You’re wrong about respect here my friend. You lost that a long long time ago with the choices you’ve made.
You are angry and as such have lost all connection to what was said and when it was said. My references to hypoxic training resides in the first posts and only in comparison to its methodology being similar in a sense to that of this type of training. N95 training? An N95 is a type of respirator. It’s designed to be worn in a no oil mist environment and fliters out 95% of fine particles down to .3 micron in size. The only relevance this piece of equipment has is that the tools that believe in hypoxic training is that they use the respirator to restrict airflow into the lungs and I compared it to occlusion training in the first couple posts.
I wasn’t a dick to you. I told you what you want to hear. There’s a difference. I haven’t once insulted you. I just haven’t catered to your demands. Who the fuck am I? Lol. Easy pal. I think you need to chill out a bit. We can debate all day long who has been more of an asset to the forums over the past 20 years ad nauseam I’m sure.
I told you what you wanted to hear because that’s all you wanted and you’re acting like a crazy person over something that doesn’t matter. If you think it’s sliced bread bro’ I already told you... keep cranking those tourniquets lol.
You are short sighted. I have read all sorts of literature. When I speak of safety why do you only see what the things written on paper say? Maybe I’m eluding to other things vs. Whether or not a post op patient could develop greater risk of VTE. Maybe I’m speaking to things more practical and not that of whether or not people have medical conditions that may predispose them to injury or death due to underlying medical conditions. But to stop on that there are plenty of papers that state the long term health risks of this training are not completely understood and there are more clinicians out there that still don’t agree with it. There is not any establishment of an agreed upon safe practice when setting up this type training.
Maybe I was speaking to safety in regards to things that don’t exist on paper. Things associated with actually doing the work... things like cuff damage, maybe cuffs being too thin causing repeated terrible bruising or tissue damage, maybe no established or methods for tightness standards, reproducible tightness standards and how that plays in regards to muscle fatigue, not being able to properly feel a limb and losing control because the bands are too tight. Use of such exercises in bigger or compound type lifts where failure can be experienced in an unpredictable manner. Feeling faint or even fainting. This can even be mind related to the feel of the exercises when carrying them out. I could go on and on and on. All valid safety concerns. None of which you will find written in a paper by some academic that hasn’t considered the most significant part of the whole fucking thing...... CARRYING OUT THE MOVEMENTS.
You can include yourself in that lot too. Because you didn’t even think about it. You were too tied up in trying to prove your point.
The whole lot of it is so subjective it’s ridiculous. In that I say more witch craft than it’s worth. Againdata to suggest evidence of some very desirable things we look for as bodybuilders. But nothing I’ve seen that’s significantly measurable. You know what things like that create? people that worry more about tying bands around their arms than actually putting in the work. Boiling the fucking ocean. Hurting themselves because they completely restrict any blood movement. Dropping a weight on their face because they can’t feel their arm, or can’t predict failure.
But hey what do I know.....who the fuck am I right? you keep telling me how much you’ve done and how much of a fucking expert you are. But you didn’t even consider my position... it was there the whole time.
Noob move in my mind.
I can't believe you. You could of talked about these issues originally and I could of responded in kind, so let's break it down.
1)I know what respirator training is (i'm a friggen clinician afterall), and inducing hypoxic changes via lung capacity is NOT what BFR training is despite causing a hypoxic change to the tissues, and far from it. You continue to try to attach a label to this and create a comparison which is a totally different action and metabolic pathway.
2) Let's talk about your concerns: Tourniquet size has been established to be a 2" MINIMUM cuff width because of said potential damage. Occlusion happens in clinical setting with pressure cuff measuring mmHG which is taken at the moment pedal pulse in the foot disappears if lower extremity and radial pulse in the upper extremity, then backed off by 20%. Any person who pulls a strap and their arms go numb should have the forthought to back it off, or else they deserve the damage, just as much as a dumbass who weighs 150 and tries to squat 3x their weight and crashes. You talk about patient populations with VTE, do you fucking believe in a second i'm going to expose a patient to a force that they are contraindicated to, thus injuring them and getting my ass sued?? If anyone has a VTE and tries to squat heavy or go balls to the wall with any exercise as you suggest (because you know you train so basic and balls to the wall) you're going to induce a dislodging and cause a stroke in the process!! Again, who the hell do you think I am? ALL people need to be screened. ALL these concerns you talk about, well guess what homie?? that's been looked at despite what you inadvertadely claimed without actually looking at the said research you said you're so versed in.
3) As per 2, you talk about boiling the ocean, not dropping weight on their face, etc. have you not seen gym memes or any of the other diatribe on the net with normal asshats and even experienced lifters dropping extreme weights, snapping limbs, hurting themselves by training just too hard or too Much?? Those are outliers to every scenario, and you believing that it all comes down to just not working hard enough so people want to resort to other modalities of training is absolute horse shit because it belongs in the gutter. Advancements are made, training is done differently, and while the basics are always the part of it, there is undeniable proof that you refuse to admit to because of whatever old school adage you belong to that there are sometimes better ways for some people, and even older trainers who can't lift nearly as heavy because of injury or associated risk.
Where are you not getting this?? First you say you respect me, then you tell me you dont and that I lost it from whatever choices I've made in the past?? excuse me?? exactly what choices? That's completley laughable and not worth the time to put onto screen. I know i'm of value, i've been a clinician and a damn good one for 10 years, and for anyone especially the likes of yourself to try to tell me otherwise i'll disregard because it's horse shit. I don't need to have a national level pro physique or ifbb card to qualify as such. So again, you started this by making false claims or trying to say your point without providing any evidence, and you could of said in your second post the exact shit now and I would of countered it with the evidence of establishment. But you don't want that...because you don't want to hear from someone like me who actually knows a thing or two and can back it up. I just stay quiet on these boards because it's not worth the shit flinging but i'm tired of people who try to slug their way around with back handed insults and condecension, and yea you are being difficult for the very purpose of being a prick because you don't like me. Pretty straight up.
