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.
Yes it does help in balancing out your stroke...but if you don't beleive that restricting your air intake (even more by the addtional valve you can use) during extremally hard workouts is hypoxic I can't help you. In my opinion it has far more relevance than swimming a "breathe every 3, 5, 7, 9" set which to me is absolutley worthless.
Like I said, I've never used a snorkel except when snorkeling (or scuba diving). I've never even examined the Finis type snorkel. I wasn't aware that they provided any restriction at all. I was just asking.
