Cross country skiers have the highest VO2 max of all sportsmen. They feckin’ live in these things.

I wonder how far you can push this?

when people say Hendo was gassed and others say “were you watching the fight what gassed?” I can never understand why they say that. I watched the fight and in between round 1 and 2 hendo is breathing heavy, VERY heavy and has his mouth open for air, even heaving. Anderson looks like he hasn’t gotten off the couch by comparison. If this was meant to be an endorsement for this product it didn’t sell me even though I know the concept is valid. [sort of]. Hypervaric chambers[not clue how to spell it] are used in hockey. M nhl team got one a few years back and it speeds the rate at which a body heals and all sorts of crap. If hendo used this he used it wrong imho or used it backwards thinking he knew better. Maybe he mis read the instructions. It wouldn’t suprise me to be honest.

why do some ppl write title style in every single word? It’s kind of annoying reading it. I’m not trying to pick on you, I’m just wondering really

So I just read this post and went to lunch. As I came back into my building through the freight entrance, what do I see? About 10 boxes of Hypoxico Altitude Training Systems on their way out for shipping. Hypoxico is in MY BUILDING!! I can only hope that someone contacts me and invites me up to the 5th floor to meet some fighters….. ahhh dreams. Lovely.

Simply,

Low Altitude increases oxygen diffusion, more oxygen to blood, more training.

After that long day of training, you go back to High Altitude, where there is less oxygen in the atmosphere and your body has to compensate by creating more red blood cells to deliver oxygen.

And you become the longer trained, more RBC (red blood celled) fighter.

[quote post=”5628″]anyone know why he changed his nickname from hollywood to dangerous dan?[/quote]

-They called him Hollywood in Japan and he always hated it, so he changed to Dangerous.

Props on the high altitude training info. I used a sleeping chamber several years ago and it helped me get rid of my migraine headaches. There not near as expensive as they used to be, and there pretty cheap to rent.

Gassed? Were we watching the same fight? Spider strikes, not stamina, were Hendo’s downfall.
