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.

Geek, we've seen two articles in this thread supporting the point of view that hypoxic training doesn't cause additional adaptations. Here's a couple more.
Effects of Hypoxic Interval Training on Cycling Performance
The effects of intermittent hypoxic training on aerobic and anaerobic performance
If you really want to debate me on this, I would suggest you find some opposing literature. I'm not saying it's not out there, it could be. But the evidence we have here seems to agree with me. The swimming-specific study is especially good evidence for our purposes.
I think it's weird that you are so obsessed with my use of Google Scholar (owned by Google!). An academic research article is an academic research article, regardless of how you find it.
