Have you seen what Wand is up to with his conditioning?

[Jimmy Boogaloo]

Shows a little bit of his "hypoxia" style of training (as seen on All Access) where he does his entire workout breathing only through a snorkel.

Don't know how that effects the results of the training? I would have thought it will increase lung capacity regardless, I see what you're getting at though.

Do they make nose snorkels?

Gimmick...

^^ seriously? Does it have no effect?

[Alex Gold]

What effect do you think it would have?

Also, how often do you think he does it?

I would say it makes your inspiratory muscles work harder - thereby increasing their strength and endurance.

I get the impression you're inviting me to say something you will disagree with lol

Is the strength of your respiratory muscles a limiting factor then?
