Hypoxic Advice/Workouts--Not Your opinion of Hypox Efficacy
Former Member
Discusing Hypoxic sets with a freind, can anyone suggest a good hypoxic set for me.
I'm doing 3500-4000 3x a week and a short sprint workout on the weekend. I will not likely add another day to my schedule.
What's a good starting workout, and also where in my workout should I do this? Do you mix it up e.g. hard interval set then a hypox or hypox and then a pace set.
I am guessing mixing is a good thing but what's a good start point for a set and intervals for this? BR and FR being my stronger strokes.
Annually we do the 12 50’s of Christmas; however it can be done any time.
Set an interval that gives you about 15 seconds rest at 85% effort (e.g. on 50 sec. if you hold 35’s)
1) 50 free, 12 breaths total
2) 50 free, 10 breaths total
3) 50 free, 9 breaths total
…
11) 50 free, 2 breaths total
12) 50 free, 1 breaths total
After #6 we add 5 seconds to the interval.
For the real macho types, we take an extra minute then throw in one more no breather 50.:weightlifter:
