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.

Maybe I should rename the thread "Hypoxic Sets to help learn control of one's diaphragm? No not the contraceptive type...
I enjoyed the posts: scientific, old wive's tales, conjecture; pro and anti.
I agree practicing 200's is a good way to practice that last 2 or 3 turns and the feeling.
I also beleive that trainin win hypox sets will help the body adapt...even if purely on psycho' and perhaps muscular control levels.
I can't say whetehr I will get faster because of it but I think it will help my times.
Why do athletes train at altitude for sports events in places like Mexico city if it doesn't at least prepare them for a change?
Maybe it's all placebo but like anything else on this forum whther it's TI, Kick Sets, Drag Suits, Nose Clips, Snorkels, Visualisation or Mantras if you do not believe it will work or help then it probably won't. As you won't apply yourself to training efficiently and then the results will reiforce your belief that a certain technique is bunk. 90% mental right?
