sport.
I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.
Bmack now endorsing training masks.
Keep in mind this is the same gooroo that used to endorse magic bottled water because it hydrates you better.
He talks a lot about working with all these various athletes. Does anyone really have a list of competitive athletes that do CrossFit?
Since when does "working with" someone make you legitimate? Show me that your training program is the reason for your athlete's improvements and I'll believe it.
Also, the training mask has nothing to do with altitude training, and I don't think that this guy has any experience in altitude training.
Hey, let's talk about this a minute. These masks aren't scrubbing oxygen out of the air, correct? They're restricting the volume of air you're breathing in or I guess making it harder to draw air into your lung? So this doesn't make much sense to me. Why would you inhibit your ability to train under the best conditions possible? I'm just asking.

i think this devices are supposed to help you strengthen your diaphragm (or the muscles that move your diaphragm) so you can move more air into and out of your lungs.
that's different from the high-strength diaphragm a chick needs when a stud like andy puts the wood to her

To make $$$, duh.
Strapping a used sock to your face will have similar effect, neither of which simulate altitude training.
Training at altitude is only needed if you are competing at altitude. It makes your training shittier all around, just lets know what to anticipate on race day. Now living at altitude...that's the shit.

In fact, living at high altitude and training at low altitude is supposed to be the shit among the shit--you know, exactly the opposite of what these guys are trying to simulate.
Diaphragm fatigue can play a part in endurance failure. And pregnancy. But, that can be trained the same way you train for endurance. Long steady distance. Only long steady distance improves everything else as well. As far as the pregnancy thing, well, that's a mechanical failure.

Resisted breathing, restricted breathing and hypoxic breathing all have some support to be beneficial for improving breathing muslces or oxygen uptake. However, breathing through a straw isn't sexy enough for Instagram so masks are more popular. There are a few Intermittent Hypoxic Training devices on the market that purport to do this but the masks in the video aren't such a device because even if you look real cool, you are still breathing the same air that everybody else is. If you took the mask to your summer cabin in Colorado and wore it then returned to sea level, you could see some benefit. However, you could do the same without the mask.

What's incredible is that anyone would be jumping around happy after it being allowed. It just highlights the lack of standards and inconsistency of judging really. In their defense, someone will bring up hitching at SM contests no doubt...
