Elevation mask are pointless

[L3TH4L]

I trained with one for a month straight and the gains I experienced would've been the same without one. If anything, my mental strength is the only thing that improved from pushing through the unnecessary oxygen deprivation. In my personal experience this product is simply a placebo. There's no substitute for real high altitude training.

Definitely agree that they are mostly pointless. All the do is restrict your ability to get oxygen into the body. They don't simulate training at high altitudes at all.

Forgot to mention that I agree with the placebo effect. So many people believe in it and then convince themselves it's working.

There are better ways to condition the lungs that don't involve looking like an al Queda operative.

I've never believed in that gimmick. Look at all the champions/great fighters today and in the past. They didn't need that why should you?

I've never understood how beneficial and comfortable training intensely while wearing that stuff on your face depriving you of oxygen. **** that ****.

[JakeMax]

Yeah, 100% gimmick. But I still have to convince friends they are being foolish when they tell me they are going to get one.
