I believe there was some research that showed doing resistance breathing exercises lowered blood pressure. Wish you had checked blood pressure before the experiment, during and after
This motivated me to immediately buy an altitude training mask, and the results have been awesome. From August 2021 to June 2022 my mile time went from 6:54 to 6:22. In July I watched your video and bought my mask, and today I hit 5:59! 7.7% improvement in 10 months without mask -> 6% improvement in 4 weeks with the mask!
@@WhatSubYT I initially tried wearing it an hour a day, but I stopped after 45 minutes on the first day. Instead, I wore it 15 minutes during low-intensity cardio, 3x per week - so 45 minutes total per week. I would *not* recommend using it for high-intensity cardio. And what I mean by that is if I run at 5.5 mph on the treadmill, my heart rate is about 120-130 bpm and it feels like a 6 out of 10 difficulty. If I run at 9.5 mph on the treadmill, my heart rate is about 160-175 bpm and it feels like 8.5-9.5 out of 10 difficulty. If you put the mask on, at 5.5 mph my heart rate is about 125-135 but it feels like a 9 difficulty, and if I run at 9.5... I have to jump off after 30 seconds because I can't breathe! So it kinda turns low-intensity cardio into high-intensity cardio for your respiratory muscles, but it's still low-intensity cardio as far as your heart is concerned.
Same! i want to buy one after this video and really start to care about my physical instead of my weight being up and down and unhealthy. could you tell me which one you got and maybe aadd my discord or instagram and send me a link?
I started using one back in 2013. Used an inhaler everyday twice a day. Starting using that mask and went to the doctor one day and he asked if I was still using my inhaler and said no haven’t really needed it. doctor was amazed my asthma was gone. Bought it for bmx training and cured myself of asthma.
@@kevinhagensieker8324 the increased strength of the lungs is making up for the assuma but it is not a cure as once you stop training it chould return.
The thing with the altititude method is is that it certainly does help with creating more red blood cells and when you come to a lower altitude you certainly are stronger than beforehand. This is very temporary however, your body eventually realizes there is a lot more oxygen in the air and stops creating as much blood cells.
@@adultdeleted Also wear a weight west and ankle + wrist weights 24/7. Then when you get into a fight just take it off and proceed to whoop their asses in light speed.
Pigmie loved that you tried this challenge I use a mask at 20000 elevation myself for spartan races. The trick I learned was to use it on your max days and build from there when comes to lifting. When I took the mask off got more reps even move up in weight. I would work out in the heat with it to increase intensity even the sauna and my endurance and strength allowed me to take over my gym
Bro i had something similar to this happen, i did two weeks in a row of the Wim Hof breathing sessions daily, also did one before the run. Then i got my first ever 5k with no prior training at all. Breathing deeply felt amazing, i can literally feel the ends of my lungs working.
"Oh you think the altitude is your ally? But you merely adopted the highness. I was born in it. Molded by it" Honestly tho 8 min mile time is pretty good. Especially with all the muscle you have
So good to finally see u getting good views. Your content has been some of my favourite videos over the past few months. I’m happy to see you’re getting the views u deserve for the amount of effort you put into this channel.
I tried the mask specifically for runs for Summer training awhile back, and I was told if You're using it during Your runs alone, it won't benifit You; however, I really appreciate Pigmies idea where it helps the muscles to make breathing more effortless. It's tough to really know how to get the most out of it, but I do still believe there are some benifits to be siezed. Then again, everyone is different, sometimes during actual team practice and races, I felt like I had an edge to fly past everyone because I trained alone with the mask. Who knows, maybe the mental muscle is impacted here too! So much we really cannot say for sure
Most of the adaptations are most likely just from the training rather than the mask. Changing how you breath is mostly a mental component then a physical one. To benefit from the mask, you would have to wear it 24/7 for an extended period of time.
DUDE! This might be your best video yet! Or at least the one I am most impressed by! I've played around a bit with respiratory muscle training tools, like Bas Rutten's O2Max Trainer, and have seen modest improvements. But I was literally only using it a total of 20 minutes per week. But your improvement on the mile is motivating me to try it out for an hour of casual use per day + the first 10 minutes of my cardio workouts. Btw, your original mile time is roughly equivalent to a Vo2Max of 48 ml/kg/min while your new mile time is roughly equivalent to 53 ml/kg/min!! That's a *huge* difference. Congratulations!
4-week update: Bought a mask, wore it casually for 45 mins ONCE and decided I didn't like it. But I've worn it for the last 15 minutes of most of my cardio workouts. So out of the 16 hours of cardio that I did during the past four weeks, about 4 hours were using the mask. My estimated Vo2Max has gone up from 48 to 52! For the record, it took me 10 months to go from 43 to 48. So I've made a similar amount of progress in 4 weeks compared to the past 10 months!!!!
The need to breathe comes from co2 building up not the lack of o2. And those pushups and pull ups are done by muscle groups that work anaerobic so it doesn't do that much. Might help with recovery. And if you are a mouth breather try taping/holding the skin on the sides of your nose outwards to pull your nasal openings apart. If that already helps (significantly) then you might want to see a doctor about corrective surgery.
do a test again after a few weeks. Apparently if u stop using the mask your body will go back to "normal". ( with "normal" i mean the oxygen capacity and stuff )
Amazing content I use a breathing mask since 2018 and I also see improvements. Thanks for trying all those things out that I always was curious about. Keep it up
I think it also improves the mood since you can exhale more oxygen (Especially with a healthy fresh air far away from midtowns and so on) In other words you will end up less stressful and more happier and logical even.
So from a respiratory therapy perspective, you can already emulate this at home by breathing through your nose. It's resistance breathing training, and it improved the muscular function of your diaphragm, as well as helps open up your lower airways. To many people breath through their mouths, making them weaker later in their lives. VO2 max is a significant contributor for over all standing health, and those who live active life styles have a high VO2 max, thusly have a lower mortality rate over all.
Wow! Pigme just single-handedly proved that mask-wearing is healthy in more than one way and that powering through is worth it. (Well, and the millions of doctors and nurses that wear masks all day every day. There's that.)
Doctors and nurses change their masks every few minutes to prevent getting bacteria infections. Masks stop bacteria, not viruses that are air born, your still getting oxygen, so viruses can pass through , unless it's a certain type of mask. As for a surgical mask, they are great for their purpose and if used right, which means changing every 15-45 minutes maximum. They clog and get wet from your body moisture in your breath, so you can make yourself sick. I am not anti-mask at all. Just understand the purpose and which does which. Knowledge is power, cloth masks are garbage for use outdoors and for more then 15 minutes you risk lung Infection. All this information is available at the cdc and who websites. Or it's also on the boxes for these masks. As for the mask he is using , theh work if used right and cleaned properly. Everything is useful if used properly.
I love your videos. Thanks for all the dedication and work that goes into them, and for the humor! Can I ask why you wear a hoodie while running? Is it just the cool weather?
Hey thanks! And yes, usually I like to stay really warm when I train. but I think actually from the sauna suit experiment I got even a little more used to the heat lol.
When it comes to firefighter fitness I love using this at the gym during my cardio sessions helps me practice breathing control while under stress so I don't run out of gas too quickly or suck down a bottle of air too quickly
about 2 days ago i just came back from my 14 day philmont trek in new mexico for boyscouts. There was basically not a day that i wasnt above 6000ft in elevation and i had to climb mountains that went up to 11000ft in elevation. And as u said the less oxygen in the air made it really hard for me to climb the mountains and i had a hard time breathing but surprisingly we were the fastest crew this entire summer season
I've used similar products and done some research on the subject, these air restricting mask/devices don't really simulate high altitude. Being in high altitude means the air is thinner and that means when you breath your getting less oxygen/air when breathe regularly. So your body has to adjust to less oxygen/air available by learning to breathe harder. Using these mask is more like inducing asthma symptoms. These mask are restricting your airflow. Essentially its making your airflow passages smaller similar to someone squeezing a tube, it's decreasing the amount of air that can get through. That being said being in high altitude or using a mask/device cause you to increase your lung power either way. Your lung strength increases whether being in high altitude or using an air restriction mask/device because your lungs have work harder to attain air or oxygen. So training in high altitude or using an air restriction mask/device increase your lung strength in different ways. So they attain similar results but in different ways.
Makes sense, you're still getting the same ratio of oxygen in the atmosphere albeit it in a more forceful breath. It trains you to breathe harder i guess
Thanks for the info man!! Question, as someone with asthma, would you recommend them to do this? I have slight asthma that doesn’t seriously affect me unless I’m doing intense cardio workouts and I tend to run out of air insanely quickly compared to most other people. For instance playing a full court game of basketball makes me insanely out of breath by the time that we reach the halfway point.
Hey! I have been watching your videos for a really long time. You have inspired me to start flipping a long time ago and i recently have been working on my physical health more thanks to you! Thanks to you, I have become more inspired to be more healthy and enjoy life. Your vids and lifestyle mean a lot to me and I'd like to thank you.
The breathing he said was similar to apnea is actually really similar to how fighter pilots breathe when pulling high Gs. It's just a normal technique whereby you take short and sharp breaths because of the straining to breath.
next challenge, where a breathing mask at high altitude you breathe barely any air in and the air you do breathe wont have much oxygen in it ez gains (im not serious about him doing it cuz that would be realy hard on you and probably bad since you would get so little oxygen, but it would be interesting to see ppl already used to high altitude try it)
I bought one to use just while walking but only used it once because I'm not walking as part of my routine anymore. I felt stupid wearing it. If I ever get into walking again, I may use it. I lived in La Paz so I know what its like to live at altitude and this mask is not it. Like you said, it just teaches you to suck harder and maybe get less oxygen. It might be better to do exercise sets while holding your breath or apnea. I used to like walking up and down stairs holding my breath. I was into spearfishing back then. Thanks for your video.
Actually it’s more than that. Think about it. He actually got soreness in his chest area. The heart is a muscle. So using an altitude mask is resistance training for your heart. So yes, you can breathe stronger, but your heart also is actually getting stronger through “resistance” training.
You should try mouth taping for a week. There is so much benefit to it because it forces you to breathe out of your nose only. Opposed to this mask where you are sucking air in through your mouth. Would love to see that video!
as an asthmatic, everything you described just sounds like having asthma lol. mine is severe and triggered by the cold weather and physical activity. in grade school i would have to really push through running laps, and people would say that i looked purple after. part of it IS mental, but the physical part is no joke. thanks for yet another interesting video.
I used to run up stairs and run miles wearing my 40 lb vest. I'm no runner but I got down to 15 minutes for 3 miles. I wonder what could be achieved with a vest and a mask.
Not a runner but a 15 minute three mile? As an all state runner, I’ve got to say that sounds incredibly unlikely if it’s true you are basically an elite runner.
I didn't think much of it, because we were just C.S. students stretching our legs. It was a couple Turks, a couple vets and me. Tbf I was a swimmer (1.5 hours, 5 days weekly) in high school and I'm pretty sure I was overtraining with weights (2-3 hours daily). Switching to running 3 times weekly felt like I was taking it easy. Now I'm a mere bicycle-commuter and a dishwasher. Thank you. You've inspired me to start another running group.
why wouldn't you buy some cordless earbuds? I just got so used to wear galaxy buds+ with workout and feeling free movement that i feel those earbuds too restraining when i wear em
Cordless earbuds suck for me. They don't stay in my ears, and constantly slip out. I prefer earbuds with a cord so that I don't have to worry about losing them.
Sad part is if you read updated studies. Training normal, you can train harder and longer and sleeping for recovery in a high altitude chamber is where you get double sometimes almost triple the benefits of longer endurance and stamina than just training in high altitude.
I live about 4500 feet above sea level in the mountain west. One time, I had a layover in Florida and we played some basketball. I NEVER got winded. So yeah, altitude does make a difference. Not sure if your mask does, but altitude definitely does.
Recently I watched your video about wrist. So as a skinny guy with thin bones can I ask a video about making thicker leg's thinnest part over ankle joint ?
I wonder if this would be good for an MMA fight .. typically the week before the fight they don't train so you could just get your body used to altitude. when guys fight at altitude they will show up early to acclimatize
I remember when I first got this and had it on the hardest breathing cap and it felt normal turns out it’s cause I had such a low BPM my breathing was already very shallow so it didn’t affect me so much
when i wore scuba goggles on my face and did push-ups (dont ask why) , i observed that i basically did not feel most of the regular fatigue that came with it , it was one of those nose covering goggles , and it was rather tight on my face , so maybe the tightness made me focus on it rather than the muscular pain , like a scratch on an itch ? i dont know , but maybe he should try it out unless its actually a well known phenomenon that may be potentially harmful.
Can you do a challenge for your eyesight? Like staring at long distance for 30 min a day, everyday. I guess it takes more time to improve your eyesight, more than 7 days.
Elevation mask works like breathing through a straw Doesnt work like working in altitude Ive been using it since i got it 8 years ago For using it for a long you will have lower heartbeats pr min
I live in Lake Tahoe which is above 6000ft elevation I also noticed that when I do heavier lower body exercises I take more deep breaths. I thought I was crazy 😅 maybe I should go down to Sacramento and do heavy squats and see if I breathe as hard
My man how do you have over 2 mil subs but only have 6k likes and 364 comments, with all the work you put in you should have way better engagement hopefully it picks up. Good vid.👍🏻
Hey Pigmie thats not real altitude thats just resistance in real attitude there is less oxygen in the air. This is just resistance same oxygen levels in the air. Thank you, I love your videos!
Explosive exercises will probably be your friend. Clap push-ups, jump squats, box jumps, burpees, and some core workout to balance it like planks or hanging leg raises.
I once read about people who aclimated to high altitude having more red blood cells which makes me think of possibly causing high blood pressure. Just thinking
The body is more attuned to the levels of co2 in the blood than oxygen. It would be interesting to focus more on the exhale than the inhale. I bet someone could make a channel just redoing all of these as in reaponse video format lol. Ive seen the full plate armor fights and they do mention "helmet clearing" is important to get fresh air to breathe or that sense of panic really sets in from toxic co2
idk if this will work for a mask but whenever i have had an issue with plastic/silicon smell i have always soaked the object in vinegar for an hour and that has gotten rid of the smell for me. should try it on video and let us know if it works. i really dont want to get a training mask if i cant get rid of the fume smell.
"Don't underestimate me! Just where do you think I got my training anyway? The air was thinner on top of Mt. Sagiri!" Love to all of those who thought about Hamon and/or Total Contration Breathing
0:26 54 pushups 15 pullups TFW I can't do 1/8th of what this guy does but I can do much more pushups and pullups (my highscores are ~85 and ~25) Keep at it Pigmie, you're a king👑
I can do up to 15 pushups in a row, 20 if I push myself, and I've currently reached up to 9 pull-ups. I'm pretty proud of how much I'm able to do right now, cuz b4 I couldn't even do so much as 1 pushup or pull-up fully. I hope to continue making progress as I go on, though I haven't have many opportunities to do much exercise while in Nigeria with my dad, and I'm hoping my strength doesn't drop or anything.
id say you just trained hard broski :) interesting experiment. I'd love to hear about how you felt the week after. I'm sure your breaths would feel more full after a week of that compression
Makes sense that cardio was the biggest improvement, rather than the more muscle based exercises. Will be considering these for my runs!!

Hey! I have been watching your videos for a really long time. You have inspired me to start flipping a long time ago and i recently have been working on my physical health more thanks to you! Thanks to you, I have become more inspired to be more healthy and enjoy life. Your vids and lifestyle mean a lot to me and I'd like to thank you.
The TH-cam algorithm has truly blessed me with your channel!
Thanks bro, I've been wondering if it works as they say and had a hard time finding a good test.
thank you for being honest, its hard ti find people like you
The breathing he said was similar to apnea is actually really similar to how fighter pilots breathe when pulling high Gs. It's just a normal technique whereby you take short and sharp breaths because of the straining to breath.
next challenge, where a breathing mask at high altitude you breathe barely any air in and the air you do breathe wont have much oxygen in it ez gains
(im not serious about him doing it cuz that would be realy hard on you and probably bad since you would get so little oxygen, but it would be interesting to see ppl already used to high altitude try it)
No no, it makes sense. After he does that, he should use the altitude mask underwater so that he can become aquaman
its cool how hard you work to find new things to help us improve ourselves also where did you get the focused shirt your wearing at the end of the vid
I bought one to use just while walking but only used it once because I'm not walking as part of my routine anymore. I felt stupid wearing it. If I ever get into walking again, I may use it.
I lived in La Paz so I know what its like to live at altitude and this mask is not it. Like you said, it just teaches you to suck harder and maybe get less oxygen. It might be better to do exercise sets while holding your breath or apnea. I used to like walking up and down stairs holding my breath. I was into spearfishing back then.
Thanks for your video.
Actually it’s more than that. Think about it. He actually got soreness in his chest area. The heart is a muscle. So using an altitude mask is resistance training for your heart. So yes, you can breathe stronger, but your heart also is actually getting stronger through “resistance” training.
@@TacticalDimples the resistance isnt in the heart but the diaphragm pulling in and pushing out air from your lungs.
@@TacticalDimples No
You should try mouth taping for a week. There is so much benefit to it because it forces you to breathe out of your nose only. Opposed to this mask where you are sucking air in through your mouth. Would love to see that video!
Nasal breathing is the only way shown to improve all facets of physical improvement
“It’s like breathing is no resistance at all now” 😂 yes, that’s how normal breathing is suppose to be
pigmie bouta hit us with that thunder cross spit attack
as an asthmatic, everything you described just sounds like having asthma lol. mine is severe and triggered by the cold weather and physical activity. in grade school i would have to really push through running laps, and people would say that i looked purple after. part of it IS mental, but the physical part is no joke. thanks for yet another interesting video.
your work is appreciable 👍❤️
4:43 bro why do u hold it like that💀🙏
lmao
Monstrous grip
He forgor how to hold 💀
yooo🤣😭 His finger looked straight broken
Fun Fact: This type of training also highly improves your hamon
I used to run up stairs and run miles wearing my 40 lb vest. I'm no runner but I got down to 15 minutes for 3 miles. I wonder what could be achieved with a vest and a mask.
Not a runner but a 15 minute three mile? As an all state runner, I’ve got to say that sounds incredibly unlikely if it’s true you are basically an elite runner.
@@Nsham04 did u not hear what he said he ran with
@@monkevr5115 That doesn’t change the fact that 3 miles in 15 minutes is elite territory. For a “non runner” it’s just not realistic.
thats an unreal run time
I didn't think much of it, because we were just C.S. students stretching our legs. It was a couple Turks, a couple vets and me.
Tbf I was a swimmer (1.5 hours, 5 days weekly) in high school and I'm pretty sure I was overtraining with weights (2-3 hours daily). Switching to running 3 times weekly felt like I was taking it easy.
Now I'm a mere bicycle-commuter and a dishwasher. Thank you. You've inspired me to start another running group.
why wouldn't you buy some cordless earbuds? I just got so used to wear galaxy buds+ with workout and feeling free movement that i feel those earbuds too restraining when i wear em
Cordless earbuds suck for me. They don't stay in my ears, and constantly slip out. I prefer earbuds with a cord so that I don't have to worry about losing them.
Sad part is if you read updated studies. Training normal, you can train harder and longer and sleeping for recovery in a high altitude chamber is where you get double sometimes almost triple the benefits of longer endurance and stamina than just training in high altitude.
basically a weight vest for your lungs.
In Touch ministries. Good reading material choice. God bless!
Taking on the life of Darth Vader breathing like that
Bro my man’s time with the mask is still better than mine without one
Awesome training advices, thanks so much ❤
Great job making these challenges
I’m a wildland firefighter and we got sent to silver thorn Colorado and the elevation was 9 thousand ish and it was so hard to breathe and do pt
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain. This week we will be cruising at an altitude of about 3500 ft.
lower pressure might cause swelling when it's partial like this.
I live about 4500 feet above sea level in the mountain west. One time, I had a layover in Florida and we played some basketball. I NEVER got winded.
So yeah, altitude does make a difference. Not sure if your mask does, but altitude definitely does.
In my experience, breathing at high altitudes is super easy because the air is really thin. You just end up doing it *a lot* more
But at high altitude the pressure gradient is less between the outside and your lungs.
wow this must have been tough and could not do this myself for a while so thank you for the vid king
Your dedication is admirable.
Recently I watched your video about wrist. So as a skinny guy with thin bones can I ask a video about making thicker leg's thinnest part over ankle joint ?
I wonder if this would be good for an MMA fight .. typically the week before the fight they don't train so you could just get your body used to altitude. when guys fight at altitude they will show up early to acclimatize
Was thinking the same thing, let me know your results I may try this if it goes well
Can You Give Us The Name Of This Beautiful Music You Use In 7:49 - 9:40?
*obligatory Bane impression: appreciated*
I remember when I first got this and had it on the hardest breathing cap and it felt normal turns out it’s cause I had such a low BPM my breathing was already very shallow so it didn’t affect me so much
when i wore scuba goggles on my face and did push-ups (dont ask why) , i observed that i basically did not feel most of the regular fatigue that came with it , it was one of those nose covering goggles , and it was rather tight on my face , so maybe the tightness made me focus on it rather than the muscular pain , like a scratch on an itch ? i dont know , but maybe he should try it out unless its actually a well known phenomenon that may be potentially harmful.
what if you did altitude training with this mask? would you turn massively up your cardio abilities?
“I was born in the darkness, you merely adopted it”
Can you do a challenge for your eyesight?
Like staring at long distance for 30 min a day, everyday.
I guess it takes more time to improve your eyesight, more than 7 days.
Hello sir
Could you please make a video about hand grip?
Is it helpful for wrist and forearms?
Elevation mask works like breathing through a straw
Doesnt work like working in altitude
Ive been using it since i got it 8 years ago
For using it for a long you will have lower heartbeats pr min
I live in Lake Tahoe which is above 6000ft elevation
I also noticed that when I do heavier lower body exercises I take more deep breaths. I thought I was crazy 😅 maybe I should go down to Sacramento and do heavy squats and see if I breathe as hard
My man how do you have over 2 mil subs but only have 6k likes and 364 comments, with all the work you put in you should have way better engagement hopefully it picks up. Good vid.👍🏻
Hey Pigmie thats not real altitude thats just resistance in real attitude there is less oxygen in the air. This is just resistance same oxygen levels in the air. Thank you, I love your videos!
You should buy an altitude chamber one that goes around your bed or something like that.
Oh my bad you explained later in the video.
so it seems like it would def help with fight endurance for sure.
Def
Please make a Video on Full Body (POWER) Workout.
I mean (Strength + Speed) = POWER
Explosive exercises will probably be your friend. Clap push-ups, jump squats, box jumps, burpees, and some core workout to balance it like planks or hanging leg raises.
@@TheNewTH-camHandlesAreDumb Thanks Man
How many times did you edit out you taking the mask off?
1:14 so it gives you asthma?
I once read about people who aclimated to high altitude having more red blood cells which makes me think of possibly causing high blood pressure. Just thinking
My man looks like bane from Batman
0:44 wait pigmie literally looks like the guy from the advertisement in that box.
The body is more attuned to the levels of co2 in the blood than oxygen. It would be interesting to focus more on the exhale than the inhale. I bet someone could make a channel just redoing all of these as in reaponse video format lol. Ive seen the full plate armor fights and they do mention "helmet clearing" is important to get fresh air to breathe or that sense of panic really sets in from toxic co2
Did you try getting the juice while wearing the mask? Did it improve your time too?
Cool Video! Maybe normal breathing resistence training will be the better Choice/Approach.
idk if this will work for a mask but whenever i have had an issue with plastic/silicon smell i have always soaked the object in vinegar for an hour and that has gotten rid of the smell for me. should try it on video and let us know if it works. i really dont want to get a training mask if i cant get rid of the fume smell.
I’ve been following you since the shuffle tutorial video ❤ Keep up the extraordinary work 🔥
Bro pulled a Joseph joestar
HOLY FUCKING SH** IS THIS A JOJO REFERENCE
How many pistol squats can you do in a row(with little rests between the harder reps)?
"Don't underestimate me!
Just where do you think I got my training anyway?
The air was thinner on top of Mt. Sagiri!"
Love to all of those who thought about Hamon and/or Total Contration Breathing
So you’re basically bane now
0:26
54 pushups
15 pullups
TFW I can't do 1/8th of what this guy does but I can do much more pushups and pullups (my highscores are ~85 and ~25)
Keep at it Pigmie, you're a king👑
I can do up to 15 pushups in a row, 20 if I push myself, and I've currently reached up to 9 pull-ups. I'm pretty proud of how much I'm able to do right now, cuz b4 I couldn't even do so much as 1 pushup or pull-up fully. I hope to continue making progress as I go on, though I haven't have many opportunities to do much exercise while in Nigeria with my dad, and I'm hoping my strength doesn't drop or anything.
Honestly might buy this to help my cardio since I've seen how much progress you made in a week wearing it
don't do it. it's a waste of money. it most likely cause mental adaptations, placebo, rather than physical adaptations.
IS THIS A JOJO REFRENCE!!!
id say you just trained hard broski :) interesting experiment. I'd love to hear about how you felt the week after. I'm sure your breaths would feel more full after a week of that compression
